Here's mine:
Buggles: I Am A Camera. Good proof for an early digital recording (short on bass). Tchaikovsky; Nutcracker Suite: Arabian Dance, and March (Neville Marriner, Academy of St Martin In The Fields). This DDD classical recording has so much dynamic range it will challenge just about any rig - and the early-digital-recording artifacts (music sheets rustling, chairs creaking etc) are excellent proofs for sensitivity Everything But The Girl: Talk To Me Like The Sea. Excellent for soundstage/separation testing. Everything But The Girl: Lullaby of Clubland: for mid and bass tests; this track is everything I Am A Camera isn't. Chris Botti: Indian Summer: good for mids and highs testing. Liane Foly: Les Parfums d'Autrefois. Great vocal from an amazing singer. Julia Fordham: Where Does The Time Go? Ditto. Clannad: Coinleach Ghlas An Fhomhair: excellent acoustic recording, with significant dynamic subtlety. Howard Jones: New Song. Jones' hard-edged synths should sparkle with the right set of cans. Ultravox: All Stood Still. Good for all-around wall-of-sound performance checks.
There's more of course but this would be a good place to start.
