Black Sabbath - Hole in the Sky

Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills

Star Wars opening by John Williams :D

You know how some movies on TV are letter boxed? Black stripe at top, and bottom of the screen? It's because the person who made the movie refuses to have it shown in a different aspect. The same should go for music. It should be listened to at the volume that the artist originally intended it to be herd. Funk 49 by The James Gang.

Karn Evil 9 - ELP

Baba O'Riley - The Who

I had that 45 when I was a kid. It's probably kicking around somewhere. I should put it on MP3. How about Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good"?

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly, especially the part with the drum solo.

Whole lotta love.

Who are you - The Who
I have problems when this comes on and I am driveing , I start channeling Keith Moon !!

and anything by the Chem Bros.

Don't know what one you mean. Can you hum a few bars?

American Girl Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers

Little Sister Dwight Youkum

Texas Flood Stevie Ray Vaughn

In honor of a fallen hero: Long Time Boston This has to hold the title of the best intro in all of songdome. Don't want to thread drift too much, but the most disappointing intro would have to be held by Allen Parson's Project Eye in the Sky.

American Woman - Guess Who version or Lenny Kravitz
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Somebody to Love - Queen
Wild Thing - The Trogs
Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Anything by Johann Sebastian Bach:keys:

Laissez les bons temps rouler…………


Ten Years Gone……..Led Zeppelin

Plus everything richlevy said except the Bach. Bach? Bah.

Mony Mony--Billy Idol

(She's So Dull) I'm Gonna Rip Her to Shreds--Blondie

Ogre Battle Queen

March of the Black Queen Queen

I Need a Lover That Won't Drive Me Crazy John Cougar I've herd a lot of versions of this song, and this is the best by far, and nothing like anything else John Cougar did.

This is an essential song for "testing" your stereo. The recording is so saturated you can hear the guitar solo clipping, just slightly, right at the whole edge of maximum. This song will run your system through the gamut of performance. That, and I was just gonna say anything by Pantera, especially from Vulgar Display Of Power.

Immigrant Song -- Led Zeppelin

Smoke On The Water -- Deep Purple. The live version -- NOT the Machine Head album one -- off of Made In Japan. The musically smart version of a musically dumb song. Played upbeat, with a much fancier intro.

Re Bach: Joy, that 6/8 version of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, by a one hit wonder called Apollo 100. That one's good enough to bring back.

Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor
Orff's Carmina Burana
Any Pink Floyd up to and including The Wall (after that, just don't bother)
The Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Hocus Pocus by Focus at top volume gets you some strange looks as you drive down the street.

...All of them.


(If it's too loud, you're too old.)

Big Balls; You Shook Me All Night Long, both by AC/DC

FREE BIRD!

METALLICA!!!
 

Harvester of Sorrow
Master of Puppets
One
For Whom the Bell Tolls

ah F*CK IT! Anything by Metallica (prior to the Black Album that is!!)

Slayer
South of Heaven
Reign in Blood

Sepultura
Orgasmatron
Refuse/Resist

Iron Maiden
Aces High
Two Minutes to Midnight

All trance and trance hardcore.


Back In Black and Hells Bells

Nice of you to offer a sample, rkzen -- but it doesn't seem at all engaging. I think it's as dull as Muzak.

Excellent point. There's a huge difference in loud and loud and clear. Another good system tester is Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. From cannon bursts to church bells, it will surely uncover any weaknesses at full volume.

Until it sleeps, Enter Sandman - Metallica (most Metallica should be played very loud.)

toxicity

Any metal should be played loud.

Fun times going downtown blasting screaming music, the looks are priceless.

Doesn't playing it that loud destroy your ears?

WHAT DID YOU SAY??

For most people on this board.........yes.

For me....no.

My ears can still repair itself. :p

Hmm -

Ain't Talkin About Love - Van Halen

Unchained - Van Halen
(i'm a fan)

Still of the Night - Whitesnake
