I'll nominate The Graduate by Simon & Garfunkel
 
I grabbed 24/192 release from HD Tracks, and I would just caution that it may not be great without a crossfeed filter/amp (maybe great with).  It's true to the recording, and the sound quality is good, but in headphones the stereo separation is so stark on several songs that it's really strange to listen to.  Often an instrument is completely in one ear while another is completely in another (i.e. guitar in left, bass in right).  Making matters worse, Mrs. Robinson (Reprise) has both singing 100% in the right ear with light guitar strumming in the left.  I'll have to save it for when I'm home on the HeadRoom Triple Stack.
 
 
Does anyone prefer this high-separation sound?
