xps to tipsy -- if there's any pitcher who could pull off Runnin' it's David Wells, who pitched a perfect game while hungover.
Yeah, David Wells was maybe the most Classic Rock pro athlete ever.

growing up there was a club in Ocean City called Scandals, and for like 10 years i would constantly hear a local rock radio ad in Delaware that was some random cover band playing the "Runnin' With The Devil" intro with that bass pulse and the little piano tinkle, and then the drums kick in and a vocalist sings along with the guitar riff: "SCANDAAAAAAALS"
I really hear that every time I hear the VH song tbh.

Yesssssssssss god that commercial rises unbidden into my forebrain every time somebody mentions the TV show Scandal, too.
SCANDAAAAAAALS EVERY ONE KNOWS

Wooooo I just came dangerously close to pasting some dude's SCANDAAAAAALS post into a risk assessment memo for work.
― carl agatha, Monday, 28 July 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link
Well, I mean I DID paste it in the memo. I came dangerously close to sending the document to the reviewing attorney with a little anecdote about Ocean City's finest night club instead of information about a settlement demand.

DON: The Pretenders where one of those exciting new bands paving the way for the 80s, making the Reagan years tolerable for freethinkers.
GLENN: We knew well the feeling of having brass in our pockets.
DON: Well, yeah.

Didn't Macca claim that Steve Miller was his favorite guitarist? Yikes...― Iago Galdston, Monday, July 28, 2014 4:06 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Recommendation: don't seek out their 1997 collaboration "Used To Be Bad."
"Runnin' With The Devil" is, ironically, god-like. AaaaaaaaAAAAAAAH!!!!! OH GOD! OH GOD I'M RUNNINGAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Maybe the best showcase for Roth as lead singer, a justification or mission statement for what it is that he does. "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" is maybe more of a song, but my heart is with this one.

My 17.
Struggling to think of another band I adore (3 of their songs in my top 100!) where I hate their biggest song. Can't even take the 4 minute demo version.

For a couple of years Free Bird was my go to song to tell people it was time to leave my party.
Unfortunately I found out every party always has the couple of drunkards who scream 'fuck yeah finally some good music' and try to rock out through the whole thing... for them I had to play this one afterwards:

Granted it is totally played out and granted it is never, ever funny to yell a request for "Free Bird," still: the idea that there are 82 tracks more Classic and more Rock than this boggles my aging mind.

yeah i have nothing against "Free Bird" but i much prefer "Simple Man" and "Tuesday's Gone." by the same token "Sweet Home Alabama" is probably my least favorite of their uptempo hits.

Totally possible that there will be more Golden Earring songs in this countdown than CCR.
