What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?

A few that came to mind:

• Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
• Corazon Espinado - Santana
• Just Like You - Keb' Mo'
• Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
• Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Some great suggestions here!  I usually have a few selections that I think sound really good on my system (Philip Glass selections, Michael Jackson, etc) but if I know that persons personal tastes I play something they know well.  That’s when it gets interesting.    My granddaughter likes 21 Pilots.  One friend loves Queen.  Another likes female torch song vocals.  They each sit in my chair and I play what they like.  The usual comments when I play a song they know very well, “Wow! What a great system!  I’ve never heard this song sound better”.
 

Mission accomplished. 

Delayed response...

First, the guy asked what selections do you play.  Just list the songs you feel show your rigs capabilities and stop with the lack of "emotional connection"

I went through most of the posts and listened for songs that made my system come alive.  That's the fun of the forum; to discover music and equipment that enhance your experience.

That said, while listening to recommendations, I came across this outstanding piece that will test the dynamics of your rig.  Truly spectacular.  Needless to say, I had an emotional connection!

Mazeppa, Act I: Gopak from  Eiji Oue - Minnesota Orchestra  - Album: Exotic Dances from the Opera

Others I like:

Man in a long black coat - Bob Dylan

Rider on the Storm - The Doors

Apoleipein - Metaz Descendez 

Happiest Days > Another Brick 2 - Pink Floyd

Then they can play what they want!

I play AL B, Sure Nite and Day. Very dynamic sounding record.
