Well, it's not really a song, it's a whole album that makes my Grado RS-1 (with flat pads) WOW:

Cuban Heels - "Gutbucket Music" - Check it out on myspace.

That's what I said with my Grado SR60s :). Speaking of Buddy Guy, his "Sweet Tea" album sounds like a killer through both Grado SR60 and (even more) RS-1. Have you heard it Gotthilf?

The Great Lake Swimmers self titled album is sweet all the way through. It was actually recorded in an old silo and you hear crickets and such in the background.

Electronic Battle Weapon 03 from the recent Chemical Brothers Brotherhood 2CD set. The bass goes really really really low. Nowhere near thumping bass, I'm talking about low low low register frequencies. It's pretty challenging for headphones and earphones so if your phones are deficient in the lower registers, you will definitely be able to tell. High and mid ranges are relatively easy to test for as most albums like to play around the mid and highs but controlled bass frequencies, this is one excellent track to test that out with.
