Garbage In - Garbage Out


Been reading a tremendous amount of information and opinion on what makes up a great stereo system, and all the ways to improve the sound.  Seems we give little attention to the music going into the system.  There are certain tracks that just make my stereo come alive.  I think yeah, that's where the money went!  Other tracks are limp.  Since some music sounds terrific, the not so much stuff can't be the fault of my equipment, but must be the recording itself.  So many recordings suffer from poor engineering, mixing, pressing etc....  I would be interested to hear what your favorite tracks are when you really want to show what your system is capable off.  Limit of two selections?  Artist - Album - Track.  Like:
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way - Shhh/Peaceful  (Side One)
Grant Green - Idle Moments - Idle Moments (Title Track)

The point of the question is clear.

Looking for a Home - Keith Greeniger and Dayan Kai
Recat -- Max Lodebauer/Ricardo Villalobos

Special mention: Shelby Lynne, Little Bit of Lovin'

I listen both to my hifi and the music. Because I'm an audiophile, I love sound as well as music. There's no tension for me between these kinds of listening. (Also, I like many other arrangements of sounds and symbols: dramas and comedies, puzzles and poems, art and math.)
