Hey, I am looking for some really great albums of music, for enjoying the drinking of beer.   I have some already, but need more information. Also, good music for the partaking of the peace pipe.   This can be ANY type of music, as long as it enhances the enjoyment of partying all night! My favorites include everything from The Vienna Philharmonic  playing Johann Strauss' waltzes, to Ozzy's live Tribute to Randy Rhodes, and anything in between or beyond.  What record albums and CDs do you turn to in times of pure pleasure? Any information is welcome.

As far as cracking open a brew or having a pint (or, mayhap, something a little stronger...), a little Lynyrd Skynyrd (their "One More From The Road" live album) or AC/DC (I prefer the Bon Scott years) always puts me in the mood, as does The Pogues ("If I Should Fall From Grace With God"). They're the first few that spring to mind, anyway. Truth be told, I always enjoy drinking, whatever music's playin' in the background: rock, reggae, blues, classical, punk...doesn't matter.

"Peace pipe"-wise, you can't go wrong with a little Augustus Pablo or, really, any good dub reggae. Probably sounds a little stereotypical, I know, but, all I'm sayin' is it'd work for me.... Oh, and a little Thievery Corporation might do the trick, too ("Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi"...this album is pretty heavily dub-influenced)

Whatever musical accompaniment you settle on, have a good time!

Cheers!

Kaziglu Bey said it all

ac/dc and lynyrd skynyrd are alltime beer-drinking classics...i'd also add motorhead and then all that sleaze/glam 80's rock-metal ,that is really cheerful and sets the mood for booze stinking conversations kiss ,guns n' roses ,skid row ,whitesnake ,bon jovi ,motley crue ,la guns etc

I second the motion for some good Skynyrd and AC-DC, and raise you Aerosmith Pandora's Box and Van Halen Best Of volume 1! Also, some La Grange by ZZ Top. That's about as close as I come to country western-- some good Southern boogie. I used to have to listen to "The Brother Hal Show" every morning for breakfast because my parents were both rednecks at heart, and I always associate it with eating bacon and eggs. My favorite country western was Charlie Pride singing Kiss an Angel Good Morning. That's style there. "Kiss an angel good morning, and let her know you think about her when you're gone--- kiss an angel good morning, and love her like the devil when you git back home!"

Another good one is the original, uncut Autobahn by Kraftwerk.

[SLAYERx78]

i like this one esp after a few shots of JD.

[scottra]

The Pogues, best drinking music ever.

[indestructibleman]

[Skullface]

Any Johnny Cash will do.

Oooh, yeah! Hadn't though of that...and let's add The Clash's Sandinista! to that list, too. If I recall correctly, Joe Strummer wrote most of that album in "the bunker", a boxed-off corner of the studio where he'd ensconce himself, light up a spliff and start puttin' lyrics to paper.

We might as well toss The Doors into the ring, as well. Drinking-wise, I'd go with Morrison Hotel or L.A. Woman, myself, although any of their albums would do.

From Clarksdale to Cleveland and Livin' In The House of Blues: Roadhouse Blues are both pretty cool compilations, worth a look, if any of y'all are interested.

Here is some of my kind of beer drinking music.

Most music is good for drinking, but it always seems to end up like this

[korak]

I'd like to add one I just thought of, which is a the ultimate combination of heavy boozin' riffs and spaced out cosmic tripping music--- the remastered and expanded Song Remains the Same by Led Zeppelin, the definitive relic of the Nam era Age of the Hippy Freak. But it is highly existential in potential. Or not-- perhaps Wilhelm Furtwangler performing Richard Wagner with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1944 is the most existential astral trip imaginable. But either way-- watch out for weird Lovecraftian zones with incalculable and innumerable local dangers, not to mention that final peril.... in the centre of infinity---- aaaeeeeiiiii! Shub-Nuggurath!

[ThuleanWarrior]

More inline with the 70's type stuff what about...

Manilla Road



Uriah Heap




I'm not sure I could listen to Uriah Heap sober. lmao

Thulean Warrior, I thank you for that mystical moment on this magic board! I have never before been able to watch a video of the song Wizard (with Byron singing, no less) and it was beautiful!

[ThuleanWarrior]

^Uriah Heap really is great.

I missed my time being born in the mid 70's instead of being in my teens or twenties then. I love the aesthetics of the 70's. I especial love that periods art, comics and genre fiction. Though I do love our modern technology and ability to share. A mix of the two would be perfect!
