Top 3 songs to evaluate a system

Hi everyone,

So here is the question: what are your Top 3 music pieces to evaluate a system?

The songs should be complementary to cover a wider range of features, but not necessary. If you only listen to one type of music, it would make sense to only evaluate with this type.

Bonus: identify one good part of the piece where you pay extra attention because this is where the difference between systems is more visible.

I'll start:

Holly Cole Trio - Girl Talk - My Baby Just Cares For Me
Highlight: The vibrating cord at 1:59

MaMuse - All The Way - Glorious
Highlight - The clean guitar and the high drum beat that rythm the whole piece

Metallica - ... And Justice for All (Remastered) - One
Highlight - The first drums at 0:53, but the whole guitar as well


Doing this myself, I realize it's very hard to only pick 3!!

I believe that music that I am really familiar with is the best way to test.

So I use:

CCR- Green River 24/192 hz. With this track that I have played 1000+ times I look for the rhythm guitar of Tom Fogerty in the top left of center and its clarity.

Linda Ronstadt- Blue Bayou 24-96hz. With this track along with the beauty of her vocal I listen for the little Spanish guitar clarity on the left channel about 30-60+ seconds in.

And Finally.
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours 24-96hz.. I listen to the depth and sound of Stevie’s vocal and the side background singing of Steve in the left channel. Sometimes it can be a little distorted and bright. Also the bass and the whack of the drums can be impressive.
