Beatles "Love" ...sonics are outstanding
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_(The_Beatles_album)
Love is a soundtrack remix album of music recorded by The Beatles, released in November 2006. It features music compiled and remixed as a mashup for the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. The album was produced by George Martin and his son Giles Martin, who said, "What people will be hearing on the album is a new experience, a way of re-living the whole Beatles musical lifespan in a very condensed period.

Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
Buena Vista Social Club - one of the best recordings I've ever heard....catchy tunes too!
What about female voices?

My first two choices have not made the list so far:
Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture - the original Telarc pressing, make sure you have a turntable capable of handling the extreme excursions
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Welcome to the Machine will test your bass and David Gilmor's guitar will test the rest.
These two stood out to me as having deep natural sounding bass...and just being loads of fun to listen to and watch.

Well, if we're going to be Totally Lame!
How about Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face? You can hear the tape hiss pretty well when it begins but your focus quickly turns to the vocals. One of the most lifelike recordings I've ever heard. What a bass line too!
