So, I was listening to Mars from The Planets yet again, and I got to thinking. Why do I play this so damn loud all the time.

For me, it is probably the above mentioned song and "Twin Killers" by Deerhoof.

The answer is that it's awesome, but what songs do you risk noise complaints from the neighbors to listen to properly?

Peter Harris · « **Reply #1 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 16:55 »

"Galvanize" by the Chemical Brother feat Q-Tip (and I was listening to it before the commercials - not that I'm an early adopter, but I remember when it first got played on our radio station).

"Playgirl" by Ladytron, and Eric Prydz' new one - "Proper Education."

Every single song by Motorhead, but especially No Class.

Is that the song by Heart, cause yeah that song does rock...

For me it's "War" by Burzum, that song just sounds a lot better cranked.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #7 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 18:40 »

I think they meant the one by Jefferson Aeroplane ( I think? )

DETROIT ROCK CITY

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #10 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 20:56 »

Basically everything I listen to.

Caspian · « **Reply #11 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 21:00 »

Why the hell has no one mentioned Sunn O))) yet? Without volume, they are nothing!

Also: Neurosis, and I guess every other drone band.

Most bands sound better loud, but it doesn't really hurt the experience much if you have it on quiet. (For most bands, anyway.)

Tyler <3s chunky basslines? I saw Heart live once... I was 16 and thought it was the coolest thing ever, because it was.

I have to crank it up to 11 when I listen to anything even remotely rocking that is fun to shout along to, like DFA 1979, Against Me!, Pixies, McLusky etc

Arch Enemy.

After the intro to Ravenous, when the riff first kicks in, I have to crank it every time. So great.

MadassAlex · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Feb 2007, 23:12 »

Just about everything.

Everything on Raw Power by The Stooges. Also, "Another Sunny Day" by Belle and Sebastian, because that opening may well be the most perfect sound in existence by my ears.

The extra letter · « **Reply #21 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 01:02 »

Gary Numan - RIP (I *love* cranking this up as loudly as possible. Then the loud bit starts and I dive for the volume knob.)

Wumpscut - Christfuck

Thrill Kill Kult - After The Flesh, Kooler Than Jesus

Primal Scream - Miss Lucifer, Swastika Eyes

Tori Amos - Raspberry Swirl

DITC - The Invisible

Hard-Fi - most of them, especially 'Hard To Beat' and 'Living For The Weekend.'
Ryan Adams - 'Political Scientist'

Caspian · « **Reply #25 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 04:42 »

WHY hasn't anyone else mentioned Sunn? Surely I'm not the only fan here..

KharBevNor · « **Reply #26 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 05:07 »

Because you already mentioned them?

Jeez, calm down man.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #29 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 12:44 »

for me everything from typical "indie" rock (arcade fire, sunset rubdown ect.) to ambient stuff (tim hecker, eluvium) to post rocking stuff all sounds a lot better when it's very loud. i don't know why but i enjoy music a lot more if it's blasting at a level that isn't safe for my ears to be subjected to.

ScrambledGregs · « **Reply #30 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 13:14 »

Dude, Slint is sooooo much more dynamic at loud volumes.

Wait, are we not doing that joke anymore??

Johnny C · « **Reply #31 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 13:40 »

Pixies' Surfer Rosa sounds quiet to me, which gives me an excuse to turn it up way loud. I always get the impression that I would do so anyways though.

Quientessence by Darkthrone is another one I love to crank. I like playing along on my guitar to it, preferably with the amp cranked way up...

imapiratearg · « **Reply #36 on:** 10 Feb 2007, 22:24 »

"Pull Harder On The Strings of Your Martyr" by Trivium. Is the solo really played by their producer? I was watching a video of some guy playing the solo on YouTube, and he said that their producer played the solo for that song. :\ Either way it's still an aweosme rock out song.

When you pull into a car-park, blasting Bostons "Only a Feeling" at maximum volume, with a car full of people playing air-guitar, people know you mean business

AlexAttack · « **Reply #38 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 05:26 »

Ignite - A place called home
Ramones - Bonzo goes to Bitsburg
Lawrence Arms - Are you there Margaret? Its me, God
David Bowie - Changes

These are songs that should be played pretty loud , so you get the full effect of the tune.

"The Wolf is Loose" by Mastodon. It's my getting pumped music.

SuperSUGA · « **Reply #42 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 16:08 »

Any My Bloody Valentine
Blue Monday
Dinosaur Jr.

Mars, Bringer of War, is a great example too. That has to be really loud.

jeph · « **Reply #43 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 17:13 »

Anything/everything by Hum.

"Demon of the Fall" and "The Leper Affinity" by Opeth.

All of Wages of Sin by Arch Enemy (although I recommend skipping over "Starbreaker").

Just about all minimal techno sounds better the louder you play it.

Mr u Suk · « **Reply #44 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 17:59 »

All of LadyTron and all of Dragonforce

for Dragonforce it better be loud, because there is no way it should be played softly

Freezey · « **Reply #45 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 20:38 »

Every song from this album. yeah.

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #46 on:** 11 Feb 2007, 23:07 »

Shit Luck by Modest Mouse!
I'm Not Invisible by Rocket From The Crypt
Remedy by Hot Water Music
The whole of Mr. Beast

Oh man Shit Luck is the loudest song.

Also Brand New Cadillac by the clash.
