<p>It occurred to me that there’s another category of music to be discussed: music that when you hear it, you automatically reach for the volume and turn it up as loud as you can. Or, in the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel in This is Spinal Tap, what do you turn up to 11?</p>
<p>One of my favorites to start: Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young.</p>
<p>I just can’t help myself … I turn it up every time, as directed.</p>
<p>Sweet Home Alabama.</p>
<p>Good Vibrations: the Beach Boys
especially when the Theremin kicks in, because that’s how we roll in So Cal.</p>
<p>As I just mentioned in the guitar riffs thread, Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith</p>
<p>Born to Run. And I roll down all the windows. Even in the middle of an Iowa Winter.</p>
<p>Kashmir (and, for this week, When the Levee Breaks)</p>
<p>I think my screen name gives it away. And lolou, sorry about those Iowa winters…</p>
