I would love to hear what classical pieces people always use to test new headphones etc, Mine was always Karajans 1962 Beethoven cycle, until my equipment got better and I could hear how old the recording was!
My current faves are Elliott Carter's Symphonia (the only recording) and Birtwistle's Earth Dances (Boulez) both pieces are huge and dynamic especially Earth Dances, there is sooo much going on with all of the intricate percussion and when the huge timpani rumbles, great for testing bass.
