Far too many to list here, but at this very moment "You can't always get what you want" (Rolling Stones, from "Let it Bleed") is pumping the speakers good 'n proper.

'Rockin In The Free World' by Neil Young is one, along with any similar rock based track of his.
Just about anything by AC/DC

"Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Reilly" by (of course!) The Who. Doesn't get much better at full volume.

Oh - and another one: The whole of "Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars" by Bowie (his best album ever, in my opinion). The louder the better!

I turn up most Ricky Nelson tunes when it is time for a blistering fifteen second telecaster guitar solo by James Burton! Laughing

My 'Drive-by Truckers' CDs (I had Southern Rock Opera playing in the car this afternoon)
My 'Hamsters' CDs
The Madding Crowd by Ninedays. Especially when 'Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)' comes on. It brings back memories of a great holiday I had in Canada back in 2000, it was regularly heard on the car radio!

Almost everything sounds better with the volume turned up!

Especially...

Come Together - Beatles
My Girl - Temptations
Hocus Pocus - Focus
Stardust - Nat King Cole
Finlandia - Sibelius

Love Train-The O'Jays- surely no one on the planet can not get up and dance their flares off etc when this song is played at full volume.

Superb record.

I was playing "What is Life?" by George Harrison (featuring the guitar of the great Eric Clapton) from "All Things Must Pass" very loud in the car earlier.

It's very good. Johnnie Walker has been known to play it in his various shows, usually when he feels like blowing a few cobwebs out of the studio!

Of course, he can still play it in his new show, given that it's from the beginning of the 1970s.

Another loud track that sounds great when played.. er.. loud: "21st Century Schizoid Man" by the inimitable King Crimson. Yeah man!

Just been playing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones (as if anybody needed reminding!) in the car. Very loudly. Very loudly indeed.

Naughty - but nice! Smile

Hi ho silver lining - Jeff Beck, reminds me of (Radio) Caroline Roadshows.
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams, just love this and I've got it on my phone as a ringtone.
Won't back down - Tom Petty, my theme tune. I hate any sort of unfairness or injustice and will defend something to the death if I believe in it enough.
