For me, it's Tin Pan Alley (SRV) . The mixing is excellent and the guitar is just sublime.

Superstition
Starts out with a clear opportunity to examine your highs and tight drum notes, then drops into the clavinet and bass for lower notes. Vocals are also very clean. Plus it's a fricking awesome song.

John Butler Trio - Better Than
Has a great mix of highs, mids and lows to allow accuracy of discerning the sounds. There's some great strumming in there that is very difficult to hear without accurate mids. I used this 8 years ago when testing for my speakers, and ultimately I settled on the paradigm reference studio 60 v5. For my price range these speakers made this song really shine, and comparing it to other speakers I noticed just how much I missed hearing it.

I've also found that Cross Eyed Mary is fantastic for giving a whole system a work out

A good woofer torture test is Ozric Tentacles - Spyroid.

Steely Dan - Gaucho
Reportedly one of the most grueling studio recordings of all time. Took 2 years to record with 42 different musicians. Steely Dan was crazy in trying to find a specific sound, and the mixing on the albums is always crazy good.This is the most perfectionist album of one of the most perfectionist bands of all time.
And it's just a badass album

Gaucho is indeed an awesome album.
My go to Steely Dan track is Gaslighting Abbie from Two Against Nature
