Currently, it’s the latest **Foo Fighters** song. It starts off with him kinda whispering, so when the first heavy riff hits, I crank it up. Then, towards the end, the second big bang hits, and I damned near pop off the knob because my radio just WON’T GO ANY LOUDER!!! My other big guilty pleasure, **Guitar Wolf** always makes me wish my speakers went up to eleven. Sure, I could buy better speakers for my car, but somehow, I don’t think they’ll ever be loud enough. So, what songs/music makes you wish you could crank it up farther than it goes? ---

**Hold Your Head Up** , by Argent (?) is a good eleven song for me. ---

maybe the Foo does that a lot. The first album’s **For all the cows** was like that too, really mellow in the verse, then makes you want to rip the stereo apart in the chorus. ---

I’m with ya on the Guitar Wolf note **Elvis**. My sig on another message board is a Guitar Wolf quote: “Love knows no boundaries, race or gender… ROCK & ROLL!!” ---

Turn Up The Radio, by Autograph (well, obviously!) Metal Gods, by U.D.O. - the Judas Priest version is cool, but Herr Dirkschneider makes it his own! Not only do I crank it, but I roll down all the windows and drive through the Yuppie part of town. 🙂 There are others, but can’t think of any right now… ---

Ha ha! **Elvis** , “All My Life” was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title. 🙂 I would like to add “Prayer” by Disturbed.
