Hiya basschick

Impact is nice.

If you see a font you like post it up here and I'll try to identify it for you. I have close to 1000 fonts in my font manager, and would be happy to give you one

I recommend Impact, or even arial on bold, both are nice and easy to read, and have a sort of modern Ministry Of Sound look to them when done in a solid on solid color scheme.

I think i like Impact too much
Admisi display ssi is one of my fave one too. Kinda similar to impact.

Futura is a nice type that comes in many different weights, including some very bold. This is one of my favs.

Univers and Helvetica Neue are also available in many different weights and have a not so modern look to them as Futura. These typefaces have many different sizes so you can choose how heavy you want it.

A couple good ones off the top of my head are Arial Black and Microstyle Bold Extended. And you can always use the Bold and Faux Bold attributes in Photoshop to make them fatter.
