Trying to think of epic songs to play on the big speakers later on. Evidence, Money for nothing, In the air tonight, School, Riders on the storm, Texas Flood, Das speigel etc

Got any more that will sound wicked on the surround sound? TIA

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins

Also test the low frequencies by playing any Sunn O))) song if you dare! Mwa ha haโ€ฆ.

  • Like a Prayer - Madonna
  • Bohemian Rhapsody and/or Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
  • any song from Wolfmothers first album
  • Civilisation (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) - Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters
  • Daddy Cool or Rasputin - Boney. M
  • Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes - Fall Out Boy
  • The End and then Dead! (consecutively) - My Chemical Romance
  • You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth - Meatloaf

That's all I can think of right now lol ๐Ÿ‘€

Thanks. There's some good ones there except for Meatloaf. Never Meatloaf.

To be fair, that's the only song of his I like and it wasn't even written by him. I'm smitten with the writer (same guy who does the monologue at the start with the lady).

Edit: Jim Steinman he's writen so many amazing classic songs ๐Ÿ˜

That AFL grand final performance traumatised me when it comes to Meatloaf.

๐Ÿ˜‚ I didn't like him before that so that just confirmed it.

A few from me, not my usual 80โ€™s stuff but would sound good.

Miss a thing - Kylie Minogue https://youtu.be/H-kHF9QXM8w?si=CThx_iH3jYayqm2Q

Bring me to Life by Evanescence https://youtu.be/vyzO-5vt48g?si=zC6owEQrQN81wdNo

Dangerous by Within Temptation https://youtu.be/Cdf2NrN_eug?si=XlKvhQ7UPd54lMGX

Move it Like you stole it - ZZ Ward https://youtu.be/SX1PDdQYkTQ?si=0ywzTtizMd4-ZJFc

Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. https://youtu.be/aXYzFIdXeG8?si=SQJAMe-nPBGPCA2p

Alive https://youtu.be/mnS5JqFojUw?si=j3d3pZtN81JN6ZhY

A Beautiful song - Nier Automata https://youtu.be/KJBUF-s15co?si=ThX0cGhxT1C3b-Kt

Not exactly the vibe I'm looking for tonight but I have some special biscuits in my cupboard that would go lovely with these. Definitely keeping this list. Thank you.

I concur with everything here!

Gosh I love Evanescence

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Some obscure ones there but glad you like them and I do love Evanescence too!

Yes. Perfect. You get me. This is my top driving song of all time. As well as Tusk by Fleetwood Mac.

[โ€“] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Tusk is track #1 on my running playlist. Sets the pace for a good run. On a good day, I could get about 900m by the end of the song.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Epic - Faith no more

Shut your mouth - Pain

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just played Epic 10 minutes ago. Howzat.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I should have expected it.
