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!!

Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra (this is not a joke, if you don't know!) Capitol Sessions album - "It Never Entered My Mind."  Till Bronner's flugelhorn for tonality. 

Pat Metheny "Secret Story" cut on album of same name for piano, and also for deep bass response from organ, well below lowest string on a bass.  

David Bowie "Let's Dance" Album, any cuts, to see how the speaker handles a recording with a bit of harshness in the treble.  Or "Let it Bleed" from the Stones same purpose.
