The really really really really really really loud thread

[Apemanblues]

Which song is the ultimate awesome of awesomness when played really really really really really really loud. I'm talking about all the way up to 11 here.

I'd say Voodoo Chile (slight return) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=layTKmyJyBY) by Hendrix. You really do believe that he can stand up next to a mountain and chop it down with the edge of his hand.

Dig?

Dreadnaught by Machinae Supremacy. Find a nice quiet room alone, put in Personal Monitors, turn it up high enough that it doesn't hurt, but tunes the world out.

Pure bliss.

[Killyp]

Space Cowboy by Jamiroquai or Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury & The Blockheads.

Both are brilliant pieces of music, and almost impossible to easily classify into any particular genre. Is Space Cowboy Jazz, Funk or Soul? Very difficult to say.

What about Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick? Is it rock, funk or again, jazz? Still sounds unbelievably modern and recent, despite it's age.


The great thing about both songs is how well they 'get going' and drive towards the end.

[rdowns]

Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon- whole album.

[killmoms]

Anything by Mogwai or My Bloody Valentine.

Especially "Stop Coming To My House" or "Sometimes," respectively. :cool:

EDIT: Ooh, also the entire "Alive 2007" album by Daft Punk.

[Blue Velvet]

Timeless/Innercity Life/Pressure/Jah (21mins album track) — Goldie

Never fails to gear me up for work. Sizzling old-skool breaks and ultra-sub rolling lines. Beethoven's 5th isn't too bad, either.

[decksnap]

Buckethead - Nottingham Lace. Brain melting solo.

[Techguy172]

Almost any Def Leppard Song.

[faintember]

Barber's Adagio for Strings, as I prefer for the climax to be just under the threshold of pain (literally).

I also agree with rdowns suggestion of Dark Side of the Moon by the Floyd.

Oh, and Gelk (or anything) by Autechre and Walk by Pantera.

[skunk]

Gentleman - Fela Kuti. Possibly the most exquisite intro, too.

[Techguy172]

In & Out of Love- Bon Jovi

[Melrose]

New Gold Dream (from the Live Bundle One download on their site) by Simple Minds. But then, I love SM. It really is great when you crank it up.

[Victor ch]

Heavyweight and Suliman, both by Infected Mushroom. Awesome electronic music.

Victor

[Mistershark]

All of Takk... by Sigur Ros. I did this the first time I listened to the album - amazing.

[Cassie]

Almost any Def Leppard Song.

Amen to that.

[killmoms]

All of Takk... by Sigur Ros. I did this the first time I listened to the album - amazing.

Alternatively, untitled 8 (Dauðlagið) from ( ). Absolutely amazing loud. Even better live.

Ian Dury and the Blockheads are in a class of their own. Awesome stuff.

[anti-microsoft]

At the moment, 'really, really loud' is saved for:

"Sunshine the Werewolf" by The Dillinger Escape Plan
"Black Bubblegum" by The Dillinger Escape Plan
"Imagine" (cover) by A Perfect Circle
"Archangel" by Burial
"Digital Sea" by Thice

That's my 'morning wake up' play list...

[Killyp]

Ian Dury and the Blockheads are in a class of their own. Awesome stuff.

Amen.

I'd also put Boards of Canada's Zoetrope in there - absolutely beautiful...

[Much Ado]

Anything by Mogwai

Especially "Stop Coming To My House" or "Sometimes," respectively.

Mmm... yes. I'm thinking Ratts of the Capital too.

All 200 years of it.

Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground
