I just got my system in my car and am continusly looking for music to test out the system, and soemthing that is good to listen to rather than the stupid bass test mucis that is cheesy as hell
I have some Bad Boy Bill that i am going to try later tonight, and a multiitude of other light bass songs, and a few heavy bass songs, but it is hard to get anyhting that isn't super hard core.
I kinda want some good rave music/techno songs to listen to
Thanks

Kid Rock (the new one and I must say, it kicks a$$ and it slams in my car)
Ludacris
Guns & Roses
Metallica
Creed
If your sub encloser is ported then just about anything is going to be boomy.
if you have morphues just type in rave or techno.

to really test the hifi quality of a system,try something like a well produced music like some "Steely Dan",if you're not familiar,look it up and check it out,great stuff,real "clean" music.
:)
Some bands that I've found to produce good clean tight bass in their tunes:
Methods of Mayhem
Korn
SoulFly
Fast and the Furious soundtrack
Spawn soundtrack
Deftones
POD
Beastie Boys
White/Rob Zombie
NIN
There's many many others. but these are some good ones.
It's probably not the style you are looking for, but "#1 Crush" by Garbage actually challenges my subwoofer better than anything else on my playlist...
Im with the clam. #1 Crush cranks hard.
Current tracks on the cabbage's driving song list:
Chop Suey - System of a down
Last Resort - Papa Roach
Hero of the day - Metallica
Bombtrack - RATM
Stinkfist (man, this rocks) - Tool
Planet Earth - Eskimo Joe
Who Sold Her Out - Eskimo Joe
Monsters - Something for Kate
3 Dimensions - Something for Kate
The Metallica S&M concert - Both CD's.
If your into anything slightly different, I cannot recommend Eskimo Joe, and Something for Kate enough. 3 Dimensions is probably a good 'kate song to pick up from, and Who Sold her out, from Eskimo Joe. Both australian bands, that sit somewhere between alternate rock, and traditional acoustic.
The CD I use for testing any Hi Fi is Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. It is excellent as there are both electronic and orchestral instruments on nearly all the tracks. It goes from quiet to loud real quick and on a good system, the stereo definition is excellent, with a strong sound stage.
I don't think it's any coincidence that at those car audio contests the judges use classical pieces in addition to all the bass stuff to judge just how good a car sounds.
I don't know which ones they use specifically, but I remember reading about one of the contests when I was having speakers installed.
You should use as many different music types as possible when testing. It's impossible to have one song that is going to do everything.
for bass:
LTJ Bukem
Plasticman
for techno/dance/club
Danny Tenaglia
John Digweed
Paul Oakenfold
What about AC\DC ????
Jimi Hendrix - Fire (from the Experience CD)
U2 - Zooropa (zippy baseline is good test for recoil time on your subs).
Also spracht zarathustra - R. Strauss (great for testing distortion) This is from the 2001: A Space Odessey soundtrack.
Nirvana - Territorial Pissings (another good distortion test and punchy bassline)
Bach's Tocatta & Fugue in d-minor (good test for freq. response) See Phantom of the Opera soundtrack.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Voodoo Chile instrumental (good test for amp heat tolerance and dispersion). Warning: It's real long and recorded at high gain. It has been known to set amps in fire.

Their music is too "sticcato" sounding (punchy) and doesn't have very complex chords. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em. They just don't make a good sound test.
If you like techno Prodigy's CD "Fat of The Land" has some boom. Smack My B**** Up is a great cruising song.
If your after some good house/techno dance tunes heres some not bad tunes to try
St. Etienne - Angel (Way Out West Remix)
Leftfield - Afrika Shox
Iio-Rapture(John Creamer And Stephane K Remix)also check out the Deep Dish Remix
Jakatta - Ever So Lonely
kylie Minogue - Cant get you out of my head (superchumbo mix)
Weekend Players - 21st Century(original mix)
Satoshi Tomiie - Love In Traffic (Satoshi Tomiie Dark Path Mix) Very dark bit highly recommended on the Smurf Scale
Groove Armada - If Everybody Looked The Same (DJ Icey's Arctic Mix)
Brainbug - Nightmare (Club 69 Future Mix)
Paul Oakenfold - The Silence 2000 feat Sarah McLachlan(DJ Tiesto remix)
Tilt - Seduction of Orpheus
If its albums you are after try to get some "Global Underground" albums on the clubboxed label, The last album was Deep Dish from Moscow which was damm good by the way. They follow the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, Darren Emerson,Danny Tenaglia and Paul Okenfold. You should be able to get them on import.
For some local home grown talent try BT as he has some dame good stuff flying round at the moment.
Let me know if you need any more tunes. I've got a good collection of tunes built up here.
Cheers
Papa"dance junkie"Smurf
