Songs for Discriminating Ears

What are your favorite songs (preferably popular) that show off the quality of your music system; specifically imaging and depth?  I love the guitar "here"; vocalist "there"; and drum "back over there".  I have McIntosh, Martin Logan, JL Audio equipment and am constantly looking for songs that distinguish the best, but am often times disappointed in the recordings.
