I usually never listen too loud to blues, jazz, classical or even metal but some rock songs were meant to be listened to at full tilt. You know, the louder you go the better they sound and get your blood boiling so at the risk of loosing your hearing and blowing up your speakers you keep turning them up and up until it starts to peg those blue McIntosh meters and it feels great. :D So what are some of you favorite ones? Some of my notoriously loud ones are:

Van Halen: Jump
AC/DC: For those about to rock.
Motley Crue: Shout at the devil.
Guns and Roses: Welcome to the Jungle
Cinderella: Hot and Bothered
Dire Straits: Money for Nothing
Def Leppard: Rock Brigade
Metallica: Enter Sandman
Poison: Ride the wind
Scorpions: Rock you like a Hurricane
Whitesnake: Still of the Night
Billy Squier: Everybody wants you
Judas Priest: Screaming for Vengeance
Sammy Hagar: I can't drive 55
Tom Petty: Refugee
The Who: Who are you
The Police: Don't stand so close to me
Rolling Stones: I can't get no satisfaction
Genesis: Abacab
Eric Clapton: Cocaine
Eddie Money: I think I'm in love
Bryan Adams: Summer of '69
Joan Jett: I love Rock 'N Roll
Billy Idol: Rebel Yell
Ozzy: Crazy Train
Rush: Tom Sawyer
Bon Jovi: You give love a bad name
ZZ Top: Sharp dressed man
Iron Maiden: Invaders
Queen: Another one bites the dust
Journey: Send her my love
JC Mellencamp: Hurts so good
Duran Duran: Rio
Twisted Sister: I wanna Rock
Eurythimics: Sweet dreams

Who's Next is a bona fide classic. :thmbsp:

I second jem666...

TOOL

Most anything they released. Their releases are recorded with incredible detail and quality. I use several Tool songs to test systems I put together because their music is recorded so well, yet the abundance of detailed sound borders on chaotic. This brings lesser systems to their knees very quickly and shows equipment flaws right away.

On many music systems, Tool may sound chaotic and distorted. On a high quality music system with good imaging and a wide frequency range, Tool sounds incredibly detailed with a wide soundstage and full depth. Speakers literally disappear and the front of your listening area becomes a stage.

Bonz

Foghat - Slow Ride

Rainbow ~ Man on the Silver Mountain
38 Special ~ Caught up in You
CCR ~ Sweet Hitch-hiker
Hollies ~ Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress
The Knack ~ My Sharona

...Don't Fergit "Fool For the City", n8thesk8..."House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals (1964) is another oldie-but-goodie, as is "Walk, Don't Run" by the Ventures from 1960.

Kiss - I want You

Zodak2112, How about:
White Zombie - More Human Than Human

Yeah, good one. I just feel sometimes Rob Zombie is a little too much like Ministry or KMFDM.

Thunderkiss '65 still rules all.

Good call RSL'67
Have you ever heard of Rebel Meets Rebel?

Bowie and Mercury ~ Under Pressure
Radiohead ~ Lucky, Creep
Nirvana ~ Lithium, Francis Farmer will Have her Revenge on Seattle
Elvis ~ Lawdy Miss Clawdy, Trying to Get to You (seriously)
Beatles ~ Revolution, I am the Walrus
Hendrix ~ Voodoo Chile (slight return)
SRV ~ Mary had a Little Lamb (live Montreaux)
Rage Against the Machine Minus De La Rocha + Soundgarden guy (whatever they call themselves) ~ Like a Stone
The Who ~ Cousin Kevin
Stones ~ Paint it Black, too bad sound quality sucks on my cee-dees, Love is Strong
Smashing Pumpkins ~ XYU
Grateful Dead ~ Lucky (think that's the title, guitar solo on Dick's Picks 10, Jerry had it goin on that night)

Edit: Someone said Pantera, of course the only Pantera song I really know ~ Cemetery Gates, who knows how much hearing loss can be attributed to that one track

Shouldn't be admitting to most of these additions..... but

Jefferson Airplane - Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil
ELO - Telephone Line
Tom Petty - Wildflowers (whole album)
Supertramp - Bloody Well Right (Live in Paris)
CSNY - Long Time Comin'
The Doors - Peace Frog
Radiohead - Creep
Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
The Outfield - Your Love
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart

I'll stop now before I'm forced to turn in my music lover's card.

Further evidence that a six pack, an otherwise vacant abode and a volume pot don't neccessarily equal savant levels of musical aestheticism.

Good call RSL'67
Have you ever heard of Rebel Meets Rebel?

Sure - Pantera (minus Phil) w/ DAC on vox - raw but good tunage - I like it! :thmbsp:

I've actually met and partied with Dime (and all of Pantera) more than once - RIP Dime.

If ya really wanna throw some fists in the air - put on Pantera's Vulgar Display!!

Man alot of great "amp clipping" tunes already mentioned.
Robert plant/allison Kraus...Raising Sand
Chris Rea..Highway to Hell
BOC...Don't fear the Reaper,Fire of Unknown Origin
Billy Joel...Captain Jack
Clash ...Rock the Casbah
LittleRiver Band..Shutdown Turnoff

Steppenwolfe...Magic Carpet Ride
Eric Burdon ...Sky Pilot
Buffaloe Springfield-For what its worth

Dime was the man. It was a sad day for rivetheads when he died.

Rage Against the Machine Minus De La Rocha + Soundgarden guy (whatever they call themselves) ~ Like a Stone

Audioslave!

Grateful Dead ~ Lucky (think that's the title, guitar solo on Dick's Picks 10, Jerry had it goin on that night)

I don't know "Lucky", but #10 opens with "Jack Straw", which makes my list as well. Stacked Large Advents + Stacked KLH 17's + TimeFrames still don't equal the Wall of Sound, though.

There are many bands that require you to peg out the meters with every song like:
AC/DC
Rage Against the Machine
Pantera
CCR

Frankie Goes to Hollywood ~ Relax

Audioslave!
I've got the cd. It's just more fun to poke fun at the name game than look it up. Speaking of looking it up, you're right, it isn't "lucky", it's loser. Loser is a pretty slow song but love that solo.

Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You, Kashmir
The Who - Love Reign O'er Me
Television - Marquee Moon
