Look for recordings by Sheffield Labs (Clair Marlo's "Let it Go" is one
of my all-time favorites even for casual listening)--they take their
recordings *very* seriously. Telarc also produces some amazing
pure-digital recordings that are good for stressing-out systems.

google headphone science. It's free, experimental/electronic that
doesn't suck.

I can't name specific albums, but here's some songs:
Seal, his self titled album, the song Crazy. The last 45 seconds or so is
insane. Come to think of it, a lot of Seal's songs have some fairly dynamic
bass.
Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral, the song Closer.
Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms, the song Money For Nothing.
The Eagles, When Hell Freezes Over, the song Hotel California.
Steve Winwood, Chronicles, the song Higher Love.
Limp Bizkit, Significant Other, the song Nookie.
The Big Picture (Telarc), the track The Apollo 13 Mission.

That's a great CD, I used to have that one years ago. Lots of awesome
recordings of (as the name suggests) movie score music.
One I've suggested often for testing bass is Mike Oldfield's "Amarok" album - go
about a minute, minute and a half in. And keep it turned down the first time
through, just to be safe ;)
Some of my non-boom fav's are:
Prison Sex - Tool
More Human than Human (It's a special mix, can't think of the name) - White
Zombie
Magic Carpet Ride - Stepenwolf

You know.. not someone who I ever really listen to, but for testing an
audio system, Van Halen has unbelievable sound production. Very, Very
clean sound! In fact I never listen to them, but the few times I've put
in a cd of theirs, the music is so well produced and mixed. You might
want to try one of their cd's.
