Blarin' away!

Which Gordon L. songs do you like to turn up the volume to when listening to them? Most of his songs aren't meant to be played loud, but on some songs, a persons 2nd childhood kind of kicks in.
I'm not at all in favor of playing music with the radio turned up real loud, but every now and then I like to turn the volume up a bit.(Not so loud I can be heard with the windows up 100 ft away)
Heres my list:
Endless Wire
Dream Street Rose
The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
Ghosts Of Cape Horn
Waiting For You
Too Much To Lose
All The Lovely Ladies
Someone To Believe In

Rosanna
A Lesson In Love
Fading Away

A Lesson In Love may seem an odd choice, but I like to listen--at high volume--to those "little doubled guitar things" (that would be the technical term, I believe).

Sorry,but...none of them! I listen to Gord to quiet my thoughts,not blow out my brains (with the volume that is.) Nope,not even Broken Dreams or Endless Wire. Shhh. It's quiet time. Night.

Actually, I don't do like most teens and turn the volume up so loud that you can hear it all the way down the street, but I do turn it up loud just on certain songs. But for the rest of the time, you are quite able to hear yourself think when listening to Gord at the volume I'm comfortable with.

Never occurred to me to do with Lightfoot. His isn't the sort of music I would want to hear blaring. Now Melissa Ethridge, certain Tom Petty songs yes. And I keep two "Live" CD's in the car just for occasions when I feel like blaring something loud. Used to use an old Metalica CD but that got misplaced somewhere along the way.

I have to admit, in spite of the fact that I'm a middle aged woman, and the fact that it probably doesn't do a whole lot for my reputation to have music blaring loudly from my car, I still can't resist cranking up the car stereo, all 1500 watts of it, when Sundown is playing. It's great therapy to drive along a deserted country road, windows rolled down, the wind blowing in your hair, the subwoofer thumping to the point where images in the rear view mirror are just a blur. I think, if I'm still driving at age 90 (that is if I'm still alive at age 90, in which case, if I'm not, I'd better not drive), I'll still crank it up when Sundown comes on.

I play Gord LOUD! I like to be totally encompassed by his music! It embarrasses the daylights out of my teens when they are in the car with me because not only is the music loud...the windows are down, too! In fact, our small town just passed a new "loud music" ordinance and my kids are worried that I will be getting pulled over soon and forced to pay a fine! They are probably more worried that they might be IN the car with me when it happens!

Well about 15 years ago my niece said "Uncle Bill if it's too loud you're too old" and I've never heard Gord too loud so I guess I'm still OK. Rock on Gord!!

"If it's too loud,you're too old?" What kind of non-sense is that? I've never agreed with that idea. There are some of us who just don't like that sort of thinPersonally,I have never liked my music LOUD. My brothers did and that's most likely why. I got so tired of coming home from school and they'd be blaring KISS or Zepplin or Judas Priest or some other group getting kickbacks from ear-plug sales! I like these group now but I dont blast out my speakers. I wonder how I survive the few rock concerts i did go to with them! Later!

That must've really been tuff. I HATE having to listen to someone elses music loud. I only play it loud when I'm alone(if I even want to play it loud at all). In fact, I hardly play music when someones around.
I also feel sorry for Oma's kids. I know how they must feel.

Yeah, I'm a mean mom...just ask my kids!!! I make them go to bed at a reasonable time, eat good food, take them to the doctor when they are sick, I don't let them run around town, I don't let them watch non-age appropriate movies, I make them brush their teeth, I had braces put on one of them, I make them do chores AND they have to listen to my music when they are in the car with me! Poor kids...so unloved! LOL

Oma! I'll never understand why kids hate their parents music. It's not like the parents are forcing them to listen to it. I mean,are teens that afraid to acknowledge that something existed before eminem? (I refuse to capital his name.) I guess I don't understand because my brothers and I liked our parents music (late '40s to 1963). My mother liked KISS and other rock bands of the'70s&'80s. My dad never really liked anything beyond the mid-'70s,to my knowledge. If he really hated anything it was the emergence of hip-hop 13 years ago. I don't mind it too much. As for right now,I like a handful of acts. Norah Jones,The Thorns,Nelly (yes,Nelly!),Destiny's Child & Beyonce and definetly Alicia Keys. I don't want to become to out of it because there are good acts out there,you just have to pay attention. Been me,later!

Wait until you have kids and they hit their teenage years. You'll have to survive it all over again. I remember coming home from work and seeing my picture window pulsating to Matt's stereo, back in his MC Hammer days.

Can't touch this. Da, da, da, da... da, da... da, da...

And I don't want to even think about how many times I had to endure Vanilla Ice.

I lucked out. My firstborn preferred headphones, and when he DID have music on, he was trying out classic rock stuff (must have heard it in utero <g> ). Our daughter, on the other hand, has been into Eminem (yech on soooo many counts) but also the Brittany/Avril/Beyonce type.

Lately, however, she has found country music - which her father HATES but I don't mind. We can really freak him out singing together to "Beer for My Horses" or "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem." Heh heh heh.

Actually I grew up listening to Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble on Sunday nights; it was the real thing, old-timey, with fiddles, high keening voices, and clog dancing (on the radio, no less.) Today's country is so much more "pop" than it used to be. But I'm still a child of the 60s, at least the, uh, rock-n-roll. Love it.

Closest I can say to having kids is my God-Daughter of my last girlfriend. It breaks my heart to say but she's 9 and says Gordon is,and I quote,BORING! This from a Britany Spears junkie. In fact,she finds anything before the 80s boring. (She was born in '94.) Her loss! Later!

Keep on playing "boring" ol' Gord; when she gets a few years beyond 9 she may appreciate it (if for no other reason than nostalgia for her youth - round about 20.)
