Songs to Test Your Speaker System

September 30th 2010 23:31
ACDC, Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, Music, Fan, Autographs, Hollywood, itunes, ipad, Virgin, Back and Black, Fame, Famous
Crank it up . . .
For some of us, this weekend presents a chance to kick back and leave a few of our worries at the door, then either chill or max the volume out on the mp3 or CD player.


Music has always been an escape, and depending on your mood the eclectic mix available to the garden variety pop and rock connesuir is phenomenal.

But no matter if you're a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons fan, The Doobies, Def Leopard or Metallica, there are some songs which just need to have the volume turned up to 10!

Classics like Meatloaf's 'Bat out of Hell', The Eagles "Heartache Tonight" and almost anything from ACDC top my list - but what tops yours?

. . . and don't worry - if ABBA cranked up to the max and belting out Ring Ring is your cuppa tea - well live and let live I say . . .

In my day (as if my day were done) record stores regularly used ELP's Pictures at an Exhibition or Brain Salad Surgery (Toccata, Jerusalem, or KarnEvil9 pt. 2, usually) for potential buyers to test the stereo speakers before purchasing. Either of these were "the" album to wipe out your ears or your sound system.

21st Century Schizoid Man was made to peel the paint off the walls, so crank up the volume!

Other greats,

Yes, Roundabout or Closer to the Edge album

Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells

Metallica, Enter Sandman

Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water

Allman Bros., Whipping Post

Fleetwood Mac, the Chain (a great electric solo)

You know what, Ring Ring by ABBA is not a bad shout!
Is it really sad to admit that I am currently addicted to 'Alejandro' by Lady GaGa and 'We No Speak Americano' by Yolanda B Cool?
It is, isn't it....I'm going now.... xx

Long live 'the day' I say.

Sometimes there's just not enough getting of Smoke on the Water (every budding young guitarists first genuine attempt at being cool) or even Yes for that matter.

I concur wholeheartedly . . .

You know, I vivedly recall ABBA blasting out from car cassette decks back in the mid-70s - mostly owned by guys who would normally be more into ACDC or Def Leopard trying to impress girls - not entirely sure it worked . . .

Thanks for stopping by

Mr. NG thanks for the note. I did do some AC/DC blasting off of my friend's 8-track in her dark bronze/gold Toyota wagon (the color of the decade) during high school lunch breaks. I did have two ABBA albums. Sleek production. I always got a kick out of Mike Oldfield covering an ABBA song. You should do a column on very different cover versions of popular songs.

I guess we could listen to Alejandro on full throttle. I just like some meat with my potatoes, though!
