Ok, not actually listening right now, but as soon as I have my system set back up, I'm playing these two songs first to test the setup in stereo mode. They've been my go-to samples to test speakers/ sound for years. I love Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" front to back and always have, but "Tripe Face Boogie" starting at around 1:53 (with that synthesizer) somehow tells me everything I need to know about the speakers and setup.

Re. my second choice - I'm more of a Genesis-with-Gabriel fan (with Gabriel, they are actually my favorite group and Gabriel's first four albums and "Plays Live" are some of my favorites. But this song, "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" - from the jump, with those drums, played at *high* volume - is also so revealing to me.
Hopefully, within the next week or so, I'll have everything set up and will be listening closely to them...
