I should've also mentioned Jimi's Electric Ladyland or Axis Bold as Love both these albums not only used all frequencies of the audible sound range but also made very heavy use of just about every studio effect available at the time,especially panning which is a real test of a headphone's performance.

I have friends that used to run a high end stereo store. They played lots of classical to A/B the various amps, crossovers and speaker systems. When someone wanted to hear rock they would use Supertramp's, School, off of Crime of the Century. It has dynamics, definition and separation and you can really hear the speakers working the various parts.
I don't know how well that would translate for headphones, but it's a good song.
