GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DELAWARE DESTROYERS CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSICS

fucking love this album

tempted by all of them

"Move It On Over," over "One Bourbon etc."

Best songs on his 16-song 2003 Rounder best-of Who Do You Love? that aren't listed above: "Can't Stop Lovin'," "Madison Blues," "Who Do You Love?," "House Of Blue Lights," "Ride On Josephine," "New Hawaiian Boogie," "Night Time."

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

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.

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

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"

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

"Who Do You Love" is fucking sensational too

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

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 said i know
everybody funny
now you funny too

srsly lolz @ thread title btw + even further lolz that tracer apparently thought CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSICS was a george thorogood album title

sounds like a job for someone with Photoshop

"Who Do You Love?,"

bo diddley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> george thorogood

can't fuck with Bo obviously but the stuff GT does with that riff is beautiful

lol thread title

it's been rattling around my head for months, a Thorogood jam would come on the classic rock station and i'm like YO...HOOD CLASSIC

xsayin

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

tracer apparently thought CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSICS was a george thorogood album title

uh

no

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

just realized this dude's teeth are GIGANTIC

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.

1,000% OTM

I bet thorogood is in the hood like everyday

tbf i've lived in the closest thing Delaware has to the hood

and so has George "Keeep It Thoro" Thorogood

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...

all white blues guys should be this thuggish ruggish

did these guys ever open for dr. feelgood? that woulda been something

she want the front rent
she be lucky to get the back rent
she ain't gonna get none of it

According to that first article/interview unperson did with GT, he said by 70 he'll be retired and living in Hawaii under a palm tree -- four years to go! (He's touring next March.)

And Blough and Simon are still with him too.

Love the end of Simon's bit on the official website:

SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS: Sorry...I’m pretty much what you see is what you get.

HOBBY: Nutrition and Alternative Medicine reading

I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT: a reason
