I was listening to a few tracks in the car this morning, and it got me thinking - what is your favourite track(Drunk for listening at volumes that really shouldn't be permitted?

I think my two would have to be Nirvana's Where Did You Sleep Last Night from the unplugged album, and Ringfinger from NIN's Pretty Hate Machine...as long as I don't blow the cones on the latter (bit bass-heavy).

'Blackwater Park' by Opeth.

The best song written by the best band. Whenever it's on the stereo it gets cranked to 11!!!

Re: What is your favourite track to play at earsplitting volume?

good question...although not particularly a rock fan, Black Sab's 'Paranoid' and Motorhead's 'The Ace of Spades' sound great loud. Also how about 'Whole Lotta Love', Darkness 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman', Sparks 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us'.

God, I sound like a rock fan!!! erm...redeem redeem...YES! Oasis, 'Headshrinker' or 'Columbia' off-of the first album

Re: What is your favourite track to play at earsplitting volume?

Hmmm, this is a good thread and has raised many questions in my mind. When I could hear I was a huge rock fan so anything would have sufficed!

But I think, now that I can't hear, the tweeter splitting harmonies of "Constant Craving" by K.D.Lang would be a good choice as it would allow those in the immeadiate area to "enjoy" the constant tinnitus and indeed hearing loss - that now blights my life.

I'm a cruel man.

Haven`t played it for awhile now but I used to love listening to Saxons `747 Strangers In The Night` on the headphones at a level that thinking back, probably wasn`t wise.

Jeezus! That takes me back! Nothing like a bit of 'The Eagle has landed' or 'This town knows how to rock' to blow the cobwebs away!
