Best songs to appreciate wide soundstage

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

As the title says, looking for some songs with great separation and production to really appreciate the wider soundstage of my headphones.

 

Example: David Bowie(Space Oddity)  and Bjork(Hunter)

Binaural sound is best for testing accuracy of headphones.

Hotel California is even more epic with good headphones

 

And there is a funny barber shop surround demo on youtube somewhere

Hold the line is a great one, and also if you are looking for good quality audio streaming service check out TIDAL, its not cheap, but the quality improvement is great.

Some good picks but this is untrue, unless you have golden ears and a perfect listening system phase inversion analysis and blind AB comparisons tell us that MP3 files at 320kbps are functionally identical to FLAC of any bitrate (The FL in FLAC stands for fully lossless after all).

You want wide?, I'll give you wide, after your bog standard Pink Floyd picks we get into the electronic music genre where Exyl probably has the W I D E S T sound I've heard in a while. MOAI, PING and Nice Logo come to mind. INZO has some nice vibes similarly.

You really have to go to older recordings before normalization became a thing.  That said, there's no one genre/artist/ song that is going to give you a complete picture.  Try going for a mix that is all over the place.

 

Autograph - Turn up the Radio

Def Leppard - Rocket / Makin love like a man

Shirobon - Ralf's Touch /Cyber Party

Abney Park - Scheherazade

Indigenous - C'mon Suzy

Queen - Princes of the Universe

SoR2-OST - Under Logic

John Phillip Sousa - US Field Artillery March

Skrillex - Bangarang

Avicii vs. Lenny Kravitz - Superlove

Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Mozart - Ladyboy

To be fair most of Skrillex is well produced
