Only two tracks to test your system, forever!

chocaholic and richdirector: Was curious about the Hippo, so listened to it. Seems intriguing. How low does that bass play (in Hz). 

Now need to find myself a decent download of the tune (only listened on computer). 

Updated: ordered CD

Two songs I always use to test new equipment…

Melody Gardot - if you love me

Big Thief - change 

Over My Head - Fleetwood Mac

Sunshine on my Shoulder (or Annie's Song) - John Denver

Hotel California was a bit of a surprise to me as well.  Not a pleasant surprise either.

Lana Del Ray - Venice B**ch.  The width and depth of this marvellous production and the layering of the textures will really test the system.  Can the system present this complicated production as a homogenous whole? Does the sound completely fill the room as it will on a good system?

FKA Twigs - Home With You.  That orchestral ending is tough to get right.  
 

Two previous mentions I would like to concur with - Daft Punk - Giorgio by Moroder I agree is a real system test, especially to hold those rhythms in place. And School by Supertramp has so many system-pushing elements to it.
