Default What are some of your favorite refrence songs used for mastering...

This is a great topic and I'd love to hear what songs (and artists) people are using as references when they master their music. I know that it all depends on the genre of music you are producing and to choose something that closely matches, but I think it would be fun to see what people here are using.

Right now, I'm putting together a list for my self. Here are a couple that I like using...

1 KISS - Psycho Circus
2 Foo Fighters - Everlong
3 Nash Kato - Zooey Suicide
4 Urge Overkill - Sister Havana

Was Paui Revere the Hawaiian counterpart of PAUL Revere?
OK, answer to the question, depends on the song. SOMETHING in the same genre, typically.
