Best Song for Premium Audio?

[1.21GW]

The premium audio system is one of the best on the market. What songs, in your opinion, show off the capabilities of this system the best?

Explain why

Here are my picks:

Drake - Nonstop: Its continuous powerful bass without distorting the vocals

Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock: Complex midrange that shows the clarity of this system at high volumes. In lower quality systems, this song can easily get distorted.

i feel like this hits pretty hard without too much symbalance

Pink Floyd - "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon Great Drum solo, great Guitar, clarity on the premium sound is amazing.....TURN IT UP!!!

Going with the first song that surprised me with great bass and sound: Outkast - Rosa Parks

Hotel California (Hell Freezes Over tour)

otherwise, @bigroccrek nails it. I listen to the entire album edge-to-edge. If I can pick out Clare Torry’s whispers, the sound system passes.

Cannonball - Supertramp

Nice bass line throughout. Sharp attacks on the keyboard notes. Echoing of the snapping fingers. I have the album version on my flash drive in the car.

Most anything from Steely Dan. They were such perfectionists on the production. But one that got away from them...

Time Out Of Mind - Steely Dan

Once you hear that dropout (@1:20), you can never un-hear it.

Dire Straits Money for Nothing. One of the best, if not the best, for testing out audio quality. Not necessarily the "best" song to listen to, but it is a commonly used and fantastic reference track.

Watch "Dire Straits - Money For Nothing" on YouTube

Sorry don't know how to imbed!

Great thread. I’ll toss out something more obscure that really shows off the system. Anything sounds good! We love cranking the music in this car

If you want something electronic. This is a brutal gauntlet for audio systems.

And this one is kind of wild too

The beginning of this song sounds incredible in the 3.

Also I feel like @Kevy Baby should weigh in.

 

[Jrzapata]

Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody

Tool sounds AMAZING in my Model 3, because, well... TOOL!

I’m still waiting for my M3 but this will be the first thing I play. I bet “Chocolate Chip Trip” is just crushing. Danny Carey is a monster drummer.

Frozen by Madonna,great production value like all her music. Big sound stage.

did Tesla somehow lower the bitrate of spotify? I have add premium account and it seem the quality differs quite a bit, even I changed the music quality setting to the highest

On a similar topic, I’ve never been thrilled with my EQ settings, no matter how much I try. Anyone want to share a shot of theirs?
And yes, I know it depends on the music, but in general...

IIRC, the bitrate using the Tesla app is in fact lower than streaming it from your phone to your Tesla.
