What music do you want to play really loud?


What music do you want to crank up your system for?
I want to know the title and the artist, any type of music.
My choice is The Wall by Pink Floyd.

I see there's a few Floyd fans try Music Of Pink Floyd- Orchestral Maneuvers David Palmer & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra! I also love any Zeppelin, Floyd, Buddy Guy Live The Real Deal, Supertramp & Steely Dans Greatest Hits, Boston More Than A Feeling, any Tesla, The Cult Electric, Clapton From The Cradle, Chris Rea Te Road To Hell, AC/DC Back In Black, Gov't Mule S/T, Dose, Life Before Insanity, Deep End Of The Ocean play it all loud Mule rocks!
Every time Iput on Rage against the machine or Audioslave I cant leave the volume alone no matter how hard I try,,
AC/DC with Bon Scott. New Order "Blue Monday", and pretty much anything else when I'm home alone.
Dire Straits - When It Comes To You

...and many others. But that's the first one that comes to my head.
Blues: Melvin Taylor and the Slack Band playing "Texas Flood."

Jazz: "Ruby My Dear" (vinyl) Monk/Trane

Classic Rock: "In the Evening" Led Zepplin from In Through the Outdoor.

Nu Rok: Jet--the whole album (I think that even classic rock guys will like this band!).

Classical: Any Bach
Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue (Tracks 9 Too Rich for my blood and Track 11 Nardis

Pink Floyd - Wall (Another Brick in the wall Part 2)

Eagles - Hotel California (Title track)

Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Miles Davis - Tutu

I know am forgetting a few more!
Organ music using the lowest bass octave is my preference. The largest organ in the world with the deepest bass (8 hertz) is in Atantic City. Unfortunately it is no longer operational, and hasn't been for decades due to the cost of renovations. However, I do have a recording of this organ from the fifties restored and converted to CD. One track has an interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor except the organist uses the deepest notes to show off the 64 foot pipe. It's too bad that my subwoofer only goes down to 12 hertz. Bach would have turned over in his grave if he heard this interpretation.
Here are some individual tracks that are an absolute must for LOUD-lovers:
Aerosmith "Train Kept A Rolling" (Get Your Wings)
Joe Satriani "House Full of Bullets" (Crystal Planet)
Joe Satriani "Cool #9" (Joe Satriani)
Deep Purple "Never Before" (Live on the BBC)
War "Low Rider" (Why Can't We Be Friends?)
War "The Cysco Kid" (The World Is A Ghetto)
Bill Morrissey "Hills of Tuscany" (You'll Never Get To Heaven)
Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" (The Hunter")
FourPlay "Bali Run" (FOURPLAY)
Les Dudek "Old Judge Jones" (Say No More)
"Panama" as sung by David Lee Roth with Van Halen. This should only be listened to at very loud volumes. The Sammy Haggar version is not quite the same. The Pat Boone version (yes, there is one) with the big band backup is humorous about once a year at very low volume.

Dire Straights "I want my MTV" Only the first part with the build up to the guitar solo, and the guitar solo itself, then I turn down the volume for the rest of the song.

AC/DC "Back in Black" and "You Shook Me All Night Long"

Def Lepard "Pour Some Sugar on Me"

Foreigner "Juke Box Hero"

Michael Jackson "Dirty Diana" and especially "Smooth Criminal"
The artist is talented, even though he is an alleged smooth criminal himself. And yes, that is actually Michael Jackson's heartbeat you hear at the beginning of the song. This version of "Smooth Criminal" will let you know immediatly if you have tightly controled and authoritative midbass when played loudly. At the live concert years ago they blew out a bank of woofers on "Dirty Diana."
Avalon/Roxy Music..that's a good one. Actually I like that record a lot too.
Also, ACDC, Metalica, Dire STraights...yep I agree. It's all good.
PEOPLE WATCH YOUR HEARING!....you'll thank yourself when your 50, and are too lazy to do anything but play with hifi.
Aimee Mann - Live Lost in Space
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Ziggy Marley - Dragonfly
The Cult- Love
GNR- Appetite For Destruction
Led Zeppelin- I
Social Distortion- Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
Allman Bros.- Eat A Peach
Lou Reed- Rock and Roll Animal
Jane's Addiction- First album
Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed
AC/DC- Back In Black
Gene oves Jezebel- House of Dolls

That should be enough to offend the neighbors.
Supertramp - "School" ; Genesis - "Supper's Ready" ; Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" ; King Crimson - "Red" ; Camel - pretty much anything by them; Gentle Giant - "3 Friends" (esp side 2)
I've got a question for you folks. Have you ever noticed that while some recordings "beg" to be listened to at high volumes, others really seem to fall apart above a certain spl level? While i'm surely not shy with the volume control, i find that some discs / specific cuts simply sound better at a low to medium volume. Anyone else ever notice this? Sean

PS... I'm not talking about "mopey music" i.e. music that is slow and depressing and begs to be played back quietly as you listen to yourself sob....
Sean, the posts by you and Eldartford on this thread are hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle. :)

Yes, I agree that some music just wants to be enjoyed at fairly low levels. No doubt about it.

Radio Birdman, the Buzzcocks, the Vibrators and Gang of Four have all shaken the floorboards from time to time. It's the futile cry of rebellion from the box house on the box street in a suburban wasteland.
