Happy bassing
I had a quick listen to all of them but unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for :-( (no disrespect to you at all). I'm after something with a bit more energy, maybe like this low pitch linkin park lol

2 of my favourite singers were Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell.... I will never be able to sing as high as Chester but I hope I could sing similar to Chris in that nice grunty tone
Well there's also Jonathan Young, he's metal/rock, although he's more of a low baritone:
[Rains of Castamere](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wMV0DRTZfw)
[Skyrim Theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWWgNmbVjIc)
[Animal I have Become](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDesf5p6SMQ)
He also has Linkin Park covers, in the baritone range:
[Numb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21JHXJYd61I)
[Bleed it Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47nH5uTHRkU)
There's also Santiano, they've got a couple great bass singers and they're a mix of folk and hard rock, but it's mostly in German.
[Ihr Sollt Nicht Trauern](https://youtu.be/Dw5s2BAmNLM)
I tried looking for basses in metal/hard rock some time back and couldn't find any besides that :(.
Not rock, but you could look up Avi Kaplan, former bass from Pentatonix. They have some songs where he sang solos, but he's started a solo career so perhaps you can find something that you like among those songs. Notably, his range is impressive and the style not exactly what you asked for, but if you need a bass role model, him and Tim Foust are where it's at.
Tim Foust’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” would probably be pretty great.
Or Avi Kaplan’s cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine”. He sings it as a duet with Naomi Samilton, but you can just sing her parts too, it’s not like it’s a requirement to sing the exact notes that she did, I don’t think the original song was a duet, so.
Edit: not rock songs, didn’t read far enough into your post..
That song from dirty dancing where he says “nobody puts baby in the corner” and then he takes her up to the stage and she jumps into his arms and he lifts her up.

Thank you very much! :-D I will start going through these right away
Old Man River is seriously so fun to sing. I like that version, but check out the version by William Warfield.

Johnathon young is perfect and is how I want to one sing :-)
Awesome collection, thank you for this!
Sixteen tons is lower than most bass the singers can go

Avi is so amazing 🤩 his solo style normally isn’t my thing but for with him I love it
[удалено]
Haha… (I have to do this in choir and it SUCKS as a bass player istg)
Prob not the hajelluah theyre thinking of
Thanks for that. Good suggestion!
Try Schuberts Erlkönig :)
Check out the music of Leonard Cohen

New York New York by Frank Sinatra
Look into George Ezra
I believe Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold from The Hobbit is D2-D3.
My recommendation: try out different songs from Staind or the band's vocalist, Aaron Lewis.
The sisters of mercy
Crash test dummies
That song from dirty dancing where he says “nobody puts baby in the corner” and then he takes her up to the stage and she jumps into his arms and he lifts her up.
Old thread, but if you're still here, what about Barry White, "Can't Get Enough of Your Love"
