The Real Thing, by Faith No More.
Mike Pattons vocal range is second to none.

I'm kinda partial to Kid A, but I cut my teeth on OK. At one time, I could "play" through the album. Minus the crazy Johnny wack outs and the effects. Really, I could play stripped down rhythm... It doesn't sound like such an accomplishment now that I put it that way.

Love me some Steely Dan especially Do It Again.
Check out Chaka Khan and Rufus You Got the Love. Fuck me, that killer bass!
Also anything featuring the Philly sound is deadly.

this recording is a great test of a speaker's resolution. the castanet has audio subtleties that are lost in the fuzz of shitty speakers. two-channel, one take in a large cathedral.

Was just listening to Far Beyond Driven by Pantera. That sounds badass on a good system.

Ok, anything sung by Ella Fitzgerald. My little office speaker just didn’t cut it today, I noticed.

Hell Yeah! Wait, the wrong band. Yes, that one sounds amazing. Terry Date has produced some insanely great-sounding albums.

Jazz?
you need to test your speakers with a singular voice.
As a suggestion:

As a suggestion:
- Miles Davis' "Blue in Green"
- Bill Evan's "I Love you Porgy." BYW, Scott LaFaro on bass.
I have a pair of Polk towers in the garage. They work fine for a location with no acoustically redeeming qualities other than a concrete floor.

it is no surprise that a bose owner would "deflect" on the topic of speaker resolution.

I thought you'd enjoy that.
I have Polks as the mains in my home theatre, so I hear you (and them).
But you'll not likely see a pair of polks holding court from the ceiling of a crowded nightclub.
You'll see a lot of 901's though.
