What music goes best with beer?

[Radical Activist]

What music just sounds best with a beer?

My vote is Willie Nelson. There's just something about drinking a beer and listening to Willie Nelson songs that goes right together. I'm doing that right now and I think I should be in a country western bar.

Any other votes?

1. Gang Green.

[Radical Activist]

7. Never heard of them

but that's a cool pic

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. They suck.

But if you're drunk enough, all you can do is laugh at their silly album covers and bad-pun titles.

[PittPoliSci]

15. i have one of their cds.

but i don't remember which one it is cause i lost it. all i remember is laughing the whole time saying "why am I still listening to this?"

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. You have perfectly grasped the essence...

...of Gang Green.

[PittPoliSci]

42. heh, i have a lot of bands like that.

manic hispanic is one. it's el hefe from NOFX changing around popular punk songs into hispanic themed songs. For example: the Ramones "Chinese Rock" turned into "Mexican Tar" and remains a herion themed song. They're really good covers too.

[drumwolf]

32. Hey, I actually like Gang Green.

They played classic '80s thrash punk -- the REAL kind, not the lame-ass horseshit that's passed itself off as "punk" for the last decade.

And they had a signature song about drinking, called (duh) "Alcohol."

We're gonna die when the sun comes up
We'll drink until we drop
My blood's 100 proof
We're gonna stumble, twist and crawl
99 bottles of beer on the wall
I'd rather drink than fuck

Chorus:
No doubt about it, I can't live without it
No doubt about it, I can't live without it... alcohol!

Alcohol!
And it's my destiny!

You got the beer
We've got the time
You got the coke, gimme a line

(repeat chorus, then guitar solo)

We're gonna die when the sun comes up
We'll drink until we drop
I'd rather drink than fuck
You got the beer
We've got the time
You got the coke, gimme a line

(repeat chorus)

[PittPoliSci]

2. die Toten Hosen

zehn kleine jaegermeister

[gmoney]

3. Polkas

Oompa bands...

Strauss...

[Radical Activist]

8. are you serious?

please shoot me now.
Do you live in Cleveland?

[gmoney]

14. Drink enough beer, it sounds good

"Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun..."

"I don't want her, you can have her, she's to fat for me... HEY!"

You didn't ask what is the best music... just what goes with beer.

Besides, there was the Weird Al thread a little earlier, and I've had polkas on my mind.

[Radical Activist]

21. OK

I can see that. I used to drink at this German place in Cleveland that played German music all the time, including Polka. I never got used to it, but it was less annoying after a few.

[mwdem]

31. Ah, yes.. I was at Blob's one night, many moons ago..

Polka heaven, and enough beer to choke a horse.:toast:

[bleowheels]

4. How about Let it be by the Replacements and A.M. by Wilco. And

the single best song to get drunk and depressed to is "Here comes a regular" by the Replacements on the album "Tim". That is my favorite song on my favorite album ever.

[Radical Activist]

10. Wilco is a GREAT choice

I haven't heard too much replacements though. Its one of those bands I hear about but can't name any of their songs. Maybe I should check them out.

[bleowheels]

29. If you're a Wilco fan and want to "try out" the Replacements, I suggest..

the album "Pleased to meet me" or "Don't tell a soul." There are obvious similarities to Wilco. The Replacements leader Paul Westerberg has many traits that one could associate with Jeff Tweedy. Certainly, both are brilliant.

[Nevernose]

5. Zydeco

After six or seven cheap beers, it becomes the music of the gods.

[Martin Eden]

6. Live electric blues

In my younger days I spent many nights in Chicago blues clubs, where the beer flowed and spirits soared.

If you don't dig the blues you got a hole in your soul.

[Radical Activist]

11. You're making me miss Chicago

Great choice. Luckily I think I'm moving there soon. I love Buddy Guy's Blues club! I think they moved though and I haven't been to the new one.

[samplegirl]

12. Im not sure about Beer...but Wine and the Blues

sure makes me wanna dirty dance

[Radical Activist]

20. I happen to have

a bottle of wine and a number of blues CD's right here if you care for a dance

[samplegirl]

27. Do you have?

A slice of fresh apple for my wine????

[Radical Activist]

28. Oh of course

I can make that happen. What's the apple pie for?

[samplegirl]

34. Apple wedges

are great in a glass of wine

[democracyindanger]

13. German beerhall songs

Im Meunschen steht ein Hofbrau Haus
Eins, Zwei, Zuffe!

[PittPoliSci]

17. in heaven there is no beer.

can't remember the german, something like "Im Herzen da ist kein bier" or something.

[democracyindanger]

25. Damn

I gotta find the lyrics to that...the reasoning must be pure poetry.

[PittPoliSci]

41. i got it for you.

in heaven there is no beer.
that's why we drink it here.
and when we're gone from here,
well our friends will be drinking all the beer.

repeat till you pass out.

[sundog]

18. Interpol with Tsing Tao beer :)

:bounce:

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. Country's great drinking music.

Hell, after sufficient quantity of beers you might even sing karaoke country. And if you don't know the words just throw in a YEEEEEEHAAAAW or say you're gonna put a boot in somebody's ass or whatever :evilgrin:

[Radical Activist]

22. That brings back some memories

of other people singing karaoke country while drunk...not me of course...ahem :beer:

[MRDU]

23. Indie rock?

sounds good with a beer, But I"m partial to John Prine.

[Radical Activist]

24. Oooohhh Yes, John Prine

His music practically begs you to get drunk from cheap beer! I never knew who he was until I moved to East Tennessee.

[thebaghwan]

26. Willie is good as is Santana. I just today got tickets up front to see

Willie, Neil Young, John Cougar Melloncamp, Dave Mathews and others to be named when they come to Seattle for Farm Aid!!

[ChoralScholar]

30. Any 12-bar blues music.

I need alcohol to listen to the same chord progression for 2 hours.

[enigmatic]

33. What a question!

Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/Wilco
Richmond Fontaine
American Music Club
George Jones
The Replacements
Richard Buckner

That's just for starters..

[MrSandman]

35. Hank...and his son.

[Radical Activist]

37. And his grandson

Hank III is my second choice for great beer music after Willie Nelson.

[MrSandman]

40. Wouldn't a song with all 3...

Like "Tear in My Beer" with Hank and Jr be somethin?

[Radical Activist]

43. That sounds like a real money maker

It might sound pretty good too. I'd like to hear that.

[maveric]

36. Lynard Skynard

[Bake]

38. BLUEGRASS RULES!!

Hot pickin' and cold beer!! It doesn't get any better than that!

Bake

[IronLionZion]

39. Classic Rock

well, it goes well with anything.
