These days, I usually play my Steely Dan Gaucho DTS 5.1 CD when demo-ing my system for guests. Especially the title track...the sax just leaps out of the speakers and wraps around your head like sonic cellophane.

I made a disc out of a few well-recorded tracks, to use as a system demo. I can only remember a few tracks, but The Eagle "Hotel Califonia" live acoustic track, Sting's "Fragile" and Mark Knopfler's "Speedway in Nazareth" are standouts. That Norah Jones disc and all of Annie Lennox's discs are great for female vox.

Dave's right about that Gabriel remaster. Probably the best remastering job I've heard so far.
