What is/are your favorite tracks to play while demoing a system/speakers? For me it is Yello-One Second "La Habinera" it has several kinds of drums,horns, and vocals. It has worked well for me.

Mike, my favorites for doing that are Mars, Jupiter and Uranus from The Planets . Terrific CD.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Natalie Merchant's "Carnival" or Grover Washington, Jr.'s "Winelight" works well for me.

Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy". Even if you don't like the music, you've got to appreciate the recording. The strength of the guitar licks and the first strike of the kick drum are amazingly full. And when that great big voice kicks in, it is just hair raising. In this recording, the artist is in the room with you filling it with feeling and soul. Great wow factor.

Wow...I guess there are many a group that I have never heard of before...  I like to listen to lots of things...but Depeche Mode, Sting, Phil Collins, and others appeal to me. DM's 'ULTRA', 'EXCITER', 'VIOLATOR' etc. are all great CD's with lots of great vocals, instruments, and electronic keyboards, etc. Phils' 'In The Air Tonight' is another great song...to listen to...the drum solo is just fantastic. That's my $0.02 worth.

Mark Knopfler's "What it Is" always sounds great. Matter of fact, most anything on Sailing to Philadelphia sounds incredibly detailed. His newest album with Emmylou Harris sounds terrific as well.

"O Mary Don't You Weep", from Bruce Springsteen's latest album "We Shall Overcome, The Seeger Sessions" is very raw and has a great presence. Good percussion, vocals, brass, and honky tonk piano.

Good afternoon all,
I really don't mean for this to be rude but does anyone on this forum listen to something other than mainstream hits from 1970's % 1980's icons?
There is so much good music out there - especially for testing speaker performance.
This isn't meant to be a dig.
