The benchmark of using live unamplified music for determining audio system accuracy was based on being able to make a direct comparison with a known live sound.
The idea being that if the system can reasonably accurately reproduce these known live acoustical sounds and voice, that it should also be reasonably accurate at reproducing the electronic sounds also.
We all know that no stereo really can totally accurately reproduce the live sound, but there was a need for a benchmark, and that's what some people settled on as one.
