I've only ever heard a difference for sure in one song: Who Said (Stuck in the UK) by Planet Funk. At one point there's a synthesized high frequency warble that MP3 at any bitrate is apparently unable to encode properly.

Another excellent test case is the track "Second Bad Vilbel" by Autechre. The rockets at the beginning pose an insurmountable challenge for most codecs. Last I checked, MP3 at any bitrate couldn't do it, and Ogg Vorbis fell down unless you went up to at least -q7, which is a rather high bitrate (~224kbps).
