Most MUSE can be pretty amazing on the right setup.
Namely, all three parts of the Exogenesis Symphony--this can either be tear-inducing or headache-causing--such a complex and wildly varying piece of music. I think it will tell you a lot about your system.
Madness is a song that sounds very cool through any decent set of cans.
Some other favorites through the headphones (in no particular order):
Holocene - Bon Iver - just plain sublime...
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots PT. 2 - Flaming Lips - may induce joyful vomiting...
Most Radiohead - too much will leave you in a depressed state...but it may be worth it
Most Air - warning: too much and you might find yourself enjoying Muzak--and we don't want that to happen...
Most Massive Attack - Atlas Air would be among the top along with Rush Minute
Daft Punk - Get Lucky (kind of annoying song but it sounds sweet through a quality setup) also End of Line (from Tron) - this sounds SO cool through a high quality system
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing and Sultans of Swing - Mark Knopfler's guitar work pretty much always sounds amazing through good headphones--kind of like David Gilmour
Loreena McKennitt - Snow - Gorgeous piece of music
Any Norah Jones from her first couple albums - voice that makes you melt...
Everything about this song is perfect on good headphones.
from the snare hits in the beginning to the bass line on your left side and the haunting violins
