Which song do you turn up?

[Thisthreadhasbeendeleted]

Inspired by a recent debate on 2 threads about the 'worst place to live in the UK' which was countered by an alternative 'best place to live in England', there was a thread titled 'what song do you turn off?'

So, I'd like to ask, which song do you turn UP (if you can)? A song that you could play anytime you feel like it, but if it comes on the radio in the car or you hear it out somewhere, gives you chills or puts a smile on your face?

My first one is 29 Palms by Robert Plant. It's such a 'radio song' and I LOVE radio. Some of aul Percy's earlier solo stuff was pure guff but, for me, this song has aged so so well. It's gorgeous, and it transports me back to young teenhood in the early 90s.

I bloody love a full volume sing! I’ve got a dreadful singing voice, but at least in the car… no one can hear you scream!😄

12 to 12 by Sombr
We Built this City by Starship

Both of those are on the radio a lot.

Boys of Summer by Don Mclean like others have mentioned.
Breakthru by Queen

Boston - More than a Feeling
Marrillion - Kayleigh

ZZ Top - Sharped Dress Man

Naked in the Rain
Common People
You Get What You Give
You Oughta Know
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Mr Brightside

and loads more!

Love Shack - B52's

Dance the night away - The Mavericks

You and I, part 2 - Fleetwood Mac

Hotel California - Eagles

Groove is in the heart - Deee lite

House of the Rising Sun - The Animals (because it's mum's favourite)

And many many more because I adore music.

I LOVE Kayleigh!

Rhythm of the Night by Corona(?)

a Design for Life

Bitch by Meredith Brooks.

Alannah Myles - the subject of the song in my OP 😀

Two great choices 👍
For a modern day choice I will add “Choosing Texas” Ella Langley.

My Turn up and sing along ( only on my own ) songs are :
Echo Beach, Martha and the Muffins
Used to particularly love it if it came on when I was travelling to from work (and better of course on the way home ).I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where you get to see the sea on nearly every local trip.

Also, A New England - preferably the Kirsty McColl version

And, God only Knows , Beach Boys- probably most romantic song ever ..

You don't know me - Armand van Helden
Insomnia - Faithless
Saltwater - Chicane

Most 90s/Naughties club classics!

Boys of Summer by Don Henley. Cannot resist throwing my head back and bellowing along. One of these days I’ll have an accident.

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man
Let's Groove Tonight - Earth Wind and Fire
Firestarter - Prodigy

Dancing in the dark, the boss

Even better if it's the version with the Simion/Maurice LaMarche intro.
'What was my problem with man, you ask? No! I ask YOU! What was man's problem with me'?

I may have heard this song a bazillion times and I still love hearing it.

She Drives Me Crazy, Fine Young Cannibals

'Such a long way to go' love Michael McD too, & Ride Like the Wind is awesome.
Yes yes to The Beloved

Great choices! I've seen Mogwai & Throwing Muses live 😍

Love 80s American hard core - Black Flag, Bad Brains, Hüsker Dü. Sorry Somehow gets turned up LOUD when I'm on my own & I belt it out & pretend I can sing

Love Pulp. Really good singalong songs 😃

Cars and Girls or King of Rock and Roll - Prefab Sprout
