46. For me the answer is ALL THE SONGS

Tue Jun 2, 2026, 06:18 AM

Tuesday

I've loved LOUD music my entire life. A little bit less now that I'm old (and don't drink much), but many people my age say I'm blasting the tunes when to me it's normal listening volume.

ATM I'm sitting in the middle of a 4.1 system that can hit you like you're standing next to a speaker in a NYC nightclub at 11:50pm on New Years Eve, but sounds many times better.

Early songs I remember blasting when I was like 7-8 years old: Honky Cat + All of Side 1 of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. A Little Help From My Friends. Smackwater Jack. Down by the Lazy River. And pretty much all Creedence songs.
