TOOL

Most anything they released. Their releases are recorded with incredible detail and quality. I use several Tool songs to test systems I put together because their music is recorded so well, yet the abundance of detailed sound borders on chaotic. This brings lesser systems to their knees very quickly and shows equipment flaws right away.

On many music systems, Tool may sound chaotic and distorted. On a high quality music system with good imaging and a wide frequency range, Tool sounds incredibly detailed with a wide soundstage and full depth. Speakers literally disappear and the front of your listening area becomes a stage.

Further evidence that a six pack, an otherwise vacant abode and a volume pot don't neccessarily equal savant levels of musical aestheticism.
