Default Test track recommendations

I didn't find a thread covering this and this may not be the correct spot for this but hopefully the viewers of this thread will have some suggestions.

I am wondering what sound tracks should be used to test various components of a system. I have seen U571 and Master and Commander used for testing subwoofers as an example. However what about the fronts, center, surround sides, surrounds rear; and the pre/pros themselves?

Dating myself here, but in the early 70s I bought my first stereo at HiFi Associates and the salesman put on Donkey Jaw by America to play it through a set of Advent loudspeakers. It blew me away, felt like the band was right there, etc. I bought the system, Pioneer 626 and pair of Advents. Hearing that same song played on a different system first, made the Advents sound incredible. However I had never heard the song before so I really didn't have a true reference to work from. So with your recommendations on test tracks to use for various components I could expose myself to how they sound from store to store and hopefully learn to recognize the SQ I like. I have DSOTM on SACD that seems to exercise the surrounds nicely, is there even better?
