Title: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: FunkyMonkey on March 17, 2008, 08:06:25 PM Rock List: Readers? Best Drinking Songs
3/17/08, 5:25 pm EST To honor St. Patrick?s Day, we asked our readers to tell us their favorite drankin? tunes. We went through the picks and came up with the top ten, because $3 will buy you ten songs on any respectable jukebox. Without further pregaming, here are your picks for the Best Drinking Songs: 1. Tom Petty ? ?Free Fallin?? 2. Guns N Roses ? ?Paradise City? 3. Billy Joel ? ?Piano Man? 4. Lynyrd Skynyrd ? ?Sweet Home Alabama? 5. Beastie Boys ? ?Fight For Your Right? 6. The Kinks ? ?Lola? 7. Elton John ? ?Tiny Dancer? 8. Journey ? ?Don?t Stop Believin?? 9. Bon Jovi ? ?Livin? On a Prayer? 10. Jerry Lee Lewis ? ?What Made Milwaukee Famous? Rolling Stone Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: lakersaregreat on March 17, 2008, 09:01:21 PM i would think "Nightrain" is more appropriate...

Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: Walapino on March 17, 2008, 09:12:28 PM What a petty list!
Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: HoldenCaulfield on March 17, 2008, 10:36:13 PM I think I've heard 'SCOM' in bars more than any other GNR song, though...

Don't get me wrong...there are a lot of good songs here. But "Tiny Dancer"? I love Elton, but that's no bar song. And Journey? C'mon. For pure sing-a-long appeal, "American Pie" should be on there, and probably "Rock 'n' Roll All Night." i would think "Nightrain" is more appropriate... While I personally agree, it's less likely to get sing-a-long from the less serious fans. :) Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: lynn1961 on March 18, 2008, 12:25:49 AM ??? Except for #5 - I don't get any of it........who drinks to Tiny Dancer and Don't Stop Believin'?!?
I would think something by Zeppelin or Metallica should be in there. Johnny Cash makes for good drinking songs, too. Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers?

Not sure how I missed this, but.......WHERE THE FUCK IS AC/DC??????????? :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: Genesis on March 18, 2008, 02:09:53 AM Well, I agree with #2 and #4. That's about it.
Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: hally187 on March 18, 2008, 03:03:37 AM I think Aerosmith - Don't Wanna Miss a Thing should be in there, as an aussie i'd have to say Khe Sahn by Cold Chisel to
Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: don_vercetti on March 18, 2008, 06:12:11 AM I think Don't Want To Miss A Thing would be the last aerosmith drinking song in there, put in Back In The Saddle or Train Kept A Rollin' (or dude like's like a lady, for the tranny lovers)
Classic rock did a list like this recently, but it was a lot better. In no order;; Judas Priest - Livin' After Midnight Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again Steppenwold - Born To Be Wild Kiss - Rock n' Roll All Nite Guns N' Roses - Nightrain ZZ Top - Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers Scorpions - Blackout Billy Idol - Mony Mony Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town Tank - Blood Guts and Beer The Kingsmen - Louie Louie Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood AC/DC - Big Balls (classic choice lol) Pogues - Any Song Van Halen - Panama Electric Angels - The Drinking Song Alice Cooper - Public Animal Numer 9 Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To Fuck Def Leppard - High N' Dry Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers?

"...just a small town girl..." Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: xj220 on March 18, 2008, 12:13:55 PM I think Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies should be one of the top songs. Someone already mentioned the Pogues, but Flogging Molly and even Dropkick Murphy's should be added, especially on St. Patrick's Day.
Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: LIGuns on March 18, 2008, 05:32:57 PM Don't Stop Believing has been rejuvinated thanks to the Soprano's finale..How about WTTJ, thats a perfect song for anything...Except perhaps a 1st Dance at a wedding....
Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: axlssis on March 19, 2008, 11:44:52 AM ^^that's a killer idea!
i think RS's list sucks. i don't associate most of those songs with drinking. the second list is much better. Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: 1987 on March 20, 2008, 12:38:26 AM i agree wit some of the list... but how could you not have you shook me all night long?... or any ACDC for that matter,, the Journey i get.. that always seems to fire people up at bars.. myself included.. my list would be
PC - gnr Shook me - ACDC pour some sugar - def leppard don't stop believin- journy Laid- James Youth Gone wild- Skid row Crazy Bitch or lit up- Buckcherry Nothin but a good time- poison Livin on a prayer- BonJovi Sweet child- GNR Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: axlssis on March 26, 2008, 12:01:42 PM ok, why do we think journey songs are good drinking songs?
and the only gnr song i would consider a drinking song would be nighttrain. and where are george thorogood's "i drink alone" and AC/DC's "have a dink in me"??? Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: crazycheryl on March 27, 2008, 10:48:56 AM Ok that list seriously sucks!!!!!!!!!! what about:
I Got Loaded - Los Lobos Red Wine - ub40 I'm Not Drunk, I'm Just Drinking - BB King - I think? One Bourbon, One Shot, and One Beer - Todd Rungren? Definitely KISS Definitely ACDC - big Balls I would walk 500 miles - don't know Mony, mony - Billy IDOL Pogues - any song I agree Heavy, heavy fuel Wild Wild Life - Talking Heads Movin Out is more party than Piano man The RS list sounds more like when you're crying the blues or mellow. I could totally go on but I will refrain. Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: ppbebe on March 27, 2008, 10:53:41 AM any song from tom waits....
what about our best dr pepper drinking songs? ;D Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: fuckin crazy on March 28, 2008, 02:50:36 AM One Bourbon, One Shot, and One Beer - Todd Rungren? You're probably thinking of George Thorogood and the Destroyers' cover of the John Lee Hooker song. It is a good one, as is JLH's Whiskey and Wimmen'. Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers?

Best Drinking Songs Post by: alejoyp on March 28, 2008, 11:12:35 AM How can nobody named Thin Lizzy's "Whisky in the jar"??? The fav song from the irish drunkers...
also maybe some John Thoorogood like "If You don't start drinkin'", "I drink alone" or "a scoth, a bourbon and a beer" Hanoir rocks "cigarettes and a beer" would be fine too... :beer: Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers?

Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers? Best Drinking Songs Post by: Shoco on March 29, 2008, 12:50:05 PM thats the worst paddys day song list iv ever seen
none of them songs should be on it Title: Re: Rolling Stone: Readers?
