One of my neighbors has the habit blasting his Gangsta Rap out of his car. LOUDLY. It's been an annoyance for a while, but only recently have I had the means to retaliate.
The Shaggin' Wagon has the Premium Sound System, with an Alpine 6-CD changer under the 3rd seat. And I think that it's time to give the brain-damaged punk wannabe a little payback.
So I'm looking for some suggestions for tunes. The Shaggin' Wagon will accept home-made CDs, so I'm thinking of burning a collection of music that'll bug the crap out of him and maybe -- just maybe -- get him to turn it down a little.
So far, I've been poking through my music collection and seeing what sorts of songs might do the trick. My main criteria are 1) it has to open loudly, and B) it has to be virtually guaranteed to chafe the ass of a gangsta rapper fan.
These are the ones I'm thinking of so far:
1) Meat Loaf -- Life Is A Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)
2) Queen -- Princes Of The Universe
3) Strauss -- Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001 Theme)
4) Weird Al Yankovic -- Amish Paradise
5) Weird Al Yankovic -- It's All About The Pentiums
6) Glen Larson -- Battlestar Galactica Theme (Original Series)
7) Genesis -- Mama
8) Genesis -- Illegal Alien (just for the irony)
9) Mike & The Mechanics -- Word Of Mouth
10) Louis Armstrong -- What A Wonderful World
11) Genesis -- Man Of Our Times
12) Bobby McFerrin -- Don't Worry, Be Happy
That's my Dirty Dozen. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'm eager to hear them. The lout MUST be answered.

A few years ago the kid who lived upstairs had the place to himself when his parents were out. He played his stereo full-on. I don't know what he had, but my stereo was more powerful.
I put on the ear protection I use at the gun range, turned the stereo full on, and looked for a CD to get his attention. I wanted something loud -- a shrill, schrieking sound that hits the inner ear like a hot soldering iron -- something impossible to ignore and something that will drive the kid crazy in seconds.
I found an old CD from my first wife: Barbara Streisand's greatest hits. I've forgotten what I played -- if "played" is the right word. I "played" it for about fifteen seconds, then turned my stero down to listen. He had turned his down -- WAY DOWN.

I once had a neighbor who played extremely loud ethnic spanish music all freaking day long starting in the morning until dinner time. I worked nights so it generally woke me up every day! There was no complaining about it either, she didn't speak english!
Ethnic Music! Ethnic Music, I'll give her some Ethnic Music! So to get even I moved the sub-woofer and speakers closer to the wall that divided us and setup an auto-repeat track on the cd player and an auto-off for 5 hours later. I set the timer for 3am. It was set to go off for the next 3 days in a row. I placed a bagpipe CD in the player and then went on vacation!
She was awoken at 3am till 8am each of the three consecutive days by unfamiliar ethnic music that looped the CD track endlessly for five hours straight! The chosen track?
Victoria Police Pipe Band - Live in the Rockies - "The Hellbound Train". Sounds like an insane version of Ozzie's Crazy Train! Like speed metal bagpipers!
Suffice to say, she got the message and stopped playing her music so damn loud every morning.

OT to Scott Ferguson -- did your roommate ever go to Caltech?
At Caltech, it's a tradition to blast "Ride of the Valkyries" at 7 am during finals week -- and only during finals week. At any other time (or day), the person is likely to get showered if he plays the thing.
I don't got that much in the way of *specific* suggestions, but I'd recommend:
* anything by Britney Spears
* anything classical
* anything from things like Final Fantasy or Star Trek/Star Wars
* Gregorian chants
* Chinese opera (seriously, have you heard it before?)
* heck, Italian opera might be good too

Opera! Why hasn't anyone mentioned opera? Any "traditional" opera will do. A local convenience store used to keep the local mouth-breathing slackers from hanging around out front (and thereby blocking foot traffic) by blaring out recordings of "Aida" and "The Marriage of Figaro."
Polka music is good, too, as has been mentioned. I imagine traditional Chinese music would also do the trick as well.

14. Don't Stop Me Now - Queen (Shaun of the Dead jukebox/beat down of bar zombie scene)

1.) "I Don't Know" The Replacements (loud)
2.) "Touch Me" Samantha Fox (obnoxious 80s song)
3.) "Stigmata" Ministry (saw this suggessted early and double the recommendation; I used to drive customers out of the record store I used to work in during the 80s)
4.) "Spin The Black Circle" Pearl Jam (play really loud)
5.) "Shake Your Love" Debbie Gibson
6.) "My Heart Will Go On" Celine Dion (I can't believe no one's suggessted this ditty...)
7.) "Macarena" (Need I say more...)
8.) "Bye, Bye, Bye" N-Sync
9.) "Tourette's" Nirvana (loud, obnoxious and unintelligble, in other words, great!)
10.) "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" Offspring (the subtlety may be lost on him, but WTF...)

Also, anything thats just bizarre, so the entire library or Weird Al and They Might Be Giants.

There's a sub-genre of heavy metal called "melodic death metal." Basically cross the music of Iron Maiden and early Metallica and add incomprehensible growls. Anything from In Flames or Dark Tranquility would work.

My friend recommended Agadoo. Don't ask me what it is:
"Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody.
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki,
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele,
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway,"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay." "
http://www.mp3search.ru/album.html?id=12466&ref=4566&lang=en
Come to think of it, looks like a bunch of those other songs on that page might be good.
He also recommended:
* early 80's music (does this include disco?)
* Missy Elliot's "Work It" (I hold myself blameless for any damages that may result from playing this song)
* Any chance of the soundtrack for "All your base are belong to us"?
About chinese opera, I googled around for it a bit, there's links to samples here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000004669/002-4885174-7362425?v=glance
The first one is pretty much what I had in mind (once you get past the intro). Actually they're all pretty much what i had in mind. Heh.

My favorites:

2) March to the Scaffold by Berlioz
3) Night on Bald Mountain
4) Anything by the Kronos Quartet
5) MC Hawking
If you wanted to be *really* evil:
1) Any atonal melody by Philip Glass
2) The Throat Singers of Tuva
3) Muzak. *70's* Muzak
(NOTE: I take no responsibility for mental anguish, insanity, and or war crimes accusations that may stem from playing any of these pieces at loud volumes.)
I've been known to be driving along the street in my car, listening to classical music and orchestra-level volumes (and when you used to be last chair second violin in an orchestra, wedged between the timpani and the horn section, in an orchestra with a director who was all too fond of Copland, you learn to enjoy classical music very loud...)

Two approaches here -
First is kick-ass rock and roll. For this approach, I would prescribe the first Led Zeppelin album (particularly "Communication Breakdown" or "Dazed and Confused"), or get a copy of "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.
Second is humor and horror all wrapped into one - go find a disc called "Golden Throats" on Rhino Records - it has the following songs:
1) Proud Mary - Leonard Nimoy
2) It Ain't Me Babe - Sebastian Cabot
3) Blowin' In The Wind - Eddie Albert
4) Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - William Shatner
5) A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Noel Harrison
6) I Can See For Miles - Frankie Randall
7) Try A Little Tenderness - Jack Webb
8) Twist And Shout - Mae West
9) House Of The Rising Sun - Andy Griffith
10) Mr. Tambourine Man - William Shatner
11) You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Jim Nabors
12) White Room - Joel Grey
13) Like A Rolling Stone - Sebastian Cabot
14) If I Had A Hammer - Leonard Nimoy
Just think of the hell you could unleash with Jack Webb singing "Try A Little Tenderness" at 160 decibels.....aaaaawesome....
