Scorpions - The Sails of Charon Iron Maiden - Two Minutes to Midnight Judas Priest - Saints in Hell and the mind melting assault... Sabbath - Into the Void
Thanks. This is THIS thread. Because Gorts only know if the others are locked by now. Can't have it both ways ya know Anyway Koss may or may not have God (I believe religious posts are prohibited), but he sure as heck had a vibrato to die for. And just to stay on topic, I nominate "The Hunter". Good grief crank it up peeps!
Some other Bowie tracks were mentioned - though I would start with It' s No Game #1, followed by Ricochet and then go for the kill and get the gasoline for the Giorgio Moroder version of Cat People - an experience...
There's a million of 'em. The Clash's "Safe European Home" seems to really inform me these days... POW!!! "Well I just got back and I wish I never leave now (where'd ya go?)..."
A lot of good ones here. Here are a couple I still like to crank up. Knife-Edge, Emerson Lake and Palmer 21st Century Schizoid Man. King Crimson
recently enjoying cranking 'LA' and 'Don't be denied' from the Neil Young ORS LP 'time fades away' another reliable cranker by neil is 'come on baby let's go downtown'
I do indeed experience volume as a , er, flavor, but only relative volume. For me it's a contextual thing. So while the dynamics of a piece are a crucial aspect of the music, the overall volume, for me, is not, as long as I have a good system, and the ability to tweek a bit to adjust for volume changes. With a tiny bit of tweeking I can listen to Spanish Castle Magic at a pretty quiet volume and it still curls my toes. This doesn't reflect some kind of "point" I'm trying to make, in fact I was as surprised as anyone to find out the degree to which this is true (for me). an example: in early 1977 A friend of mine came back from a business trip to London and brought with him a stack of 45's he called "punk" I didn't have a clue as this stuff had zero presence over here. he played them all to me on a little singles player he'd had since 1958!!! one of those little toy gizmos for kids. Anyway, I was fairly interested in this cool stuff, until .... I hit Anarchy in the UK and it was all over. I made him play it maybe four times and then stopped playing any more stuff. I knew I'd found IT. Whatever those other guys were shooting for, this one DID IT. Major moment for me. But the volume was about a 1 on this little kids toy record player. The impact couldn't have been greater. As big a moment for me as the first time I heard Sea of Love (1956 I believe).
