The scenario: Wife and kids are away for the night, beer and pizza have been consumed, amp and speakers are 'warmed up nicely' - time for the kind of volume enhancement that frightens the neighbour's cats - so what do you play?
My starters:
Sugar - Copper Blue - The Act We Act
Teenage Fanclub - Starsign
Shack - Natalie's Party
Blondie - Union City Blue
British Sea Power - Oh Larson B
Japandroids - HeartSweats
Sparklehorse - Someday I Will Treat You Good
Son Volt - Driving The View

Little Richard - Lucille
The Saints - This Perfect Day
Lyres - She Pays The Rent
The Nomads - King Of Night Train
MC5 - Sister Ann

and then I'd put on a Jimmy Reed album and relax with that
before I read who posted that
I guessed it was the Rank Badjin frae thi So'Side, yer so predictable LOL
*re-fills glass of Laphroaig*
Is that because you could hear the first track blasting our across our fair city ?
Nah!

refills glass of Isla Negra Merlot

I'm now calling in an air strike from Scandinavia :

And once they are through, we are transferring control to Tucson :
The Supersuckers - The Evil Powers Of Rock & Roll, followed by That Is Rock & Roll
Jimmy Reed will have to wait

We only play vinyl - CD never sounds as good.
It's getting to the time of the evening when you might put on...
... "Spiritual Unity" by the Albert Ayler Trio.
The neighbours' cats will be miaowing for mercy.

I think it's time for The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Vol 1.

Carl!! I'm with you!
Copper Blue is the first cd in the tray when things need to get loud and the house is empty. Plus I have my favourite guitar slung low and the amp turned up as well. Lots of rock 'n' roll poses whilst jumping on the furniture.
Next is Heaven and Hell. Then Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace.
A couple of tracks off each. Then some sitting down and getting my breath back.
so that'll be
Black Sabbath ~ Heaven and Hell
The Pink Floyd ~ Echoes
Sevendust ~ Silence
Guns n' Roses ~ Patience
and
Tony Iommi and Glen Hughes ~ Grace
no?
Ace Of Spades
requires 12, 11 just won't do.
but don't
forget the Joker...
and so to bed
Led Zeppelin
Since I've Been Loving You
that's all
Stiltskin
Inside.
This single exists for loud moments sans FPO, post beer & pizza.
I started an iTunes playlist...
...for just such occasions only last week. A few highlights:
Lucinda Williams: Righteously
Ryan Adams: This Is It
Taj Mahal: Statesboro Blues
Warren Zevon: Disorder In The House
Ian Hunter: Once Bitten Twice Shy
ZZ Top: She Loves My Automobile
Rammstein: Benzin
Guided By Voices "Eureka Signs"
kicks muthaf**kin` ass as they say, The Who would have been proud to have wrote this.
These also sound great at full blast:
The Prisoners "Hurricane"
The Fleshtones "I Am What I Am"
Motorhead "Ace of Spades"
Discharge "Ain`t No Feeble Bastard"
The Rezillos "Flying Saucer Attack"
Black Flag "Nervous Breakdown"
Wire "The Art of Stopping"
hmmm
I guess the list would include:
Pearl Jam - Rearview Mirror
Teenage Fanclub - Sparkys Dream
