I’ve long held a grudge against Gram Parsons for OD’ing & leaving Country Rock to the Eagles. I’ve never bought an album by those smarmy cocaine cowboys. But every time I hear “Take It Easy” I want to turn up the volume & head West in my convertible. (Need to get a convertible first.)
And “You’re Gonna Miss Me” by the 13th Floor Elevators. I’ve heard that Paul Drummond, author of the excellent Eye Mind: The Saga of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators, The Pioneers of Psychedelic Sound has gotten his hands on the masters of the Elevators’ LP’s. If these ever show up in a boxed set, I’d recommend playing the whole thing at top volume…
Frankenstein - Edgar Winter
“Rock Around the Clock”, Bill Haley and the Comets.
Absofrickinlutely YES. That whole “stompstompCLAP!” that runs thru WWRY just…whoo. Esp. at a hockey game.
Everything Zen – Bush
Evenflow – Pearl Jam
Bullet with Butterfly Wings – Smashing Pumpkins
Pump Up The Volume, by whoever put it together.
The whole Ziggy Stardust album, really.
I think you mean “Nugget” and “Comfort Eagle”.
My nomination: “Beautiful” by Joydrop. A quiet verse, the first half of the chorus takes it up to eight, then they eleven all over the place.
go-go! Godzilla!
Night Ranger - Sister Christian
You gotta crank it and get that whole Boogie Nights thing goin’.
I thought I would make it through the entire thread without seeing War Pigs. Thank you, dwc1970.
A few of mine:
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Epic - Faith No More
Big in Japan (cover) - Guano Apes
Four Horsemen - Metallica
Seek and Destroy - Metallica
Walk on Water - Ozzy
The Trance is the Motion - Static X
I’ll third Bohemian Rhapsody and Paint it Black.
Burning Down the House - The Talking Heads. My favorite song from the band, and damn that song song will test the dynamic response of your system. I’ve dimmed the lights in the house a few times pullin’ amps on that song.
Grinder - Judas Priest (Most of “British Steel”, really), Green Manalishi. It’s Priest, it’s meant to be loud, but I love those 2.
I see a few other artists I’d nominate, but not the songs I had in mind…
Aerosmith - Train Kept a Rollin’
Nugent - Hibernation, Live It Up, Home Bound
Thin Lizzy - Emerald

Rush - Here Again
Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Steely Dan - most anything, their recordings are so awesome, you can flat out crank that shit and it sounds beautiful

Van Halen - Intruder (intro into Pretty Woman)
Danzig - Twist of Cain, Mother
Pantera - Walk, Cemetary Gates

And finally, how could anyone miss The Imperial March? That’s just asking for a death by asphixation.
I like his guitar work and he gets off into some long jams. He was a rocker at one time, then mellowed way back out.

Dandy Warhols - Hard On For Jesus
Jane’s Addiction - Stop!
Alice in Chains - Head Creeps
