I generally pick "Red Rain" off Peter Gabriel's SO album. Daniel Lanois produced. The intro alone has such a great build and variety of instruments that I can get a good idea of where the speakers are. Doc

Thats a great song to tune the speaks with.One of my favorite choices.
Also a good go-to is New York Minute from Don Henley's 'End of the Innocence'....
Another is Sting's 'Nothing Like the Sun'...I like 'Be Still My Beating Heart' off that one.

Track 59 from Alan Parsons Soundcheck V2

for me. if one song... Jeff Buckley's "Last goodbye"

to me it depends...
checking rock: some the police/rush/ satriani stuff
pop: tears for fears Sowing the seeds of love, Elemental
