Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers?


What is the first song you played when you listened to your new system for the 1st time?

A Great topic,
Among others, iI use Herbie Hancock, River The Joni letters track two Edith and the Kingpin, featuring  Tina Turner, Wayne Shorter etc, beautifully recorded with many complex layers , subtle bass it really sorts out how well my speakers are placed and how well a streamer can recreate the various instruments timbre and placement and clarity. Infact the whole album is good for this but track 2 is my favourite I guess thats why the albumn won the top Grammy award in 2007
Fleetwood Mac Dreams
Donald Fagen:  Tomorrow's Girls
Dire Straits:  Six Blade Knife
Also for newer music:  Zhu, Post Malone. 
Motorhead used Back in Black to soundcheck equipment, and if it's good enough for Motorhead, it's good enough for me.
But I would also add Dire Straits' debut and Neil Young's Harvest.
  • Dire Straits - Water of Love  
  • Genesis - Duchess 
  • Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
  • Dave Brubeck - Take Five
