Gemini is good shit.
Deadmau is another great one. Klaypex is pretty good. I agree with Kadarin, the good stuff is really good, but most of it just sucks horribly.

There are many different styles so its really tough to pin down and people's tastes vary.

UKFdubstep has quite a few interesting tracks from a number of artists and styles. There is a huge list but just a couple of examples:

I think Modestep is pretty good too:

lol. This reminds me of when I was 15 and i wore Jenco jeans. The Jeans that were really baggy and had huge pockets. My parents friend told me when I got older that I would deny I ever wore them. I have a feeling dubstep will be held in the same light.

nero is good

Nero is the only dubstep artist that I can stand, and I don't even like most of the album. The only songs that I can really stand are My Eyes and Promises, which the latter always sounds like "From Jesus" (the Latino pronunciation). :p

Doomsday has too much of the usual sounds-like-someone-is-throwing-up-random-sounds problem that most Dubstep has with me.

I love bass music. dubstep, trap, moombahton, electro house. a long time ago I decided that bass is my favorite part of music, so thats how i got started with drum n bass and jungle, etc. anyways here's a cutting edge track i've been digging, that clearly most people on this forum will hate, given the previous responses:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4fWsfiUECY

people should know that its ridiculous to say one type of music is terrible. different music is terrible to different people. for instance, I cant stand most country music. I cant stand opera, or any type of "musical", even though some people think its the most beautiful thing they have ever heard. I listen to a lot of classical music too, go figure.

edit: also, for the one or two people that actually dig that track, go lookup "bro safari". he's a trap/moombah producer thats essentially creating his own genres of bass music.

and, of course, don't bother listening if you dont have bass.

I find that EVERY kind of music has 95-99% crap and 1-5% great stuff.

Dubstep just happens to be that kind of music that has 0% great stuff (from what I've heard/seen). And I tried.....

I bought the following two on itunes. I like these two songs out of the ones I have heard. There is a third song that I heard on Slacker that i can't remember or find for the life of me, but its another sick one. The two below are badass.

decent stuff, kind of a good "intro to dubstep" if you will. on the softer side too, of course. once you get more into the genre you may develop an appreciation for the harder stuff. dubstep thrives on a series of dissonant sounds. saw waves (the electro sound). stuff that sounds awful to some people. but eventually it grows on you, if you let it.

Head over to a D&B channel and you can hear what music sounds like with an Amen Break as the driving beat.

There are probably quite a few out there, but when it comes to Drum-n-Bass, Pendulum is a good band that I'll listen to quite a bit. I've been rather fond of one of their (relatively) newer songs, Crush, from the Immersion album:

oh yeah, I went through a huge pendulum phase that lasted years. But I've kinda played it out for myself now and barely listen to them anymore. I saw them live at a small venue in vegas a year or two ago...it was pretty damn awesome. The bass reverberated all over the place in that small club.

My favorite song was Granite. It drops real hard.
