I don't know about WOW but I like these on my headphones, this week. Next week the list will be different. To me that’s the whole point. :)
 
John Coltrane and Miles Davis: various tracks from Blue Trane and Kind of Blue, in particular Sunny’s Crib (on Blue Trane).
 
P.I.L.: Flowers of Romance – this puts the hooks in me every time I hear it
 
Underworld: Born Slippy – very good UK stuff
 
Kraftwerk: The Man Machine - WAY ahead of its time in 1978 and even now in some ways
 
The Decca recording of Il Barbiere di Savigilia – I love this for no real reason (I love opera in general)
 
Mozart's Requiem – scary how moody and dark this is, incredible (see Sostakoivch for even darker lol)l
 
Various tracks with Grace Slick and Janis Joplin vocals – yup, WOW
 
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon – OK stuff but 'safe for the suburbs' lol
 
Capella Romana: The Devine (Orthodox) Liturgy in English – male vocals at their best - AMAZING
 
Beastie Boys: The Mix Up – very nice instrumental stuff

I listened to DJ Billy E - Beats 4 My Van on my Ultrasone HFI-780s the other day at 75% of the volume... 5 mins after the end of the song I could still feel my ears and upper cheeks tingle...
 
Defenitely not one of my fav songs btw, was just curious how it would sound on my headphone and I was pleasantly shocked. I was fun, but just for once.

ANY song in Streetlight Manifesto's Everything Goes Numb. Their songs are so intricate that even though I've listened to the album hundreds of times (my favorite band of all time), I still notice new sounds when I play it with my HD600's.
