You know how some movies on TV are letter boxed? Black stripe at top, and bottom of the screen? It's because the person who made the movie refuses to have it shown in a different aspect. The same should go for music. It should be listened to at the volume that the artist originally intended it to be herd. Funk 49 by The James Gang.
Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills
I had that 45 when I was a kid. It's probably kicking around somewhere. I should put it on MP3. How about Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good"?

American Girl Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers
Little Sister Dwight Youkum
Texas Flood Stevie Ray Vaughn
In honor of a fallen hero: Long Time Boston This has to hold the title of the best intro in all of songdome. Don't want to thread drift too much, but the most disappointing intro would have to be held by Allen Parson's Project Eye in the Sky.

Plus everything richlevy said except the Bach. Bach? Bah.
(She's So Dull) I'm Gonna Rip Her to Shreds--Blondie
Ogre Battle Queen
March of the Black Queen Queen
I Need a Lover That Won't Drive Me Crazy John Cougar I've herd a lot of versions of this song, and this is the best by far, and nothing like anything else John Cougar did.
... Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen ...
This is an essential song for "testing" your stereo. The recording is so saturated you can hear the guitar solo clipping, just slightly, right at the whole edge of maximum. This song will run your system through the gamut of performance. That, and I was just gonna say anything by Pantera, especially from Vulgar Display Of Power.
Immigrant Song -- Led Zeppelin
Smoke On The Water -- Deep Purple. The live version -- NOT the Machine Head album one -- off of Made In Japan. The musically smart version of a musically dumb song. Played upbeat, with a much fancier intro.
Re Bach: Joy, that 6/8 version of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, by a one hit wonder called Apollo 100. That one's good enough to bring back.
Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor
Orff's Carmina Burana
Any Pink Floyd up to and including The Wall (after that, just don't bother)
The Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Hocus Pocus by Focus at top volume gets you some strange looks as you drive down the street.
...All of them.
(If it's too loud, you're too old.)
Big Balls; You Shook Me All Night Long, both by AC/DC
FREE BIRD!
Harvester of Sorrow
Master of Puppets
One
For Whom the Bell Tolls
ah F*CK IT! Anything by Metallica (prior to the Black Album that is!!)
Slayer
South of Heaven
Reign in Blood
Sepultura
Orgasmatron
Refuse/Resist
Iron Maiden
Aces High
Two Minutes to Midnight
All trance and trance hardcore.

Back In Black and Hells Bells
Nice of you to offer a sample, rkzen -- but it doesn't seem at all engaging. I think it's as dull as Muzak.

Excellent point. There's a huge difference in
loud and
loud and clear. Another good system tester is Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. From cannon bursts to church bells, it will surely uncover any weaknesses at full volume.
Until it sleeps, Enter Sandman - Metallica (most Metallica should be played very loud.)

Any metal should be played loud.
Fun times going downtown blasting screaming music, the looks are priceless.
Doesn't playing it that loud destroy your ears?
