There aren't many loud runs of my oh-so-eccentric music at home, because the neighbours don't like it when people aren't very "neighbourly"...but then there's the car, with its lust for reckless driving and thirst for trepidation at high speed, only quenched through loud and stimulating music. One can't deny the car its needs, so off the Rockmobile goes in the night with:

King Crimson - Red
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Tool - Grudge
Van Halen - Pleasure Dome
Paatos - Sensors
Rainbow - Kill the King
Threshold - Light and Space
Anekdoten - The Great Unknown

and also:
Morte Macabre - Lullaby (not exactly an absolute thrill instigator, but very unsettling track to play on the "road less traveled")
Pain of Salvation - Her Voice (one used to blast an emotional barrage, through the headphones' damaging volume)

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

Here's ten I always turn the volume up on:

Can - Mother Sky
Don Cherry - Chenrezig
Byard Lancaster/Sonny Sharrock - Satan
Magma - Stöah
Enslaved - The Dead Stare
King Crimson - Fracture
Henry Cow - Half Asleep, Half Awake
PFM -  Impressioni di Settembre
Slayer - War Ensemble
Tangerine Dream - Fly and Collision of Comas Sola


Except that they're all some of my favorite tracks, I can't find much logic to it. The tracks generally tends towards hard, dark, frenetic or somewhat catchy... maybe.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

ha! great idea for a topic!

listened to “once“ by BLACKFIELD in my car this morning.
this one needs to be at least at 11, esp. when that
massive guitar riff comes in.
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

First three that came to mind (or maybe I'm just stealing from other posters):
King Crimson - Fracture
Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity
Tool - 46 and 2 (many songs by tool are best at high volume, but this one stands out for me)

However, for the sake of the thread:
 
Kayo Dot---Gemini becoming the tripod
Neurosis---Aeon
Melvins & Lustmord---Pigs Of The Roman Empire


mmm hmmm. ill add boris's Genbo Ki to that list.

basically every godspeed! song.

Echoes - floyd

EDIT - oh and Ride of the Valkyries obviously. listening to that song at less than deafening volume is a crime against humanity.
