I like turning up most of the classic rock I listen to. Funny thing is that most of the current music I listen to, I have to turn it down because of the compression being used today.
R U Gonna Go My Way Live - check out Cindy. She's an even better jazz drummer but can rock out with the best of them! I was lucky enough to see this tour.
"Very funny." - Martin Bulloch, Mogwai I made this video out of and old 70's music video with a Danish dude doing a cover of Apache by The Shadows. Thanks for your great response to this video :)
I know the whole thing is a joke that Mogwai is having on (and with) us, but it's still still compelling. Perhaps the Mogwai overlay of music, the fond memories of the 70's, or perhaps I just find European women attractive, regardless of how badly they dance.
lately "Free Molten Gold" compilation & "Quicksilver Messenger Service Sons of Mercury", "Harry Nilsson 49 songs", Delaney & Bonnie Home, Jethro Tull Stand Up, Dave Mason Alone Together........the WAF says it's a mid-late life crisis.....LMFAOFF!!!!!!!!!cheers!!!!!!!
"My favorite things" from the soundtrack of The Sound of Music - you know "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" rock on dude!!! Metal out with Julie Andrews and the Von Trapps!!! True 60's psychadelic - if you remember the movie then you weren't there. The hell with distortion - this tune is why you need 125 dB peak horns because nothing else can deliver the live experience at the Bijou.
Crank up some re-mastered Beatles. If you have a good system tell me what you think of "just seventeen" from their first album or "Day Tripper." Many more, just great LOUD!
A couple of years ago I found a CD of Roger Daltry's concert at Canegie Hall, featuring the Juliard Orchestra. Before you get in a snit over how bad The Who must sound with french horn, bassoon and kettle drum, think about it. In actuality, many of the songs written by The Who are among some of the most lyrically and tunefully satisfying compositions of the 20th Century. Okay, this may be overboard, but as a listener and a musician, this album kindled in me an appreciation for that group, exposing a gap in my listening experience that is nearly embarrassing to mention. The arrangements were developed my Michael Kamen, and his direction is brisk, sure, and strong. Play this one up, LOUD.

Lately it's been "Kid Creole - Live" on the way to work. Loud enough to keep me awake on the commute. Loud enough so that - if I don't turn it down when I lower the window to swipe the card key reader for garage access, the attendants look at me kind of funny. Like: Who's the guy with the blaring Latin Jazz/Disco/Funk thing going on?
