Oh, I forgot to mention...
Ravi, have you heard the live Patricia Barber called 'Companion'? Highly recommend that too; sounds absolutely real like they were playing there in your living room. Bass that makes your woofers move further than you could imagine too!

Thanks Ravi and Marc for the tip on Patricia Barber. I just bought the live CD "Companions" and it is great! I'll be getting more from her collection soon.

For something a bit different from the other recommendations, you might try Devin Townsend, either Ocean Machine or Terria. Also, Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater (or any of their other albums, but that's their best), Lateralus by Tool, V - The New Mythology Suite by Symphony X.
And to prove I'm not just a head-banger, how about the new Telarc recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (maybe not the best performance ever, but they sure went all-out and it will give your sound system a serious workout).

I second that about Dream Theater. Scarred from Awake is my personal favorite of theirs for demo material. Intersound's 1812 Overture by the Slovak Philharmonic is fantastic. Topsy (track 4) on Stereophile's Test CD 3 is one of the most open recordings I've heard. A great soundstage and imaging test for any system. Rhapsody in Blue and Carnival of Animals on Fantasia 2000 are also worth cranking.
