Hello Micah,

The bands/composers that I would pick out of that list that generally have good recordings (not sure on the albums you own) is Bach, Beethoven, Pink Floyd, Dave Matthews, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam (Yield) is decent. I don't listen to country so I am not sure on those. If you want to know what compression will sound like on Axioms you can choose something like Metallica: Death Magnetic, Oasis: What’s The Story Morning Glory?, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication. The engineers and producers butchered those albums (noticeable distortion and digital clipping).

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
