Bands with BASS!

I second the Death suggestion.
Also, any of those death metal bands with that awesome bass sound going on like Gorguts and Obscura.

Sunn O))), Sleep, erm... early Green Day as Dookie has some raunchy basslines. Rush is pretty good, especially the material on Clockwork Angels. Jane's Addiction has some pretty nice bass sounds like the opener on Three Days. The Clash's London Calling has some great great lines such as The Guns of Brixton and the title track.

Also agree with the Death suggestion. Will also suggest Coroner.

Also, Testament's Souls of Black song has awesome bass playing in it.

[Ahielia]

Give him some AC/DC too, especially Shoot to Thrill, Jailbreak and High Voltage.

The best one is definitely Red Hot Chilli Peppers though, Flea is a ****ing beast with the bass.

Suprised no one has suggested Muse yet. Listen to "Plug in Baby", "Futurism", "Hysteria", "Hyper Music", or "Panic Station". They turn the bass up pretty loud, plus all the distortion on it.

I'm VERY surprised no one mentionned Emerson, Lake and Palmer, considering it's pretty much a bass/keys/drum band

If he likes metal, or prog, or both, I can suggest Gojira, Obscura, and such bands.
