you know the song...it starts up and you can just feel the adrenaline start pumpin'. so what songs do it for you? here's a few of mine...

Sugar- System of a Down
We Like to Party- Vengaboys 😀(im such a nerd 🙁)

Anything by Tupac.

Also some older Fugees, Tribe, some DMX, some BIG, etc...
A rare few rock/alternative songs also...
 
You guys are so....normal.

Final Fantasy Orchestrated music does it for me. Whoever did that sh!t are damn fine composers. But don't get me wrong, I listen to alot of other garbage. It's just that these Final Fantasy Masterpieces really lift you up.

I'm Alive (ELO)
No Limit (2 Unlimited)
Rock And Roll Part 2 (Gary Glitter)
O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana, Carl Orff)
Mama Weer All Crazee Now (Quiet Riot)

SlickWilly:

Nobuo Uematsu is the mastermind behind the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite, together with S. Hamaguchi. I love it, it´s my absolute favourite, and I am desperately seraching for comparable music, but i can`t find it! 🙁

I too listen to lots of other music, from Classical to Techno to Ska, but the Symphonic Suite is just perfect. 🙂

Final Fantasy VIII - Fisherman's Horizon (Orchestral)
Final Fantasy VIII - Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec (Regular)
Final Fantasy VIII - Fragments of Memories (Regular)
Final Fantasy VIII - Fragments of Memories (Orchestral)
Final Fantasy VI - Celestas Theme

Are some of my favorites, but actually I love them all! 🙂
 
Pet Shop Boys- Go West
Billy Joel- We didn't start the fire
Street Fighter- Instrumental songs
Enigma- Return to innoocence/Sadness(don't ask why)
Enrique Iglesias- cosas del amor

Any John Williams score(the action oriented ones).

Not hardcore to y'all by any means but it does the job for me😉

 
Red, you just blew my mind!!! I honestly cannot believe that ANYONE else, in this day and age, had ever heard of Mahavishnu Orchestra! And the Birds of Fire album to boot!! I bought that album when it first came out! 'Course I haven't been able to listen to it since my turntable bit the dust, but I remember it well..... How about an album by the drummer Billy Cobham - Spectrum, or the electric violinist Jerry Goodman - Ariel?
Ever heard them? If you haven't, check 'em out! -kd5-
 
John McLaughlin rules! (after Frank Zappa off course) 😉

Pick Up The Pieces (Average White Band)
 
most of the slipknot songs (sic, wait and bleed, surfacing, purity) and korn (blind, lies, falling away from me, trash, make me bad)
 
Any song that starts in with heavy, overdriven, enunciated guitar riffs, or songs that start out slow and build up suddenly to a breakneck speed. Pretty much any old Metallica, MegaDeth, etc.




Loud, I wanna hear it loud, right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud, don't want no compromise.
- Gene Simmons
 
Hehe Red Dawn, 🙂

Listening to Dina Moe Hum still makes me want to grab a toke! But overall, I prefer his One Size Fits All and Fillmore East, June 1971 albums. Apostrophe, Roxy And Elsewhere, We're Only In It For The Money (unlike Metallica 😉) and Bongo Fury are also amongst my favourites.
😉

"Mmm, tweezers...Lemme sterilize them. Give me your lighter!"

Zappa Forever! 😀

I'm The Slime (Frank Zappa)
 
Red, the Italian band wouldn't be Premiata Forneria Marconi (or PFM for short) would it? I have 1 album by them (Photos of Ghosts), 5 albums by Brand X: Unorthodox Behaviour, Moroccan Roll, Livestock (my favorite), Product, XTRAX, plus one by Jack Lancaster and Robin Lumley called Marscape.

How about a German band called Can? Or a French band called Gong? Or Curved Air? Sh*t! I could go on and on!!!

My entire album collection (465) is devoted to the extraordinary! -kd5-

I forgot to mention that I also have Weather Report, Mysterious Traveller and Heavy Weather. Tom Scott & The LA Express, Passport, Jean-Luc Ponty, Jean-Michel Jarre, and many others.....
 
At 16 I thought Ruth Underwood was sooooooooooooooo sexy! She could have played my bongos anytime. 🙂

The only PFM album I have is Cook. I saw them in Toronto in 1974, playing with ELP's old equipment. LOL

The Torture Never Stops (Frank Zappa)
