Bohemian Rhapsody to make sure the various speakers are working/test surround sound.

I hate this song, but an "expert" once told me it was the best to hear bass/treb/mid....and make sure you are "clean"...Mr. Roboto. After several purchases, I would have to agree.

[joneo 529]

Life's Been Good (to me so far. My Maserati does one-eighty-five. I lost my license and now I don't drive.) Joe Walsh. The intro is kick-ass.

 

Shook Me All Night Long AC/DC

There is only one song that comes to mind when this question is asked:

 

"Hot for the Teacher" -Van Halen

[cgod 0]

Not so much a song but that THX intro. That's always good for a test of the systems range and richness of sound.

[UncleHulka 0]

For movies for home surround system, the DDay scene in Shaving Ryan's Privates is still hard to beat. For music, La Mer from the live NIN dvd will give your sub/subs a very hard workout.

[shovelheadt 62]

Exactly. It's not about songs that rock, it's about songs that have good clean riffs in them. I remember testing with Tough Enough by the Fabulous Thunderbirds in the past.

[gratefulted 14]

Mississippi Queen - Mountain

Hair of the Dog - Nazareth

Open Invatation - Santana

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Get the Led Out - Aerosmith

Emotion Detector-Rush(Guitar Solo)

Expresso Love-Dire Straits(beginning guitar riff)

Burning My Soul-Dream Theather(beginning bassline-keyboards throughout)

La Villa Strangiato-Rush(intro-keyboards-"crispness" of drums throughout)

Nuns Have No Fun....just so I can hear and see the reaction to

Nice choice. If I want to flip people out, I usually go for Mindless Self Indulgence's

[Recidivist 1]

Duran Duran "Rio"

 

It has that kickass Chic/disco bass line and the appregiator effect on the synth maxes out the mids & highs.

[SUXBNME 1,340]

There is no such thing as a factory "system". HTH

 

also, try this for testing. All classical, but a good barometer to judge where / how you might want to make some upgrades in your system.

Whole Lotta Love by Zep. If that don't rattle it, nothing will.

[peenie 1,690]

i can't believe i've got to school you punks on how to test your speakers!
