Songs!
This week’s prompt, which is much more fun than last time: “A song that needs to be played LOUD”.
When my son was in high school, it was finally time to teach him the facts of life. I waited until the womenfolk were going to be gone for the night, rented the right movie to illustrate the lesson, and told him “Son, this is what happens when four men love rock a lot more than they don’t so much care for each other.” And then we watched:

Which features several versions of this, in all its nihilistic glory. Tell them all to effing go away and crank the tunes up to 11.
Once again, in your responses use a URL like:

Youtube’s suggested sharing format

doesn’t appear to work in comments. Also, put the URL on a line by itself.
Obviously, it’s in the title.

Also, my top 3 by Sweet (Ballroom Blitz, Little Willie, Fox on the Run)Report
I have already used Swans, so I will not not go with them again. A lot of the music I listen to should be played loud.

Song that doesn’t make sense not-loud.

More than any other song this one makes me stop and turn up the dial… to 12 if I could.

For me it’s this one.

I can see why… the build to the 3:12 mark is phenomenal.
I’ve also been know to play this song a little too loudly… but then if *all* your Opera Chorale pieces aren’t hitting you in the chest, you’re not doing it right.

Bonus trivia: Cavalleria Rusticana is the opera from Godfather 3.
Further bonus trivia: Il Trovatore is the opera from A Night at the Opera, and that has another chorale that can be turned way up.

Another favorite… but I was going for more of a “deep tracks” take on it. 🙂
I also really like “Au fond du temple saint” from Bizet’s Les PĂŞcheurs de perles and play that much too loudly. Now that I think about it, I only really play Opera at max volume.Report
Sometimes, when I get back in the car, the radio is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too loud and I fumble to turn it down quickly and I think “why was I listening to the radio that loudly?!?” and then I remember that this was playing:

That title is awfully familiar.
The White Stripes announced the completion of Icky Thump on February 28, 2007. The title is derived from “ecky thump”, a Lancashire colloquial response of surprise, popularized by an episode of the 1970s UK comedy series The Goodies.
The Goodies were a Pythonish comedy trio. Their “ecky thump” was a Lancastrian martial art in which you hit your opponent over the head with a blood sausage.Report
Jack White stole a heck of a lot more than that for the song.
But, dang if that doesn’t make me want to turn it up more.Report

I take one, one, one cause you left me…
(the song has plenty of dynamic range. but the loud parts must be ALL THE LOUD.)

Thismy Violent Femmes that MUST be played loud

Must be played at a volume which allows everyone living in your dorm to listen along with you:

An AC/DC song played on the radio while driving for lunch. It doesn’t matter which one. They’re all the same song. (Though if I had to pick one to turn up loudest, it’d be “Whole Lotta Rosie”.)
This song also played on the way there. It needed to be turned up too:

I am loving this, my playlist for the drive next weekend is getting some new additions.Report
It’s a cover, but I think I like it better than the original.

That’s awesome!Report
Yeah, I was impressed. That group has some pretty cool covers (variety of kids).Report
And I’ve seen Metallica twice, but they haven’t played this song. The first time I saw them, they opened with “Battery,” “Master of Puppets,” and “Breadfan,” which was the best opening of any concert I’ve been to.
