Music to evaluate Speakers and System

I would like to hear about some of the pieces of music or test cd others use to evaluate a system.

I was just intertested in the other types of music/recordings other people are using whether it was for dynamics,imaging,phase,linearity,seperation of instruments,and emotional involvement of the music. Shadorne-Thanks for the Sheffield recommendation as I do not have any of this label. Thanks for all who have responded thus far.

Audiofeil; When people come to your home to audition gear; do you find many people using the same genre of music or are they mixing it up; I was just curious? I like the chesky recordings with their different types of microphone/recording techniques and will check out the one you mentioned. Shadorne; presently hunting for the Sheffield you mentioned as well.
