to impress non-audiophiles, start with what they're familiar with.
3 things in particular:
Rolling Stones: Cant You Hear Me Knocking off their reissue CD. incredible sonics, same reason as below.
Guns & Roses: Patience (was miked as a live session w/ band in one room, and it morphs from a familiar tune on the radio into a mind blowing performance of a great band)
(though i like "You're Crazy" off G&R Lies MUCH better. absolutely amazing, and their peak as a band. and damn near the best R&R i've heard since ...?)
U2: In a Little While off "all you cant leave behind". their best sonics on a track, with a band everyone knows.
shout out to Low "Silver Rider" off Great Destroyer...check it out if you want to hear what it sounds like when God starts talking to you...
needless to say, play it as loud as possible. good systems should do that without distortion, which is what makes them good systems.
