WRAPPED UP LIKE A DOUCHE

I'll write it in if you write it in xp. It's their best song, but I find it hard to imagine as a CR staple.

Yikes - I'm talking about I Can't Tell You Why of course.

If it weren't a cr staple, I would not know it. That's a good litmus test for me imo!

onto the ballot it goes

yeah I absolutely hear it on classic rock radio

^ does this version of Woodstock ever get any play or is it always the CSNY one?

CSNY won that war.

boo!

I'm trying to extract "Bad to the Bone" the song from "Bad to the Bone" the cultural wallpaper and it's not making it any better. Screw that song.

just vote for other Thorogood. "Move It On Over" and "One Bourbon" are more proper AOR songs.

Perfect Timing!

oops did not mean that as a block quote

George deserves no love since he removed "Delaware" from George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. And even before that he sucked so no worries.

Respect the Rock,

Dale Baker

this gem from the comments:

A lot of bands don't even want to play here because there are times where Cleveland Rockers have the attitude "you gotta prove to me you are good" --for example-Dokken played here for a Ribfest and people were total assholes about it

"SIT DOWN? What is this, an Eagles show or something?"

i guess you guys have never lived in/near cleveland

new DN

i'm going to try and get the guy who wrote this letter to assist in the poll rollout.

As I said, my wife and I went to what we thought was going to be the Classic Rock party of the summer. Unfortunately, our hopes were dashed moments into the first song.

Some rotten bastard had the stones tell us to “Sit down”.

Sit down?

Sit down for George Thorogood? Sit down for Rock N’ Roll? Sit down while George tore into a blistering opening opus. This somehow did not compute in my thinking machine.

I texted my friend and brother in Rock to ask for advice. Do we sit and be respectful to the crowd behind us or do we stand? He texted back and said that Rock N’ Roll has become complacent and that we needed to do what was right.

Well, this thing was bigger than the moment.

The more we break it down, the more beautiful this letter gets.

it led to a lunchtime discussion of whether one could truly rock in dockers or not. Photographic evidence was sought

yeah, it's really a pity he backed down from his promise to destroy Delaware

I always read it as Destroyers from Delaware, but really either way...

JUST KIDDING I LOVE YOU DELAWARE

I saw Neil Young awhile back and somebody nearby continued to pass gas.
Now that is a problem.

<---- 50+ and will definitely have Def Lep/Priest/Scorps on my list.

xxpost more like bore-ogood amirite?

^^ gets it \mm/

Anybody remember these guys? They were all about the ribfests.

So much loool in Dale Baker's letter.
Also, fuck him for thinking that people from Pittsburgh do not take their rock seriously. We just jumped off that crappy George Thorogood train around 1979.

"Everybody's funny...now Pittsburgh's funny too"

We just jumped off that crappy George Thorogood train around 1979

oh, i don't think that's true at all

nice!

haha I think of that article every time I hear that song, though in my memory the soundtracked scene involved a baby putting on sunglasses.

shhh, mookieproof... I'm gearing up to have a WDVE listening marathon this weekend while I do my ballot and I'm trying to manifest a reality in which I can get through 3 days without having to hear that shit.

I just noticed that Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again is not on the list. I might write that one in.

251 after the second cut

ooh good catch, i may have to as well

I think I love every single by Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship.

Also, if you don't know "Starship Trooper", pls listen thx.

I hadn't heard Atlanta Rhythm Section's "so into you" before, what a nice southern groove.

can't believe i didn't put Supertramp's "Bloody Well Right" in the list, that's the song of theirs i really love

Alright I have never knowingly heard Asia before this moment. My goodness, this is silly.
