Arrow Best Music to test Speakers, & headphones with.

I'm not looking for any certain music type, the genre doesn't really matter.

I'm just wanting everyone to post what some of your downright, ultimate Favorite songs are to listen to on you're nice new headphones, or a new Speaker system in your car, or something of that sort. As I just got my System in my truck to go along with all my better quality music I've got lately.

Everything that isn't FLAC, I've done in Apple Lossless for my ipod and in the truck, as I have a fairly decent car audio setup as well.

So go on, lets see some of you guys post the songs you think make a stereo sound the best, or that is just fun to listen to.

I'll sort of go first, This is by no means my favorite song. It's actually really weird. But it's a SWEET song to turn up and hear.

Just a weird, cool song, makes highs sound great.

When I get a new sound system it's...
Mr Roboto by Styx FTW!

Also... Jump by Van Halen

And then like an hour of mixed electronica stuff.

I am a fan of The Eagles' original Hotel California album. I'm a huge fan of the Eagles anyways, but I really like the overall recording/mastering of this particular album. Very clean and punchy - great if you're looking to demo new subs or something.

EDIT: Added a nice 30 second sample.

Word dude, Chronic 2001 was definitely one of the best rap albums ever if not the best.

i think any song will do, as long ask you have heard it a million times, that way you can tell which system performs the best. i would suggest, hotel california - eagles. the unforgiven - metallica. I would also suggest motion picture soundtracks, as they incorporate many instruments.

I'm A Boss by Lonely Island. That song has tons of bass to thoroughly test bass. For acoustics, try Jigsaw Falling Into Place by Radiohead.

EDIT: This song has lots of bass:

For bass, believe it or not, I find Boom Boom Pow to work very well, especially for bass-heavy HD 202's like mine.

Acoustic-wise, try Lost? by Coldplay. The piano and the voices in the background make the atmosphere sound relaxing.
