Songs you should crank to "eleven"

[zephed]

Most songs sound best loud, but don't just name any song that sounds better loud than it does lower.

I'll start.

When the Levee Breaks-Led Zeppelin (I believe this was written my Memphis Minnie, a female (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3279629&page=&view=&sb=5& o=&fpart=all&vc=1) blues artist.)

In My Time of Dying-Led Zeppelin
Achilles Last Stand-Led Zeppelin
Communication Breakdown-Led Zeppelin
Helter Skelter-The Beatles
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)-Jimi Hendrix
White Room-Cream
Train Kept A Rollin-Yardbirds
Smokestack Lightning-Yardbirds
Time-Pink Floyd

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.


side note: once I was staying at the W in seattle. I walked into the elevator bay and blindly got into an elevator, went to hit my button and noticed there were only buttons for floors 21-40 or whatever. I jumped out and there's some guy that just walked into another elevator. I say "does this go to eleven?" and he says yes and I get on....about four seconds later we both start cracking up.

This is correct. Some other 11-worthy tunes in this thread. I'd also add almost everything from the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen. ("Ice Cream Man", "Unchained", "Panama", "Everybody Wants Some", etc etc etc - if it is playing, how can it not be at 11?)
