MJ, Lionel Richie, Genuine Pony, Future for bass, Bieber for vocals...Rihanna too, Trap music for highs. I normally tune my bike to about 5 or 6 different genres of music. I've been at shows where the judge tells both bikes to play a song with vocals to break the tie and then it's clear cut winner when they have to play something other than what the bike was tuned too. This stuff isn't easy!!!

It's Pony by Ginuwine and The Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran. These 2 will cover a wide range.

I've been using Men Without Hats for loudness, KD Lang for vocals, and Fresh Prince "Boom shake the room" for bass.

Actually the dudes down at a local audio shop that does waaaaaay high end car audio stuff uses Micheal Jackson Gold (no clue where they got it) music for all their tuning. Apparently this "gold" stuff produced in his Santa Barbara production studio was beyond extreme regarding sound quality.

Sounds really damn killer!!!!!

If you want to borrow from the high-end audiophile crowd this is what we used for years at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. This was my collaboration and it ruffled a lot of feathers by weeding out the hyperbole coming from a lot of the boutique shops and big guys alike. These tracks (if you find the right ones) are regarded as some of the best recordings and most challenging to reproduce.

I usually use Sheffield Labs, Prime Cuts cd, the best sounding cd I have ever heard...period...well produced and clean. I also use Bruce Hornsby's Harbor Lights cd, with Rainbow's Cadillac again well produced and clean like a MF'er! Since i listen to rock mostly, I tune to Van Halens, Best of both Worlds remastered, great mid bass, clean and well produced!

I believe most of his music was recorded by Sony which has top notch studios,probably the best.
