What are some good music tunes to fully immerse yourself into music and really show off your cans? I don't care what genre of music, but just looking for something to come back and say "wow that was amazing". Right now, I'm using Beyer DT-990 600ohm powered by an STX. Maybe some upbeat jazz? Any input would be helpful.

Live recordings. One time I was listening to my alphabetically arranged music, Joe Walsh's 'Life's Been Good' then followed by Joey Ramone's 'What A Wonderful World' live, when Joey said 'and its a wonderful world', I thought it was somebody behind me so I turned around.

Better yet... just play Yes/Fragile from start to finish. LOL

Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Specifically, the song Jesus, etc.

Other tracks I like for that purpose:
Fleetwood Mac- Dreams
Coheed and Cambria- Mother May I
Porcupine Tree- Lazarus
Fiona Apple- Valentine
Kishi Bashi- Haha pt. 1
Death Cab for Cutie- Marching Bands of Manhattan
