2112 (Temples of Syrinx) from Rush. The beginning of the song that has the weird spaceship sound just sounds Great, and then Neil Pert........well I don't have to say anything about him, because he's just in a league of his own! Getty Lee will help you check your highs too!

Im a big Rush fan too. Only thing about Rush is that they seem to scale back their low end sounds when producing an album. I constantly have to increase the low bass when I play any Rush song. Which is sort of strange, since Getty is a bass player?!?

Thanks for adding onto the list! Ive check out some of the tunes listed by other forum members, and have liked what I have heard! And ive even added their suggestions to my 4 gig MP3 collection

I'd figure the Bee Gees would have been his #1 choice

The Eagle's live version of Hotel California off of the IASCA test CD checks out image and staging very well

Everyone missed the best one...

Lil Jon - Bia Bia ......... and the best part of that song is Ludacris' verse... Very low bass, if it sounds good, you know you have a good setup.... Everyone should test out their systems with that song.

Tchiakovski is supposed to be really great to test full range system for sq.

Jesse Cook- 'virtue' (great full range)
Lenny Kravitz- 'live' (even makes stock bose sound good)
Tool- 'lateralus' (well...it's tool...i had to have one song from them)
yanni- 'tribute' (yeah yeah yeah...i have no defence for this one)
Groove Armada- 'Suntoucher' (for the bass)

Mannhiem Steamroller - Pat a Pan
Mannheim Steamroller - Angels We Have Heard on High (mids)
Flashdance - What a Feeling (Bass, still can't shake those old sound competition memories)
Metallica - Unforgiven (mid bass, on the pre chorus when Lars does the slow roll on the toms. Each one sounds deeper and more powerful, or at least should)
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 1 (Dynamics. The whole song is a masterpiece but at 5:25 into the song there is a part where the snare drum hit is just amazing with the right power)

I know this isnt a new tune or anything, but one of the funniest things ive seen was at one of the Waco Autorama's (circa 1996) and Jacks car stereo's van was in the soundoff downstairs in the convention center (which soundoffs inside a building, with a 8ft ceiling are hillarious anyways). anywho, I was friends with one of the guys who worked there, so we got in their test van, which had like 15 M&M Godfather 15" subs in it, and we were playing Madonna "VOGUE" while the roof of the van was getting about 3" of deflection. I couldnt do anything else but hold my hands over my ears and laugh. I personally HATE Madonna in the first place, but all I could do is laugh as if I needed plastic surgery to fix my face.

PS. Manheimmer is pretty good to test your system. So is Telarc. They're pretty rough on any system.

I have a buddy that has composed some music that has increadible bass lines to it. The songs are really great too. I'll see if he'll let me post his music for download.
