Not headphones. Still: Radius HP-TWF21 + Skrillex's Ruffneck (FULL FLEX). Also, classical music sounds absolutely amazing on the Sennhesier HD650's. Artists like Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are two very good examples of this.

Man a lot of people here have good taste, it makes me more comfortable taking suggestions for new gear =P

I just bought m80's and here are a few albums that wow'd me-

Anything Dream Theater really
Triple Concerto - Choral Fantasy (yoyo ma, perlman, brandboim)
Steve Vai- Real Illusions Reflections
The Aristocrats - The Aristocrats, first song especially
Paul Gilbert- Get Out of My Yard
the LOTR Fellowship OST, check out "The Breaking of the Fellowship" I love that song, but I played it in the philharmonic orch here so it is nostalgic

Beethoven's 7th 2nd movement
 
And most classical on my hd598s... They do amazingly well for classical music.  I'd like to get another pair for techno / pop / classic rock though.  I have k540s but they're sub-par to the hd598s in all genres, although I do like AKG.  I think I'll be going with beyers next for the bass in pop / techno songs.

For Bassheads:
 
Spor - Pacifica (Chasing Shadows Remix)
 
Feed Me - Muscle Rollers
 
Feed Me - Cott's Face
 
Kryder - K2
 
All sound excellent with my DT770 Pro-80 with Beyerdynamic leather earpads, running out of my iPhone 4 and FiiO E7.

You, sir, got me check out Pendulum, and am now a fan! I've been loving the album In Silico, especially the second half!

Speaking of video game music, the theme for Lost Odyssey (with vocals). Nobuo Uematsu (of Final Fantasy fame) can really make some great compositions!

What format are you running Beethoven in? I'm interested to see what it would sound like in lossy vs lossless.

Tom Waits's Bone Machine album sounds fantastic on my PROline 750's. It's like the whole album was mastered with Ultrasone headphones in mind.

B2 - Hotel California (live) from Hell Freezes Over
 
TF10 - Be Your Sound (Cosmic Gate)
 
Hippo VB - A Milli (Lil' Wayne) -- this song showcase how good VB's clean sub bass, without any bleed, the bass rumbles deep while the rap is clean
