Before anything else make sure you like whatever it is you're listening to. I couldn't care less if a brilliant audio engineer listened to death metal, I still wouldn't listen to that crap. Likewise, if you don't like anything listed below don't freakin' bother! In any case...

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing (song)

Hands down the first thing to listen to in my opinion. Absolutely amazing intro along with a great mix of drums and guitar throughout.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (Song & Album)

This is the CD Money for nothing is on, while that song is great for testing I think the Brothers in Arms is one of the most beautiful songs ever performed and the whole CD is pretty solid.

Godsmack - The Other Side (Album)

Acoustic version of 'classic' Godsmack tunes. They sound much better this way in my opinion.

Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson, The Only Living Boy in New York (Songs)

Great songs where you really hear voices more than the music in the background.

Megadeath - Symphony of Destruction (Song)
Metallica - One, Enter Sandman (Songs)

Excellent rock with a lot of sounds going on together - you'll notice weaknesses in lesser headsets/speakers here.

System of a Down - Lonely Day, Lost in Hollywood, ATWA, Roulette (Songs from various albums)

Surprisingly SOAD has won awards for the quality of their recordings, Toxcity in particular took a handful. These are some of my favorite songs, again a bit more acoustic stuff but some heavier bits mixed in. All their albums are good though, if you like them anyway.

And of course "The White Album" is mandatory.

youtube was used as an example, i don't think anyone expected you to use it to test your system.

Meshuggah - Bleed

8-string guitar paired with short bursts of double drums throughout all 7 or 8 min of the song.

When I first got my Logitech X-230 (Yea I know) I thought they were the coolest coming from my laptop's speakers. The song I blasted that had awesome bass and awesome other parts imo was Many Men- 50 cent, this was around 3 years ago that I did this but from what I remember, It was a good song. Not sure if the bass is better than king kong or fat joe songs but I liked it.
