I can never listen to Grace by Jeff Buckley without turning it all the way up
I have the same experience with American Dreaming (by DCD)
oh, and also Burning Down The House by Talking Heads
Ditto David Bowie – Suffragette City. Oh, okay, the whole album. Along with Changes and Under Pressure (that he did with Queen)
Ditto Talking Heads – Burning Down the House
Midnight Oil – Beds Are Burning
Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
Mussorgsky-- Night on Bald Mountain, The Great Gate at Kiev
Khachaturian – Saber Dance
Sibelius – Finlandia
Re Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song – ever since seeing Viking Kittens, I can’t hear the song without laughing.
I just wanna say thanks, because this thread has reminded me of so many songs to download with my shiny new Rhapsody subscription.
Fire Water Burn by the Bloodhound Gang
Gotta Get Away by the Offspring
Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes
I also want to emphasize:
The Call Of Ktulu by Metallica
everything by Beethoven. everything.
Also, I, personally, can’t help but turn the volume all the way up for Eight Days a Week and Can’t Help Falling In Love. (The credits for those should be obvious, I hope…)
I re-upped just so I could say
Iron Man by Black Sabbath
Pretty sure someone mentioned it, but Beethoven’s 9th, particularly the Ode to Joy. Something about a choir belting out joyous lyrics in German that just gets the mojo running.
Also, no idea who did it, but there is a cover song by a punk band of “Phantom of the Opera”. It’s very short, but very very fun.
Did we mention Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water?
Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto.
Go listen to “Country Home”. I promise the second time you play it will be at full volume.
“Running on Empty”, Jackson Browne.
“China Grove”, the Doobie Brothers.
“Baba O’Riley”, the Who.
Sweet Home Alabama.
Turn it up.
Ein Straussfest. Turn down the volume on the last track unless you really, really, really, want to buy new woofers/subwoofers.
Look for Peter Hurford’s “Toccata and Fugue, Great Organ Works”. Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” and Widor’s "Toccata from Symphony No.5 demand to be played at maximum volume.
For some Southern Rock, try Green Grass and High Tides. The sample doesn’t do much to show the later power of the song.
Preach it.
Saw it live, in the second row in front of Rick Derringer’s wall-o-speakers. Deaf to this day.
Only if with a live orchestra, complete with church bells and cannons.
Awesome!
serious props for those.
