CD's you bring for auditioning

Do you also have some CD's which you use to audition equipment and which will reveal immediately shortcomings, eg I use

Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea (first couple of tracks can be unbelievable hard to listen to on some equipment

Pink Floyd - DSOTM, checkout the bass, the clocks can sound 'washed' up on some over-tubed systems

Pink Floyd - The Wall , played at loud volume will immediately reveal shortcomings on loudspeakers

and yours...

I tend to take cd's that are lesser engineered cd's than the best engineered cd's, probably unlike most of the ones already mentioned. If the ropey cd's sound musical then, a) the speakers are good, and b)the best engineered cd's will sound awesome without even listening to them.
One cd that springs to mind that I take to shows is Oasis 'D'ya know what I mean'.Its a bit brutal for speakers.
