Crikey… no REO fans out there? From their 1978 album :You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish… “Roll With The Changes” …kick ass piano intro… "As soon as you are able, Woman I am willing, To make the break that we are on the brink of. My cup is on the table, My love is spilling, Waiting here for you to take and drink of. So if you’re tired of the same old story, Turn some pages. I’ll be here when you are ready to Roll with the changes… ---

Anything by Black Sabbath. Except “Changes.” Anything by Yes. Except “Changes.” “Change” by the Deftones. “Your Disease” by Saliva (which I still like; thanks, **Chum.** ) “Wheel In the Sky” by Journey. “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream. “Got You Where I want You” by the Flys. “Until It Sleeps” by Metallica. “Song 2” by Blur. ---

I doubt any classic rock station would play these, but if I hear’em, I gotta crank’em. Stinkfist - Tool Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver - Primus So Whatcha Want - Beastie Boys Tweeter and the Monkeyman - The Headstones Do the Evolution - Pearl Jam Babylon - The Tea Party ---

Rule One: No Ballads Allowed. Rule Two: Z106 wouldn’t know modern Rock if it bit them on the ass. They’ve been playing the same, ancient, moldy, 70’s era crap for 25 years now. Thank **God** I discovered the Internet, Napster and resumed listening to music awhile back. Def Leppard: Animal Def Leppard: Photograph Def Leppard: Slang Def Leppard: Foolin Def Leppard: Rock of Ages Okay, to shorten that list, everything off Pyromania, Hysteria and Euphoria except ballads. Quiet Riot: Cum on Feel the Noize Dream Theater: Caught in a Web Extreme: Get the Funk Out Journey: Be Good to Yourself Journey: Seperate Ways Alice Cooper: House of Fire, Poison, Elected, Feed my Frankenstein… This could be a long list and that’s at least ONE good CD there. 🙂 ---

I’ll echo some votes and add to them. Stinkfist by Tool must be cranked with all the windows down. Du Hast, you might as well put some money aside to pay the speeding ticket. Listening to that song as loud as the radio will go on Lake Shore Drive is one of life’s great pleasures. Crazy Train OF COURSE. and come on. How about SISTER CHRISTIAN? That ROCKS baby, rocks. I also crank up Santa Monica by Everclear and Jump Around by House of Pain ---

Thanks guys, I was running out of things to download from (Napster Alternative)\*\*. My suggestions: Sonic Youth - Titanium Expose Troggs - The Lion Sleeps Tonight Art of Noise - Close to (the Edit) Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive Shonen Knife - almost everything NIN - Man with a Gun Husker Du - Diane The Damned - Jet Boy/Jet Girl and I am really mortified to admit this: Christina/Mya/Pink/Lil Kim - Lady Marmalade (I shouldn’t like this song, this song represents everything I hate in music. But gods help me, I love this. I love the song, love the video, I even had an erotic dream featuring Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot ferchrissakes. I am a sick man) [sub]\*\* Don’t want to name names and offend mods.[/sub] ---

Baba O’Reilly, Won’t Get Fooled Again, Who Are You, and in fact just about anything else from the Who that you’re likely to hear on the radio. Bang a Gong, T. Rex. Honkey Tonk Women & Brown Sugar by the Stones. Revolution, Beatles. And lots of other stuff already mentioned. ---

“Brackish” by Kittie “Got the Life” By Korn “Fat Lip” by Sum 41…I know I’m a dork but I LOVE this song! “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters “Crazy Train”, everyone loves Ozzy! “Festival Song” by Good Charlotte.

A lot of my choices have already been posted, except for my all time favorite: **The Who - Emimence Front** I just love the long intro, with the killer keyboard and then the murderous bass. C’mon on, now! ---

I’m not (usually) one for pumping up the volume but… no one has mentioned “Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down yet? I nearly blew out the speakers in a rental car with that one! Seconds on Radar Love & Running Down a Dream… lotsa others that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by waterj2 \* > \*\*“Sweet Home Alabama” after all, it says “turn it up” right as it starts, and I always do what I’m told. \*\* Took the words just right out of my mouth. “Heard Mr. Young sing about her. Yea, I heard ole Neil put her down. I want Neil Young to remember a Southern man don’t need him around anyhow.” I always thought that so cool that they jousted him in one of the most popular songs they had. Too cool. Oh another song “Jump Around” just gota crank that one.
