I saw some chatter about this topic, whilst lurking about at Chatzy and thought it might make for some interesting discussion/lists here at the board.

Usually they seem to be something from your teenage years or childhood that bring back memories of cruising with your friends or whatever. So, if they're kinda cheesy picks, that's to be expected, I suppose.

So, what be they?

Me (I got 12 that I can think of off the top of my head):
"Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except for Me and My Monkey)" - The Beatles
"You've Got Another Thing Coming" - Judas Priest
"Shake Your Rump" - Beastie Boys
"The Cowboy Song" - Thin Lizzy
"Do Ya" - The Move
"Sally MacLennane" - The Pogues
"I Against I" - Bad Brains
"Superstar" - Pegboy
"Stay Free" - The Clash
"Me and My Friends" - Fishbone
"Swords of a Thousand Men" - Tenpole Tudor
"Chartered Trips" - Hüsker Dü

You?

Sounds Im most likely to crank up:

First things that come to mind are
Hells Bells - AC/DC (almost anything off BiB)
Black Sabbath - Iron Man (again almost anything off Paranoid).

Of course there are a hell of a lot of others.. but there you go.

albums off the top of my head. I know you said songs, but both those albums demand respect volume-wise.

Mogwai - Glasgow Mega-Snake
