Best tracks to "show off" your system

First time ever I saw your face-George Michael's Version

to show off, i tell my friend to bring their own CDs.

Yeah, "2 Against Nature" is pretty hard to beat. I also love the original soundtrack recording of "Princess Mononoke" on the Milan label (Red Book CD).

I like acoustic and organic based music. Chris Isaak's Baja Sessions, Jack Johnson's first album (mentioned above), Willie Nelson's Teatro, Paul Kelly's May 1992.

For full band, vintage albums include the Band's Music from Big Pink and Marvin Gaye's What's Going On.

Planty and Kraussy off the album 'Raising sand', track title
'Sister Rosetta goes before us', mesmerizing lilting track, lovely vocals by Kraussy, and all the instruments are nice with a special mention of the violin/fiddle in the background.
