Post by: grog on Monday, 21 May 2018, 08:30 PM
just interested what songs you blokes find life long classics. songs that fire you up, just make you feel good. im as old as anyone on here so my choice probably too old for most.  hard choice. nothing like my old skool stuff sometimes, makes me feel good. turn up in car, only me to please. i came up with, 1/ Most People I know Think Im Crazy, Billy Thorpe. 2/ Like A Hurricane, Neil Young. 3/ Free Bird , Lynrd Skynrd.

I'm flat out trying to narrow down my 10 favourite artists, let alone three songs.

So keeping in mind the brief for 'upbeat' songs.
This list will have changed in about half and hour but at this moment ....

Jailbreak - AC/DC
Children of the Revolution - T.Rex  "I drive a Rolls Royce, coz it's good for my voice..."  :D
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

I used to live near Robbie Plant. He has a property near my parents farm. My sister used to go 10-pin bowling with him. Nice bloke, fits in well with the locals, down the shops, 5 aside footy for the pub. He did a guest turn at a local caravan park for a local fund raiser.

Anything by 5 Finger Death Punch.
Anything by AC/DC.
Anything by Shinedown.

5 Finger Death Punch is great to ride to, but it does tend to raise MPH to silly levels on the motorway :boogie:

Post by: Mick_J on Wednesday, 23 May 2018, 01:19 AM
I'm with Proteous on this but if pushed I would say anything by Manowar, Rammstein or Hammerfall although 5 finger death punch could be there.

Oh yeah and most things by The Clash, Def Leppard. Motorhead, Rammstein, AC/DC and Metallica.
Hmm that's more than three songs.

Maybe we need a 'name your 10 favourite bands/musicians thread.  That'd be fun.

PREACH IT LATTY!!  :boogie:

I've got pretty serious home theatre system, 4500 watts with 4x 12" Active Subs, when I listen to Wagners "Ring" or Carl Orffs "Carmina Burana" the Whole suburb listens to it.  :lol:

I started this post. Have listened/ learnt some great new music. Just glad i dont live near that 4800 sound system. Being fair i had a listen to the classical stuff. I also dont like the sound harleys make.

4500w isn't that much. Roughly the same as a good sized pubs live music PA. :onya:

Tbh, its just two 7.2 home theatre systems with linked, duplicated audio inputs allowing me to run either, neither, or both systems. 😁
