Obnoxious: The Best kind of Rock there is

I know I'm too old to be doing this, but I still blare my music up in my care like I'm 17 years old. Perhaps because some of my favorite types of rock is that rock that is meant to be blared from your speaks to the point of being obnoxious.

Using the label to describe obnoxious shouldn't be anything new. Picture the founding fathers: Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino. Between their clothes, hair, and style of playing, obnoxious is the least you could describe them as.

So who's your favorite artist to fit in this category? I'm sure the Rolling Stones could be placed in this group, they practically brought obnoxiousness to the masses, but they get enough attention as it is, so I'll let you in on a few more obscure I'll start with my 80's indie heros. . .The Replacements and Husker Du. A lot of the 00's artists could qualify. Top of my list would be The Libertines. "Can't Stand Me Now" virtually epitomizes what I'm talking about. Maybe all those early 00's garage acts. . .The Strokes, The Hives.
