you'll have to give us some idea of what kind of music you like first!

What I am looking for I think is a song with excellent recording quality but at the same time a bit of a rock anthem them will want me to put petal to metal! Something that will showcase the logic7 sound. I thought the Hotel Califirnia suggestion was good. Someone else suggested it needed to be something live, so in a rock and roill vein I would maybe steer to a Dave Matthews number like Crash (bad omen).
As a complete alternative, I could also see an epic classical number - Holst's "The Planets" or the like.

I like everything really - except jazz.

I would guess if you'll have just picked up the car new, you won't be thrashing it!
assuming youll be taking an enjoyable relaxing ride, I recommend massive attack - teardrop
if you fancy thrashing it, then feeder - just a day (used on the euro intro screen for gran turismo 3 on ps2)

It really doesn't matter what style of music you play, if the recording quality isn't good.... it will sound like crap.
I would suggest staying away from current, popular music. One of the unfortunate realities of the music industry is that, as the years have gone by.... the quality of music recording, in general, has declined.
You are more likely to find a well recorded CD from the late 1980s or early 1990s than anything current.
Back then, recording engineers were just better. They took time and care to record well, and master properly. And record companies did not interfere with the mastering process like they do today.
Try looking for some good jazz CDs produced during the early 1990s. That, or anything instrumental that might be similar.
Classical music is always an excellent way to test the quality of a good stereo, but the listener really has to know what to listen for to understand it. Plus, these recordings typically have a lot of reverb and other characteristics of the room where it was recorded.
But..... the first CD I play on any stereo of mine is:
Best mixed compilation, ever.
The sound quality is also superb.

Pink Floyd's "What Do You Want From Me," from Division Bell, seems to hit a broad range of notes.
Going towards the classics, I enjoy Ariel Ramirez: Misa Criolla as sung by Jose Carreras in the Philips recording when played through Logic 7 on my 525i.

DVD? Cant beat a live show! I saw it 2 years back in NY. It was awesome! But PVC pipes on L7? That cant sound good... J/K its awesome! I love their soundtrack!
They move to a different theater in Berlin next year and will have a second theater in Oberhausen this fall, so they have two difefrent locations in Germany.
