Good Midbass Songs?

[wvufootball 10+ year member]

I have been messing with the xover on my mids and I want to see how low I can cross them safely. What are some good songs to see how low they can go without bottoming out?

Edit - wrong section, my bad. Can a mod please move it to general?

tool, and a perfect circle i know both have quite a bit of mid-bass in most of their music.

also certain 311 has some strong mid-bass.

A lot of Daft Punk is great for midbass. Mid 90s techno ftw

the intro (first track) on Common's album "BE".

or John Legend - Save room.

those are the only ones on top of my head.

Amber is a good mid-bass song by them

Boston. Lots of drum beats that make your mids shine.

Aphex Twin - Girl Boy Song (great for imaging and staging as well)

NIN - Into the Void

Raiden - Fallin' (I uploaded it since it's pretty difficult to find: http://media.putfile.com/Raiden---Fallin-Friction-Remix-11 )

Jethro Tull - Watching me Watching you (really, you can get anything off of Broadsword and the Beast and be happy with the midbass; awesome CD)

Natural Anthem by The Postal Service is a GREAT midbass song.

i just picked up 311's Greatest Hits 93-03. this CD is insane for bass/mid-bass. the overall recording and SQ is also pretty good on the entire cd. Amber is probably one of the best songs you could use to test mid-bass.

Yep, those are both honorable mentions. A Perfect Circle and Tool can both make your midbass sound like poop and bring out every little harmonic and/or resonance problem you have. I thought the first deadening job on the Integra was good until I plopped in the green A Perfect Circle album (can't think of the name of the album right now).

Also take a listen to the Spies CD (self-titled - it's the name of the band and the name of the album). Be careful with the volume though if you value your subwoofers. Seriously.

Hell yea, Tool's song for Marie on 10,000 days is a song that destroys my car with all sorts of resonances.
