this isn't an album, i just grabbed the titles of a bunch of songs i've either heard a billion times or seemed to do well on radio charts

― some dude, Friday, 14 January 2011 17:33 (2 years ago) Permalink

this isn't an album

Ha, that explains why I never heard of it before.

You left out "Get A Haircut," though! Pretty sure that one got novelty-hit-style airplay.

― xhuxk, Friday, 14 January 2011 17:35 (2 years ago) Permalink

Most of these songs are on the first album, are they not?

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 January 2011 17:35 (2 years ago) Permalink

Ha, weird the answer is no - I have conflated like three George Thorogood albums into one mega-album in my head

He doesn't have the right voice for it but I always liked "I'm Just Your Good Thing" .. it was a nice tempo shifter

Voted for "Move It On Over"

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 January 2011 17:38 (2 years ago) Permalink

Here's a thing I wrote about him a few years ago. He was a blast to interview.

Yeah, Move it On Over, for however many million times I've heard it, is still undeniable.

xp List also leaves out 1985's "Willie And The Hand Jive" -- which is, bizarrely, his only Billboard Hot 100 hit even though I'm fairly positive I've never heard it on the radio. ("I Drink Alone" was apparently the B-side.)

I Drink Alone.

One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer

― Brad C., Friday, 14 January 2011 17:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

"Who Do You Love" is fucking sensational too

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 January 2011 17:59 (2 years ago) Permalink

Great stuff, unperson! I liked this:

When I go see a show, I don't want a lot of nonsense. I don't wanna hear your life story. And I don't like to give people time to think. They don't come the show to think. Once you've got the hammer down, keep it down."

Also being whipped across the face with a car antenna is a very good way to describe those early records

meant to put "Get A Haircut" in here -- i guess that's the space where i somehow put in "Bad To The Bone" a 2nd time instead

― some dude, Friday, 14 January 2011 18:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

This guy gets a bad rap based on how ubiquitous he is on classic rock radio, but they're a badass band.

I mean, shit - listen to the Band play "Who Do You Love" during the Last Waltz, and then listen to the Destroyers. No fucking contest.

This dude would be in my top ten of musicians to have a drink with.

easily 'one bourbon one scotch one beer'

Another for "One Bourbon..." When I was a little kid, I thought that the spoken part at the beginning was a hi-larious comedy bit.

I'm in walmart, and in the bargain bin there's a new cheapie George comp called "ten great songs". "Certified Hood Classics" sounds so much better.

Saw Thorogood last night. He killed it.

That sounds like a blast. He was amazing the one time I saw him almost 20 years ago. Might have to check tour dates...
