Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name
Ain’t No Sunshine - Bill Withers
That man has pipes.
I keep thinking about my MiL when I hear this song - “I don’t like him”. She was in the same circles as Bill back in the day - apparently he was not a nice guy to women. I turn the volume up when it’s on because the song’s damn good, but still…
The Killers - Mr. Brightside for me. Such a good song
Hasn’t left the UK top 100 singles chart for 372 consecutive weeks! Longest charting single of all time.
I blame the streaming algorithms for that one. It’s certainly a banger of a song but things like You Tube music can’t help but it insert it into any vaugley guitar based auto playlist I might listen to.
The Prodigy - Voodoo People
- Rammstein - Du Hast
- Def Leppard - Animal
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg
I feel like a bad X-ennial for not liking Nirvana as much as everyone else. I don’t skip their tracks, but I don’t exactly seek them out either.
I usually need to be in the mood for grunge to seek them out specifically among a few other bands too. But, if this song randomly comes on, I definitely turn it up. There’s no one stand out song from anyone that I’d say is my number 1 favorite, I like a lot of music.

So, so many, but off the top of my head…
- Fortunate Son by CCR
- One Word by Baby Animals
- The Boys of Summer by The Ataris
- Highway Tune by Greta van Fleet
- Rebel Yell by Billy Idol (also White Wedding)
- Onionskin by Boom Crash Opera
- Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac
- The Steeple by Halestorm
- Bow River by Cold Chisel
- Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil
- Hot Chilli Woman by Noiseworks
Plus almost anything by AC/DC, Foo Fighters, or with Chris Cornell.
Anything off of Parliament - Clones of Dr Funkenstein. Truly an underappreciated gem.
Oh ye gods, so many. But for the purpose of this thread…
Only One, by Slipknot.
Most Pink Floyd songs, they start with very low volume 😁
Who couldnt’t turn up the volume when listening to https://piped.smnz.de/watch?v=nGguUngluD4?!
Me. It’s the :::XcQ:::
Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock
100% genetically encoded
Porceilna of the Vast Oceans starts so quiet I always turn it up and then see if I can keep it up once it gets loud.
Yes! That was their opener when I saw them a few years back. I love love love longer songs that start off quiet/delicate and gradually ramp into the heaviness.
Planet Claire - B52’s
Own Private Idaho!
The Final Countdown is the ultimate volume changer for me.
Superstition by Stevie Wonder.
You specifically only asked for one but I’ll be a rebel and give you Cover You in Oil by AC/DC as a bonus.
