What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks

Ode to Boy (Live) -Yazoo , Behind the Wheel - Depeche Mode , How Soon is Now -The Smiths , Slave to Love - Bryan Ferry , Famous Blue Raincoat - both Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warnes versions. Anything with a lot of synth as well like Gesaffelstein.

It's not clear to me who these reference tracks are intended for....the owner or a new listener.
Playing a new listener a track unknown to them will mean less than something they've heard endlessly on the radio or other/their systems. That's why I find myself demoing/showing-off my system with a DVD-level version of Zeppelin's Whole Lot of Love....it's like hearing it for the first time!
For my personal enjoyment remastered BluRay audio discs, with zero compression on the drums, etc., do the trick for me:
Stevie Wonder - Joy Inside My Tears
King Crimson - Epitaph
The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (not a favorite song, but the tom toms will move your chest!)
The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It in the Road (the complexity of that opening drum fill in hi-def has to be heard to be believed)
Van Morrison - Moondance
Beethoven - The Symphonies, Herbert Von Karajan, Berliner Harmoniker (all 9 symphonies and a half hour of No. 9 rehearsals on ONE disc!)
Caveat emptor: not all hi-res discs sound incredible....

remastered BluRay audio discs,

I looked around and don't find BluRay discs of the titles you listed... DVD of "Whole Lotta Love"  ?? The Beatles?? Where do you get them?

what are you playing them on? Home theater ?

thanks

Imv, a good system will make badly recorded and pressed LPs sound … genuinely interesting and entertaining. 

My standard for that is almost anything released by Studio 1 from Jamaica.
