As the title implies, I'm wondering what your favourite song(s) to listen to at full volume are. Try to keep it to one song but 2-3 is fine as I know I have a few myself. For Myself [Dance On A Volcano - Genesis] [Vicarious - Tool] [Bitonio - Dün] -------------

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 |

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) -------------  |

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.

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. |

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? |

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/ |
