I'm somewhat the same way.  I wouldn't call myself a bass-freak, but at
the same time, I do enjoy the occasional blast of deep bass that makes
the entire room shake.  What's your favorite disc that you put in when
you're in a bass mood?  Mine seems to be Enya "Watermark".  Specifically
track 10, though there are several tracks on this disc with amazingly
satisfying bass.  You also get the added bonus of getting to listen to
an excellent CD.  Definitely one of my favorites if not THE favorite.
