Topic: Classic songs that "Go To 11"

Are there songs … no matter how many times you’ve heard them on the radio … u reach for the volume knob to turn it up 1 Louder when it comes on?

(this is assuming you still have a radio station in your area that plays music you enjoy smile … satellite / streaming stations can count for this exercise. smile )


3 that come to mind for me …

Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions
https://youtu.be/CGfKi6kpdTQ (XGamer16)


Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer
https://youtu.be/deM14SdTqNE (TheClassicRewind)


Foreplay / Long Time - Boston

Thank you reo ... for your classical classic's ... beautiful pieces of music indeed.


For some around my age ... when we hear Barber of Seville ... one image immediately comes to mind ...  probably remembering the first time we heard it ... forgive me ... (you can jump to the 1:00 minute mark ... to save a minute. smile

Wow, another John Denver fan smile.  Based on the first song, I'm guessing you've been to lots of Oriole games? I don't know about cranking up the volume to 11 so to speak, but I've loved John Denver since I was a young teen.  Played many a JD song on the guitar back in the day.

Anyway, "classic" (older) 11 (kick @ss rock) selections...

Back in Black, Hells Bells - ACDC
Walkin' the Dog, Back in the Saddle, Train Kept A Rollin' - Aerosmith
25 or 6 To 4 - Chicago
Pour Some Sugar On Me, Foolin', Rock of Ages - Def Leppard
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
Free Ride - Edgar Winter Group
We're an American Band - Grand Funk Railroad (excellent call RoadcaseBoy!)
Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine - Guns 'N Roses
Barracuda, Crazy on You - Heart
The Ocean, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, The Rover - Led Zeppelin
Swamp Music, That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Hair of the Dog - Nazareth (good call by Gary)
Time - Pink Floyd (quintessential high volume 11 "stereo speaker test" song back in the day)
Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo - Rick Derringer
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
Renegade - Styx
Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
Hot For Teacher, Mean Street, Runnin' With the Devil - Van Halen
Baba O'Riley - The Who
La Grange - ZZ Top
