Great Music to Intro Non-Audiophiles to the Hobby

my bro/sis in law came by, not audiophiles or big music buffs by any means, but do enjoy some music quite a bit.

played them U2's "in a little while" off 'all that you can't leave behind' and suddenly they got it....heads spinning looking for other speakers, perplexed how there was imaging between the speakers...awesome.

figure good intro music to non-audiophiles has to be very well-known & very well-recorded. other ideas include:

Stones: Sticky Fingers (Can't You Hear Me Knocking) or Goat's Head Soup (Angie)

Pink Floyd: anything off Wish You Were Here or Dark Side..

U2: aforementioned

AC/DC: 74' Jailbreak remaster

what else?

Abba and Be Gees, will not impress anyone other than Mama mia show goers!
By the way i have several audiophile gay friends and certainly dont listen to Abba period.
Play something like acoustic alchemy great hits i noticed people like smooth jazz tunes, feel good tracks.
