I'm late into this conversation, but I second Dream Theater with my Grado SR-80's. Dream Theater just kicks ass no matter what cans/speakers you're using (the song Change Of Seasons KICKS ASS!!!)

 

[Qadn]

A list of decent albums:

Dream Theatre: Awake
Apocalyptica: Inquisition Symphony
Sonata Artica: Ecliptica
Any good classical recording.

Definetely. I used to listen to that album all the time before I got into Hi-Fi but I gave it a spin the other day and really appreciated the recording quality. Definetely better than the latter albums, BOLA and Renegades are far too "hot" sounding.

Any Dream Theater album/song sounds fantastic with headphones.

Diana Krall -The Look Of Love
Clapton Unplugged
Nightwish - Once
Dire Straits - Brother In Arms
Acoustic Alchemy - The Beautiful Game
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor

I'm too lazy to select individual songs, hence the album titles.

 

[Salt Peanuts]

I've been enjoying my PS3K's with AKUS and Diana Krall, especially AKUS's Live album.

Eh, the songs that make me go WOW are usually part of a complete WOW album.

HD 595s btw

Peter Gabriel - US (listening right now)
Jeff Buckley - Sketches For My Sweetheart (the drunk) disc 1
Nellie McKay - Get Away From Me
Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Just songs:
Elliott Smith - Coast to Coast
Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother

All I can think of right now.

EDIT: double post

 

[Kram Sacul]

Filter and the Crystal Method - (Can't You) Trip Like I Do
Michael Jackson - Speed Demon
Basement Jaxx - Plug it In
A Perfect Circle - Counting Bodies to the Rythem of the War Drum

Someone else mentioned Madonna's Music. Good bass on that track.

 

[K.Ashwood]

Will post some more latter but for sure Rush=2112!

Keith

 

[Patu]

Michael Jackson's HIStory and Madonna's The Immaculate Collection.

These two albums have just so deep and crystal clear sound that it's always like woooow.

 

[Greisen]

For my Grados

Abums:

Eric Clapton: Unplugged
Sting: Sacred Love
Lisa Ekdahl: Lisa Ekdahl (Swedish)

 

[Dentomat]

Nine Inch Nails "Pretty Hate Machine" (the whole album). On HD 650s.
Impressive bass impulses and details. And a genre classic but admittedly not everybody´s everyday listening.
