One disc that surprisingly sounds good on almost every system is....i'm embarrased to admit this....Madonna's Immaculate Collection.
DVDs actually have the best sound recordings, unfortunately, unless you happen to have a DVD player in your car, the CD player can not read the DVD.
I also concur on Madonna's immaculate collection. Of all her sonds to test a sound system I would have to say "vogue"
It has voices, pounding bass, violins (these are actually one of the most difficult instruments for a speaker to playback, especially when at high notes) and a host of other instruments.
