There are just some songs that are so good, that when heard on the car radio, they trigger an automatic reflex to pop open a frosty cold brew. I know it's illegal in most states, but the law be damned when RYS (Retrograde Youth Syndrome) is triggered by the the following songs:
10. Pride and Joy (Stevie Ray Vaughn)
9. Wild Night (Van Morrison)
8. Locomotive Breath (Tull)
7. White Room (Cream)
6. You Shook Me (AC/DC)
5. London Calling (clash)
4. Sultans of Swing (Dire Staights)
3. Honky Tonk Women (Stones)
2. Roadhouse Blues (Doors)
1. La Grange (ZZ Top)
"And Joni Mitchell!"
LOL, but I guess you could count "They Paved Paradise" as a beer drinking tune.
10)Paradise by the dashboard lights- Meatloaf
9)Walk this way- Areosmith
8) All fired up- Pat Benetar
7) Tom Sawyer- Rush
6) Red headed stranger entire album- Willie Nelson
5)Blue collar man- Styx
4)Roll with the changes- REO Speedwagon
3)Urgent-Foreigner
2)El Paso-Marty Robins
1) watch tower- Jimmy Hendricks
I like western (not country) music and high energy Rock.
Mrs. Miller will drive anyone to drink.
LA Woman - Doors
House of the Rising Sun (Animals)- Yes, this tune gets played all the time down here.
Not sure. But you can buy wrappers for beer cans that look like soda pop labels. Very good invention!
___________
Or grab that beer can full handed and drink it through a straw. They'll figure it's a soda.
American Pie is WAY too sappy for drinking a beer in the car. Maybe a wine cooler, if you're a chick.
Good list. Mexican Blackbird, especially if your heading to Mexico. ;o)
You're hopeless. ;o)
I can't believe I left off G. Thorogood. He's got a few top poppers.
LOL. Molly Hatchet!? I haven't heard that name (or any song of theirs) in at least 10 years. Bu no, it doesn't qualify! ;o)
"Or anything by 38 Special."
An improvement over Molly Hatchet. ;o)
I'm in. Just pour 3 into a Big Gulp cup, and that will count as "one".
true. There has to be at least 20 worthy ones!
Dr. Hook? We need an intervention for ya! ;o)
Purge John Mellencamp, and you can ride with me. He sucks!
Dated but you'd need a dual processor to count the beers I cracked to that one.
I actually prefer 1940s swing and 18th century classical. So I certainly don't think my generation produced the best music. ;o)
My songs:
1) Flashlight (P Funk)
2) One Nation Under a Groove (P Funk)
3) Sonic Reducer (Dead Boys)
4) Teenage Lobotomy (The Ramones)
5) Bullet (the Misfits)
6) Hungry like the Wolf (Duran Duran)
7) Europa and the Pirate Twins (Thomas Dolby)
8) Girl You Want (Devo)
9) Jocko Homo (Devo)
10) Only a Lad (Oingo Boingo)
Ah... memories...
Some early Santana music really was inspired. The whole Abraxis album was good. BTW, Black Magic Woman was an old original Fleetwood Mac song.
Never too late for drinking and driving. ;o)
