Softer genres will definitely help. Metal is one of the genres of music that is known for a phenomenon called "wall of sound". Essentially everything is so loud that it's difficult to ascertain individual parts, or even the melody of the song. If you're trying to do ear training, it helps to pick a single instrument within the song, and focus solely on that instrument when you listen, and listen to the same song 2 or 3 times in a row, focusing on that one instrument. Then, repeat the process with another instrument. I can provide you some songs that are by bands you may like that would definitely help you with ear training, if you wish.

It's funny. I barely hear ~any~ bass in a lot of the more intense ELUVIETIE songs, but when I listen to something like Busta Rhymes, Wu Tang Clan, or Masta Ace -- there's bass out the wazoo.

Artists like Busta Rhymes and Wu Tang Clan push the bass way up in the recording and mixing process, to the point that on really cheap speakers that can't handle it well, it sounds like mud. Some of the best bands for getting a good bass that isn't overpowering include Gorillaz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rush.

Maybe true, but "Fire It Up" is still my fave song.
KNIGHT RIDER, YO!
TURBO BOOST, KITT!!!

Yeah, the bass is definitely turned up in the mix, but it's not egregious. Another one with a solid, identifiable bass track is Self Esteem by the Offspring.
