    Memories of football locker rooms, Craig under dash 8 track players, and drinking Rainier out of kegs in the woods…

    Got pretty fucked up in CDA circa 1982 with the bass player for Head East.

    There may have been Wallace hookers and blow involved. Checking with my attorney on the hookers and blow statute of limitations. Definitely big-haired bitches from Peabody's.

    Black Betty - Ram Jam
    It's fucking Ram Jam or burn it all down. A black work song thrown down by the dorkiest white fucks ever in the most hooky way possible is the shit of legend. This song couldn't even be made today without getting the entire record company cancelled. It's fucking epic.

    That's a tough list to pick from. I think I own the album for at least five and probably six of them. I'll go with Ram Jam because they are the most "one hit" to me because I know I've never heard anything else from them. And a salute to Peabody's - I used to own a bunch of their mugs but my last wife hated them and threw them out.

    I was pretty torn here. I wanted to go with Ram Jam, but All Right Now is just too much of the perfect song for its moment in time.

    I don't care if it's cliche and ruined by overplay. It basically spawned an entire style of radio friendly, catchy hard rock in a way that Zep, Cream, Sabbath had never attempted.

    What also love about this list is the prevalence of cowbell. The drummers today just don't know how to lay down some good cowbell.
