DAY #5 of the 30 Day Music Meme - A song you have to play loud

[shadowkat]

I don't know. I don't tend to like "loud" but I admittedly do play and listen to a lot of "loud" music. This meme is hard. Particularly if you listen to music the way I do - which is mostly as background noise, to calm my nerves and in the past to sleep to. Actually it's why I have to be careful with Classical music, and the soundtrack to the Crow, which both put me to sleep.

You already knew I was a bit eccentric, this should not come as a surprise to you.

Sisinlaw: You are a bit eccentric.
Me: Says the woman who got married in a swimming pool by the Church of Craft.

Anyhow, there are various choices here...

I'm picking the Ramones...

Watch on YouTube

Although it was admittedly tempting to pick Beethoven's Ninth in D Minor, or Tina Turner's Proud Mary. But I'm in a Ramones frame of mine lately.

Oh, you have to play the Ramones loud. Otherwise it's not the Ramones.

I really only play music in the car, and songs I love, I turn up until the whole car vibrates. Right now in the car I have a compilation Pat made for me called SOUL MUSIC FOR OLD WHITE PEOPLE, Keith Jarrett, Tom Petty, Steely Dan, and Mose Allison. Pat has something he likes in the car, but I can't remember what it is, because I tend to skip it. (grin)

Very true - and in particular that song. Other songs don't always require it - but anything by the Ramones does.

I'm not sure I've heard anything by Mose Allison - but keep in mind, I forget the names of songs, artists and albums all the time. I remember if it is drilled in my head.

When I drove - which feels like a century ago, wait it was - it was in the 20th Century - I would play tapes, and often the radio, but usually tapes. It kept me from cursing drivers. ;-)

But I don't remember what I played. We did however play this great mixed tape that my brother gave me - while in driving around Britain one summer - circa 1987 - it contained Pink Floyd's the Albatross, and Peter Gabriele.

Mose Allison is an old guy. (He's actually dead.) He was blues and jazz, and THE WORD FROM MOSE is one of the best albums ever. I own a ton of his stuff. Discovered him in college and never recovered.
