Recommended for car only Recordings list

65.47.92.142

Since so many of us insist that we have recordings that sound bad on our home stereos but sound much better in our cars let's help others out by compiling a list of such recordings.
Let's make a list of recordings that sound bad on our hifi's but sound good in our cars!
Lets call our list the Auto Only Recommended Recordings list.
Remember these have to be recordings that sound bad on our home stereo but good in our cars. My stereo isn't good enough to ever sound worse than my car stereo so I can't help much. As I'm always interested in getting a better system I can use recordings in this list as demo recordings for home hifi - like, you know, if they sound good on the stereo it must suck kind of thing.
Thanks in advance!
PS - Please note your system so those of us who've got systems that sound good on these recordings will know what gear we need in order to get the worse than car stereo sound you are getting.
Thanks again!

Give me rhythm or give me death!
