Rainbow - Stargazer

Marillion - Chelsea Monday

Genesis - Firth of Fifth

The first because it's so pompous, just needs to be listened at max, the two latter ones because they have so awesome guitar solos you just start floating and get all dizzy. I could live without food and water for weeks if I could listen to these three on max vol. on repeat.

Transatlantic was mentioned. I like that on low volume when the lights are off, from my headphones. It's really relaxing before falling asleep. "When you duel with the devil, living in your mind" \o_o/

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

The first song that comes to my mind is Porcupine Tree's Shallow from Deadwing. I can replay those opening chords again and again at max volume.

Steve Jenkins' music may be the ultimate music, especially when blasted at full volume. His music just SCREAMS and POUNDS at you when it's that loud

I can't play anything at max volume - that would shred the wallpaper and probably cause structural damage to my house.
 
However, I do play music very loudly when I can, especially Metal, which has to be loud by definition.
 
The non-metal albums I like to play very loudly are Tangerine Dream's Force Majeure and Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.
What?

I just got Scott Walker's The Drift. The second track, Clara, is absolutely menacing; perfect for playing at bone rattling level.

Well certain things have different effects when loud.

Awaken by Yes is even more ambient and amazing when it's cranked to high hell.

But listening to Lemmings by Van der Graaf is my favorite max volume song.

Anything my Meshuggah and Opeth (especially Mouth Licking what you've bled and When though)
Tool - The Grudge, Eulogy, Hooker with a Penis
Dream Theatre - Glass Prison
VDGG - Man Erg, Sleepwalkers
KC - Level Five, Facts of Life, Red, In The Court
Anathema - Wings of God

It goes on. And on. And on.

But answering your question, my all time favourite out of those would have to be The Grudge, when it finally kicks in at about 3 minutes. Utter brilliance.
