Turning speakers into demolition tools...

I know I'm in the speaker forum asking about music... but it's music for a specific type of speaker, and there's usually some good subwoofer or bass type discussion in here.

I thought it might be interesting to get some suggestions for great bass tracks from different genres of music. What tracks to you turn to when you want to really see what your new woofer or sub can do? Your best track/speaker combination for knocking things off walls? Any interesting "destruction" stories?

Madonna's "Music" is a great thumper...

Any great classical tracks?

Track 4 on Keith Richards', "Main Offender." If you don't hear and feel deep bass, your speakers fail.

Telarc 1812 Overture of course.
 
"Tank" from Emerson, Lake and Palmer. We used to literally watch the plastic tone control covers on the speaker grills of my Jensen's fly off when the bass hits.
 
Madonna's "Music" is a great one. The whole house throbs. I bought that album just for that song. I could care less abbout the words or the message, but it sounds good.

"Still, you turn me on". There's bass on that track that not a lot of people know about.

Pussy, by who knows. Most stereos can't reproduce this right and double the bass notes.
 
I like New Order's Blue Monday for some serious bass work out for my A-400's
 
Telarc "pictures at an exhibition "( classical)
Massive attack "angel "(ambient house)
Monster magnet " spacelord" (rock metal)

We regularly blast our next door neighbors from hell with Led Zeppelin's 'Lemon Song' using a 9090 and a pair of JBL 4311 whenever their frig**in mutt won't shut up. Knocks their chinaware and Champagne glasses off the counter on the other side of the kitchen wall. Plus - I love it even when their dog isn't barking. Then, of course, there is the Temptations 'Papa was a rolling stone' to finish off the job.

I have a "neighbors dog" problem too! I like that solution. :thmbsp:
 
I'm gonna site a little track by the name off Magic Dub again. It's how I learned my new subs truly go infrasonic.

If your sub can reproduce this accurately, you're breaking windows!

Wow. I've heard this recording before, but this is the first time I put it on some decent equipment. (downloaded FLAC - to CD, played on 2 pairs L100, powered by Yamaha CR-3020 and CA-2010) I didn't have it too loud - I thought - and the bass kettle drum notes were great!! But then the cannons went off near the end - and the white cones of my L-100s just about flew across the room! :yikes:

I jumped up and turned it down, and kicked in the 15hz filter. The cannon frequency could be measured visually on the woofer - I'm guessing about 2 - 4 hz. :D
