I have SUB configured with two PLAY:1's in a stereo pair and was wondering what everyones favourite songs are that you think really brings out the best of SUB and the wonderful stereo imaging that the PLAY:1's provide!
I'd be keen to hear any kind of music and really want to bring out the most of my system with a wide variety of tracks!

Let me add Partition by Beyonce to the mix. Give the song 15 seconds (after she says hey Mrs. Carter) and your speakers will explode. Every SONOS speaker sounds ridiculous with his song.
Well, I still don't have a Sub, but what about Sympathy from Steve Rowland & Family Dog for some serious bass? Sounds pretty low on my Stereo Gen 1 Play 5s already. Hmmm, Iron Sky from Paolo Nutini wouldn't be that bad either.

Nice suggestions Hermie. I've enjoyed what Paolo Nutini I've heard.
For jazz lovers, two legends that seem to have been around forever - Houston Person and Ron Carter - have just released a new album, Chemistry. Every track has enough content for the Sub from Carter's double bass playing, while the album itself is very well recorded from a stereo imaging and sound quality POV. Laid back music, but far from elevator style. Best heard late at night over a drink or three.
I haven't seen these two mentioned:
On My Level feat. Too $hort by Wiz Khalifa
Bad and Boujee (feat Lil Uzi Vert) by Migos
"On My Level" hits hard in my car but I think the bass messes with the treble and garbles his voice. On my Play:5 gen 2 and Sub, it's very clean and absolute bass.
This is a great thread. I've had some fun comparing some of these suggestions with my Play5s (2nd Gen) and Sub. Thanks for everyone input. But the ultimate track for me is one my son recommended. Not exactly my kind of music, but its growing on me (I love it for showing off my setup . Try: Infected Mushroom - Demons of Pain Remix. And give the volume a push. Its mind-blowing with my setup. Now addicted to Sonos
"Hold me by the waist" by George Maple, turn it up at 1:23 and then you know you have a SUB. Also check out HERO by George Maple, awesome song when played loud!
Great suggestions! I’d like to also suggest the following:
Hey Now (by London Grammar)
Toccata (by Mannheim Steamroller / album: Fresh Aire III) - This one is a bit old school, but worth it, especially if you have the sub.
Unfinished Sympathy (by Massive Attack)
Angel (by Massive Attack)
A Milli (by Lil Wayne)
The National Anthem (by Radiohead)
Act Like You Know (by Fat Larry’s Band)
GoGo Penguin (by Raven)
Time (by Hans Zimmer)
YYZ - Live in Canada /1980 (by Rush)
