Yesteday it was "Comfortably Numb", today - "Panic in Detroit" - what's your fav volume 11 song?

[LynneSin]

There are just some songs that cannot be played quietly. What songs do you love to crank up the volume when you hear them?

[Parche]

1. PF LTF

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:hi:

[BOSSHOG]

2. LIVE FOR THE MUSIC - Bad Company

[meegbear]

3. Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

If I don't get some shelter, Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away.

[MissMillie]

8. that's a good one

:thumbsup:

[MassLiberal]

67. yep, me too

[SteppingRazor]

4. I've got a ton of them. But my biggest guilty pleasure "crank to 11" song:

"Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest. So, so cheesy. But if it comes on the radio in the car, the windows are going down and the volume is going up. :headbang:

[gbate]

74. Great pick! I love Judas Priest.

[KG]

5. 'What God Wants' - actually the whole 'Amused to Death' album gets played @ 11

[Guava Jelly]

6. The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxuWdEbxAn4
nothing sounds better blasting at 11

[MissMillie]

7. Justin Hayward's "Forever Autumn"

from The War of the World (1978) soundtrack.

[LynneSin]

9. If it's anything with Justin Hayward it would have to be "Question"

I love that song!

[MissMillie]

12. "Question" is a great song

"Forever Autumn" has amazing synth in it... and some fabulous harmonies, and the lyrics are just beautiful:

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

[Taverner]

10. Von by Sigur Rós

[Dukkha]

42. great album!

I just got In A Frozen Sea, their last 3 albums pressed on 7 vinyl LPs. It's the best way to experience their music!

https://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=40585

[Taverner]

43. I could see that

Miles Davis, Beethoven and John Coltrane all sound better on vinyl - its the volume changes that demand vinyl

[Westegg]

11. A good boot of "Song Remains the Same"...

...And by "good" I mean a decently balanced recording (usually, but not always, a soundboard) where Jonesy's bass is prominent and Plant is in decent voice. Wow, does Jones cook on that one!

I know I'm sounding like a hopelessly old-skool rocker (which I am), but I also admire "Won't Get Fooled Again" at 11.

Lately, I have been blasting Genesis' "Supper's Ready" (live and studio versions), which annoys the wife, as it's a verrryyy loonnnggg song.

[LynneSin]

14. Did you get the reissue of TSRTS?

Page felt he finally had a chance to fix some of the major problems witih the original CD release of TSRTS and it was a definate improvement.

I'm listening to 'Question' by Moody Blues right now but I think I'm gonna have to switch to 'Won't Get Fooled Again' for my next song!

[Westegg]

18. Got the reissue! Very nice, but I have complaints...

...Some unnecessary and surprising editing of songs, particularly on Whole Lotta Love. That said, a welcome upgrade of the sound, and the extra songs. I'm looking forward to the Blu-Ray DVD, although I now have to buy a Blu-Ray player. What the hell, I might as well join the 21st century.

[Adsos Letter]

13. The entire Yes "Fragile" ...uh, album...

as well as the entire "Aqualung" album by Jethro Tull...

[LynneSin]

15. my favorite volume 11 yes - "Starship Troopers"

Yes was one of the first concerts I ever saw. When they did the finale with Starship Trooper all these lights came down with the smoke machines and they just jammed on that song for like 20-30 minutes.

It was that defining moment that I realized I was a classic rock chick for life.

[MissMillie]

16. "Fragile" and not "Close to the Edge"?

I gotta admit, I love "Mood for a Day"

[Westegg]

20. "Close To the Edge" loud is magnificent...

...whether it's my original vinyl or the remastered CD. The title track is one I can (and have) blasted for almost 30 years now. Love it when Wakeman's organ shakes the room.

"I get up, I get down." Admittedly, Anderson's lyrics can be opaque. Then again, I have often gotten up. And most certainly, I have gotten down.

[redqueen]

17. Favorite? Can't do it... Favorite right now? QOTSA - Regular John.

:headbang:

[Dr. Strange]

19. What the heck is a volume 11 song?

You can't turn the volume up to 11. It only goes up to 10.

I find that 90% of Rush songs are meant to be played loud.

[LynneSin]

22. You have got to be fucking kidding me

I didn't realize you were that clueless
:cry:

[Dr. Strange]

30. Clueless?

I have more clues in my pinky than you have in your whole body! Neener, neener!

[theredpen]

25. Clean out your Lounge cubby

You're fired.

[Dr. Strange]

31. You'll be hearing from my lawyer!

[mokawanis]

50. Tommy Bolin

Song is Post Toastie....excellent guitar playing.

[Westegg]

27. So you're not familiar with this classic lyric:

..."She too young/And I'm too well hung."

????

"These go to eleven."

[Dr. Strange]

29. Is that Air Supply?

I haven't listened to them since high school.

[Westegg]

33. Close. It's Bread...

"Baby, I'm a want you/
Baby, I'm a need you.

Wonderbread is healthy/
My package is stealthy.

Here's the song I should have sung:
You're too young/
I'm too well hung.

(Chorus)

Ohhh! Darlin, you look so fine./
Who's to say/
Where we draw the line?

My hands on your neck now, but/
I know your air supply is fine!

Okay! I'll let go/
Would ya like some more wine?"

I never liked that band, and I don't trust people who do.

[HamstersFromHell]

62. They also did...

"If a face could launch a thousand ships then yours would sink them all..." :evilgrin:

[Dr. Strange]

64. Oh man.

:rofl: :rofl:

[tigereye]

44. I thought that was a Bowie line...

weird, I used to listen to Bread (I was 13, what did I know) and I must have missed the implications...


or am I simply confused here.... :crazy:

[Westegg]

48. You're confused (but not simply).

[Greyskye]

28. no way!

All the good amps go to 11!

[Dr. Strange]

32. You can't post that!

Where did they post that? Is that some kind of fancy popcorn popper?

[Kajsa]

34. Mine only goes to ten!

:cry:

[LynneSin]

35. But in your mind you could push it to 11

Only if you feel it in your heart to do so

[Kajsa]

39. You got it!

I've pushed it past 11 in my mind!

;-)

[Critters2]

61. These go to 11. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

66. It's right up there with "very unique" and "Give 'em 120 percent"

and "I literally shit my pants".

:eyes:

[taterguy]

21. Deep Purple's Highway Star

Or just about anything else they did

[Westegg]

24. Agreed. Especially with Blackmore.

[Tikki]

23. "Sunglasses After Dark".....The Cramps

:D

[theredpen]

26. Bad Music for Bad People

Gotta luv the Cramps. :loveya:

[chknltl]

36. 2112 and a small list from Yessongs work best at volume 11 for me.

...I suspect that my younger neighbors would take issue, so I don't do that.

Call me weird but another thing which I have been busted listening to at Volume 11: The No Doubt LIVE Special which I recorded a few years back. Gwen is so drop dead gorgeous and I love her voice...the fact that No Doubt was comprised of some great musicians as well didn't hurt either. My neighbor did indeed bust me listening to this at a level my speakers could hardly tolerate...she called me up and asked me nicely if I had gone insane. I turned it down and she went back to sleep.

[Missy Vixen]

37. There are many, but right now, The Who's "My Generation"

Just remember: If it's too loud, you're too old.

Julie

[Cabcere]

52. Word.

:headbang: Actually, I think many songs by The Who are meant to be played exceedingly loud (and with the bass cranked all the way up, because John Entwistle = amazing). :D :hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

38. Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones

:bounce: :woohoo:

[Kajsa]

40. 'Gimme All Your Lovin'

-ZZ Top.

Must Be Played LOUD!

:D

[Westegg]

41. Also? "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers"...

...Not to mention "Jesus Just Left Chicago."

[Kajsa]

51. Oh, yeah!

:D

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

59. Definitely an 11 song.

As is "La Grange"...especially when the riffs really start crunching after the intro! Yeah! B-)

[Kajsa]

71. Yep,

That " little 'ole band from Texas"
sure kicks some serious butt!

:D

[tigereye]

45. quite a few

but I often default to Midnight Oil's Blue Sky Mine


My son has decided he wants to hear Tom Petty's Runnin' Down A Dream at high volume.

[Adams Wulff]

46. Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who nt

[Cabcere]

54. Oh yeah.

:headbang: Roger Daltrey's scream is electrifying! (OK, so is everything else in that song...it just plain rocks!) :thumbsup:

53. Anything by Spinal Tarp

I mean Tap. ;)

:headbang: NONE MORE LOUD!

[Dr. Strange]

55. Oh no. Another one.

;-)

[LeftyMom]

56. either Hallie Does Hebron (propaghandi) or Liar (rollins band)

lately anyhow, what I want to yell along with kinda depends on my mood and what I'm pissed off about lately.

[GOPBasher]

57. All Rush songs, baby! Best rock band ever! n/t

[Dr. Strange]

77. You are hereby inducted into the cool people's club.

:thumbsup:

[Mezzo]

58. "Stairway to Heaven" (Zepplin) "Shot in the Dark" (Ozzy) "These are Days (10,000 Maniacs)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

60. The Stooges' classic "Loose" as performed by Buick MacKane.

[seemunkee]

63. Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
