I want a list of songs that put you in danger of rupturing your car speakers when they come on the radio.
My nominations are “Sharp Dressed Man,” anything by Rage Against the Machine, and “I Wanna be Sedated.” But my biggest one is “Crazy Train.” I really have wondered what my speakers were going to be able to take on that one sometimes.
probably doesn’t count, cuz I’ve never heard it on the radio (soo-prize), but the first few bars after the intro of Turbonegro’s “Age of Pamparius” off of Apocalypse Dudes… the low G-F-E that comes right after the guitar lead in… distorts EVERY time on my stereo. Of course, it might be cuz I recorderd the rest of the tape off the LP at near max rec volume. It’s a great song to play while road raging on your way to work.
you got nothin to lose
Pamparius
gonna wear some high-heeled shoes tonight
Well, don’t know if this counts, as I’m not sure it has ever been played on the radio, but I always have to be careful with the stereo when I start it up: “Dzogchen Punks” by Steve Tibbetts, from The Fall of Us All album. Now, that’s one I’m sure everyone is familiar with. Do not listen without seatbelts.
Prodigy’s Fat of the land is a speaker killer par excellance.
The CD single version of Extreme’s - Get the funk out
Left Field - Dusted
Yello - Oh yeah!
Petenders - Another night in my veins
Guns n roses - Welcome to the jungle
Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax
Blur - Boys and girls
Blur - Tracy Jacks
Kinks - You really got me.
Chicago - I’m a man
Y’all obviously don’t know what kills speakers if you’re recommending Prodigy or Rage. There’s only one CD I’ve ever heard that gives my (car) speakers trouble, and it’s Metropolis by Sister Machine Gun.
Nothing, though, gives my home speakers trouble.
I have a stereo in my garage workshop, the tune that finally blew my speakers was “Strangle Hold” by Terrible Ted.
Other good ones: “Heavy Metal” by Don Feldner and about half the songs from “Appetite for Destruction” by Guns N Roses
Black455: TURBONEGRO? HELL yeah! One of my most-missed bands next to the Wildhearts and Jellyfish!
Speaking of the Wildhearts and getting back to the OP, “Anthem” is the woofer destroyer for my car. The only song I’ve ever heard with a real, honest-to-gawsh sonic boom in it…
Iron Man – Black Sabbath
Quiet Riot’s “Metal Health”
:I’m very sorry to say that I know this from experience:
The song that literally ruptured my car stereo speakers aeons ago was “Turn on the News” by Husker Du.
Keith
Ehhhh. Atari Teenage Riot should do it, as well as some of the stuff by Einstander Neubaten or John Cage.
I’m trying to scrape the dough together for the new Gluecifer… I heard it utterly killz… “The Year of Manly Living” or “Evil Matcher” also qualify as speaker busters, as long as we’re talking about scandi’s.
