I know theres been older threads about this but I figure why not have an updated list. But I figured since I just got my setup done, Id like to really hear the best out of them.

So what songs do you guys use to show off the highs, lows or anything of your comps?

 
Phil Collins- "in the air tonight", Genesis- "I cant dance". Dire straits-"money for nothin". Eminem-"stan". Kid Rock-"drunk in the morning". Just about anything off the TLC crazy, sexy, cool album:slap:. Eagles- "Hotel California":beathors:. These are just a few that I use to tweek and tune and find the range of the front stage.

 
Soundtracks I've used...

Black Hawk Down

Gladiator

Chariots of Fire (probably one of the best for tweeter staging)

Chronicles of Narnia

Anything John Williams touches...

Individual albums...

Eva Cassidy - Songbird/Live @ Blues Alley

Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

Deanna Bogart - The Great Unknown

Dave Matthews - Some Devil

Chris Izaak - Forever Blue

Allison Krauss & Union Station - Live

Dire Straits - pretty much anything by them, Making Movies, Love over Gold, Sultans of Swing, etc...

Rush - 2112, Moving Pictures

Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom

Just a tiny start there...

 
i dont really like em but this song is great for showing off your speakers...

chimaira - implements of destruction

boondock saints theme isnt bad either

 
another thing - i think a good band to tune your system too is the foo fighters... for some reason if you can get their songs to sound right (learn to fly - monkey wrench - times like these) your speakers will sound good on almost anything...

the way they record seems to draw out flaws in your setup IMO (if any)

ohh and a couple other good songs:

guns and roses - sweet child o'mine

freedy johnston - bad reputation

five for fighting - 100 years

goldfinger - superman

tom petty - free falling (this song is nuts on my system - every instrument seems likes its coming everywhere but from the speakers..)
