5. A song that needs to be played loud
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise

Watch on YouTube

Literally. You have not heard MBV until you've heard them at ear-splitting volume. Kevin Shields writes songs that are supposed to harmonize with the screaming in your eardrums. Live, the breakdown in the middle of this song can go on for 20 minutes of blissful chaos. No, of course it's not healthy, but it's incredible.

That's not for me, but "supposed to harmonize with the screaming in your eardrums" is a hell of a description :))

Thanks! It's as close as I get to explaining it. There's this weird thing that happens when you're getting hammered by 120+ decibels of noise where your entire body - and especially your head - turns into a resonating chamber and just starts feeding back.
