We joke about the KS garage trips. But "weed" is better for us than alcohol. It's science. I'm not a smoker. Never really my thing, but I certainly partook (IF YOU WEEEEL) on occasion.

50. Billy Joel Billy's not really what I look for in my rocker. I like long hair. Sebastian Bach has long hair. So does Tommy Shaw. (Dammit, kesha  ) So do a bunch of rockers that I like but Billy Joel gets a pass. Dude banged Christie Brinkley for like a decade! He's the fucking Piano Man. Him. Billy damn Joel! Anywho, my favorite song from him is Only The Good Die Young. Uptown Girl, My Life, Sometimes a Fantasy, You May Be Right........all classics. Too many to list. 49. Whitesnake I think Whitesnake fits in all the categories. Hair band. Pure rockers. Maybe even glam I guess with the crazy, slutty Tawny Kitaen rubbing her coochie all over those cars in the videos. I like the heavier songs a little more like Slow & Easy, Love Ain't No Stranger but the anthems like Still Of The Night and Here I Go Again are insanely good. You should be arrested if you don't like Whitesnake. 48. The Eagles Well lookie here. It's the Eagles. The same band some of us were ripping just a bit earlier tonight. Now I will say that despite having the absolute worst song of all time and eternity - Desperado - the Eagles catalogue is still far superior to most bands. Hotel California is ridiculously good but it's kind of like Zeppelin's "Stairway" where it's been played so damn much that it almost diminishes it. Life In The Fast Lane is my favorite.....that is....depending on who you credit In The City to. Either way it's Joe Walsh and/or The Eagles. And having been in the movie Warriors (One of my Top 5 All-Time), that song is all kinds of awesomesauce. 47. KISS KISS really weren't my guys growing up. Was never really exposed to their music by anyone. And they didn't get a whole lotta mainstream play either. Their anthem, Rock and Roll All Nite, is another one that's been habitually overplayed but that doesn't take away how good it is. They're also owners of one of the two most rocker "ballads" that in no way could be considered sappy or a rock ballad. Beth is simply incredible. ( Angie being the other) I don't really even care about all the makeup nonsense. That didn't do a lot for me either way. I just want to hear music that gets me going. I Was Made for Lovin'You, Lick It Up, Detroit Rock City, Deuce were all songs I enjoyed quite a bit. I absolutely love, LOVE!! New York Groove but I think that's more of an Ace song than it is KISS. 46. The Who I've stated before but there was this time that you were either a Beatles or a Stones guy. But then some people would chime in with "What about The Who?" Well what about The Who? They friggin' rock, are you kidding me. I think some people forget just how massive some of their hits were: Baba O'riley, Won't Get Fooled Again, Who Are You, Pinball Wizard. My buddy from St. Rita's, Jon Gavin of all people (super guy but also super straight laced) turned me on to The Who in like 4th grade or so. Strangely, despite liking/loving a ton of their songs, my favorite was by Pete Townsend, Let My Love Open The Door, when he went solo.

Story time with Drop In. I'm caught in the rat race with one of my friends. We're talking 2003'ish. We'd been to a couple shows together, and he suggests borrowing a vehicle from our collection to hit the Alpine Valley show. Mind you, we've been working roughly seventy hours a week. Two cases of what Jackref would call shit beer were placed in the back of the SUV. We didn't have tickets. Fuck it. When we arrived, a marginal human named Todd asked if we "needed" and jumped in the back seat. We were good with the ticket transaction, and it happened instantly. However, Ol' boy left his cell phone in the back of my car. Some people might be dicks. We actively sought him out, knowing that's his lifeline. Especially in whatever year we're talking about. I find the dude, and he can't believe what happened. He thought he was screwed. Pays for all of our drinks, and gives us will call tickets for Cubs/Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Prior was pitching. Bob and I enjoy the concert, and were maybe a little too cocky. Otherwise, we'd be with women.
We plan on heading home, and every road is flooded. I even tried my big swinging corporate dick deal, which always worked, at one hotel. No dice. They were actually housing people that lived in the area. We find a no tell, and even they were booked. We end up getting the kitchenette. We now have a case of beer, and neither of us plan on sleeping. One would stay awake Marine style. Thirty minutes in, a car pulls up. The girl in the passenger seat is trying to kick out the glass. He starts walking up, and asks "where's (can't remember the name)?!?
Drop In: There's no (Insert Name Here). Sorry boss.
The girl was still kicking. I was certain that guy was going to attempt to prove there were no drugs in our $39 kitchenette. So I placed my hand on my back. Did I have a gun? Fuck no. But that maniac didn't know that. The sad thing is we didn't get to the game the next day. My only regret.

Should have just started this list at 50. The first 25 were just awful but this set of 5 is ok.

Yeah with the exception of Kiss, who I know is influential but I don't care for, that's a solid five.

I was so busy putting together my Survivor Series list I completely missed the Dave Matthews Band talk?
Drop In, I have your back on this. No shame in admitting it, they're one of my favorite bands & have been for quite a long time. I haven't been to a show since 2012, but I used to go to Alpine every year & see both shows. And no I'm not a stoner, but I like their music a lot. I was offered gummy bears by an incredibly attractive girl there one year, but she was totally out of it & I passed.
Hopefully this doesn't get me blacklisted haha.
I'll defend O.A.R. too, who I started listening to back around 2003. I can't defend their newer stuff because I'm not a fan of it, but their stuff before they started to get played on the radio I used to love.

I've got randomone on Team Dave Matthews! Our partners will be the Bushwackers, managed by Mr. Fuji.

I prefer the Rougeau Brothers, managed by Jimmy Hart.
I'll stop being a fan right now if I have to be a Bushwhacker! That's where I draw the line!

Also, just to clarify. The reason the kitchenette was available was because the drug dealer living in it had just moved out.

this DMB talk is killing me. Me as well. I'm just gonna pretend none of that happened. Though he/they/whatever have moved up a bit in my book. A bit. Like from 489th to 482nd. |

I'm not kidding. I bought the Cinderella one the other day when I had to go there to obtain the parts they fucked up and didn't include in my garage door kit.

There are a lot of things I would consider crashing into to avoid ever hearing that song again.

If you are going to post DMB vids then at least post them with the dwarf tim reynolds so I can make fun of him too.

Crash Into Me is the only one I kind of know. I think that's the hike your skirt up song.
The weird thing with DMB is that a lot of cool cats like them (Drop In, randomone, Ramie etc....) but I don't know. I'm just not a jam dude or whatever. I need a faster, harder pace. Even the Dead only came in at 69 on my countdown.

I will say that I've heard great things about the live experiences, especially at Alpine, and if I were still the young mega stud that I used to be, I'd probably go to the shows just for the atmosphere.

Hum rocked!!! well at least that one song did.
I have never been around a really nasty pit. Its usually very tame and everyone is helping anyone that falls down. It looks more like bumper dancing. Just bounce around off of eachother.
