Any old classical songs like mozart and beethoven have excelent SQ. Some eagles songs are pretty good, as well as linkin park because of all the different sounds they have in their music. When checking SQ, anything but the actual cd or 320kb is worthless even looking at.

Also....I found that The Offspring has some great recorded albums...... I don't mean the talent...just the quality of the recording on like "smash" or "americana" ....can tell they spent the $$ in gettin a top notch recordin studio.

[DOHCDX 10+ year member]

my recommendations:

anything by Slipknot (layers of precussion)

anything from Linkin park

Starflyer 59 - Le Vainqueuer (noise rock)

No Doubt - Hella good (hushed vocals and distinct midbass line)

Adema - The way you like it (high pitch guitar line)

Deftones - digital bath (lots of hushed programming fill)

Fold Zandura - Please believe (clean flute lead, smooth rhythm)

Mansun - Negative or Legacy (layered/hushed vocals, PERFECTLY balanced and clean recording)

Chic Corea's album "Eye of the Beholder." Definately the best analog SQ CD you can buy. It's amazing, flat-out amazing.

In IASCA, they use the official IASCA competition CD for that year...

In USACi, they use the official USACi competition CD for that year...

You'll find a lot of various jazz, instrumental, and some rock on them.

The eagles' live version of hotel california is a popular one for USACi... IASCA doesn't use much of anything mainstream, so I could mention some tracks, but they'd likely never connect with anything...

Telarc has a hand in making a lot of clean recordings, they take their mastering very seriously.

Things I use for regular listening that are recorded above the standard:

CD's by the artists:

Jack Johnson

Crash Test Dummies

Eagles

Fleetwood Mac

Amanda Marshall

Eric clapton and BB King's "Riding with the king"

Eric Clapton

John Lee Hooker

Rush

I have more, and I could be specific, but the list gets really long...
