I recommend using recordings of live, unamplified music and voice as they are ultimately the most demanding. While I listen to recordings of popular music that is largely electronic, I don't use them for this purpose since their sound is as much affected by a host of electronic devices along the way.

Likewise, I find that soundtracks of helicopters blowing up to not be much help either.
