OK, this is way off topic. For those of you in my situation... What songs do you blame for your less-than-perfect hearing?
I'll start.
1. Hell is for Children - Pat Benatar (my first love)
2. One - Metallica
3. My '69 big block Corvette

Summertime Blues- Blue Cheer
Born to be Wild- Steppenwolf
And all the hours spent in the garage learning to play with my friends and the garage band that helped pay for college. I can remember comeing home from concerts and talking with the radio in the car on. Getting up the next morning to go to school or work and the radio being turned up so loud. Ears ringing the next day from sound pressure levels.

What song??? How about the blast of a turbojet engine as it is catapulted off of a carrier deck? That probably did most. Other than that I guess I'd have to say Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hindrix, Janis Joplin among others played a part.

Rush, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, AC/DC, Molly Hatchet, most of the 80's hair bands - but the biggest factor -Judas Priest - I once had a friend tell me to pull over at the begining of "Breaking the Law" because the Alpine speakers in the back of my 1975 Camaro were blaring the sirens at ear splitting levels - he thought an officer was behind us.....

If it's going to be loud and it's in the jeep, just about anything by The Who while Keith Moon was still drumming, especially:
1. My Generation
2. Happy Jack (great drums, just forget the Hummer)
3. Baba O'Riley
4. Won't Get Fooled Again
5. I Can See for Miles
also Steely Dan's "Bodhisattva"

I play this song in my jeep.
Back Seat
LL Cool J
ah yeah
I wanna send this one out to all the jeep lovers worldwide
city to city, ghetto to ghetto
some flavor for you and yours
and your jeep
you're the type of girl that got class and style
still in all you need the backseat of my jeep once in a while
so I pull up to your door to give you what you're looking for
unh, hardcore
I know you wanna come...in my jeep
we can park on a back street
you're checkin' out my carphone, scopin' out my jewelry
let's do this in a hurry
air freshener is kickin', drive through for chicken
I know you need a good stickin'
that's when I see my man Snoop
peace, what up kid? loungin' duke
as I turn the corner, starin' in your cornier
you're gettin' hornier and hornier
I'm pumpin' up a blint tape (flavor)
you're legs is incredible, I do a double take
you're puttin' on your lipstick
I wanna give you this big fat...(yeeeaaa)
quick, I know a place where we can lounge and cool, don't sleep
(where at?) back seat of my jeep
[Chorus]
back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode
back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode
back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode
back seat of my jeep, let's swing an ep'
I'm pullin' over near your building
I light a candle on the dashboard, we're chillin'
I knew a girl like you would love a scene like this
you got class but deep down you're real freakish
you got it all, but you never had a wild episode
that's when me and my jeep showed
up with the funk in the trunk and
hittin' it, we're spunkin'
I'll even get you drunk and tipsy
'cause I know you're feelin' frisky
you love it 'cause it's wild and risky
you got your eyes on the hood
you're up to no good
I took you in the back, you hoped I would
you got your black on black so stacked in the back
while I'm pumpin' in the CD I'll skip a track
windows are foggy
and, uh, back seat treats in the streets could be a hobby
and you ain't in between the Isley Brothers' sheets
I give it to you real raw in the backseat
that's how you want it, don't ya? (yeah)
you'll tell your girlfriends, won't ya? (nah)
don't lie
take it in your eye (why?)
so buckle up, buckle up
what's my name? what's my name? what's my name? what's my name? huh
I never knew a four wheel drive could be so live
I'll put your numbers in the archives
so take 'em off, and put them things on the mirror girl
it's my jeep and your world
you got it going on lovely, time to do the right thing
'cause I can tell you wanna swing
[Chorus]
we're bonin' on the dark blocks
wearin' out the shocks, wettin' up the dashboard clock
seats full of sweat, I told ya I would hit it
your kitty, kitty, cat, cat, was hungry so I fed it
workin' as a team
somebody, anybody [scream]
jump with me to the cash bar
I'll be like Bruce Lee in them skins goin' "waahhh"
damn, it's so good, the mad grip on my tip
you're still a nice girl but my jeep makes ya flip
you go wild and stick your toes on the roof (yeah yeah)
you're so cute, wit' your gold tooth
exstentions on the carpet
that nice round brown is my target
it's so firm, so cushy, it makes me feel mushy
I love it when it's pushy
but don't laugh, I'm serious with this (word up)
the back seat of my jeep, is priceless
you're climaxin', you're climaxin', it's full action
you love a good waxin', it's so relaxin'
unh, give me a hug
see what I'm sayin' love?
[Chorus]

A lot of 70's - 80's stuff. Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Boston, Def Leppard. Which reminds me, if you ride in my Jeep I choose the music. And it's usually classic rock.  Ridge |

Ah, good ole tinnitus. Live with it 24 hrs. a day. Have it in my left ear. Were checking headsets at work and the guy on the other end dropped his headset and caused feedback. Thats what started my tinnitus. My daughter has tinnitus, some stupid suv soccer mom thought it would be funny to honk the horn as my daughter passed by. Now she has ( beeping ) as she calls it, in her left ear, pain and headaches. She's 11 now. Guess she'll have to live with it for the rest of her life thanks to that &%@$@^@&&*!^!&&*!*!&!&!* SOB. Classic rock, country, r&b, classical, etc. But I can't enjoy any of it at loud levels.

The song I always seemed to play the loudest was Deep Purple's "Burn". Man, I used to shake the walls with that one. Rainbow's "Mistreated" was another that couldn't be played below 10. But my hearing definitely suffered from those 10 Black Sabbath concerts, 8 or 9 Rainbow concerts, a couple of Kiss shows, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple and others.

I second Freedom. F-111s and F-16s took mine. I can't hear anything above 12khz.
After that, anything from Boston's first two albums.

Ha! I couldn't resist. Luckily my hearing is still good, it has to be for my job. As far as music goes... I still listen to Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Chili Peppers, Rage..., Sublime, Black Crowes, Tool and the more recent stuff-Chevelle, Filter, Nickelback, Velvet Revolver, Lincoln Park. Limp Bizkit, etc. The louder the better.
