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)

Well, that added nothing to the conversation. ha ha

@bigtwin, what I think he is saying is that you don't want to go down that slippery slope where you are only listening to excellent recordings of not-so-great music. I think a lot of new comers to this hobby fall into that trap and lose sight of what's important. Sure, we would like for all of our recordings to be "audiophile grade". But it's just not going to be that way.

I would rather have recommendations about great music and let the chips fall where they may regarding the recording. 

But this is your thread, so carry on.......
