I didn't have time to read the whole thread so forgive any repeats! OK ones which spring to mind-

John Williams - Jurassic Park Theme on John Williams Greatest Hits 1969-1999 - very deep bass and quite plentiful, a good, balanced system will reveal texture and weight but not overwhelm the rest of the piece.

Aaron Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man on Copland 100 (Reference Recordings) Eiji Oue, Minnesota Orchestra. The opening bass drum shots are immense and should have impact and 'shake' and a looooot of decay.

TLC 'No Scrubs' and 'Waterfalls', very deep (almost sub) bass. Some systems I've heard (and owned, although not for long!) actually miss the deeper notes completely.

Madonna - Substitute For Love, again very deep bass, not plentiful, but a very low note some systems can't reproduce.

Madonna - Hey Mr DJ, ridiculous amount of well over the top bass.

Bjork - Hyperballad, on Post, also Army of Me. In fact a lot of her music has good bass.
