A few other faves....
Big Black, "Stinking Drunk"
Cardigans, "I Need Some Fine Wine and You, You Need to Be Nicer"
Replacements, "Red Red Wine" and "Beer for Breakfast"
Jazz Butcher, "Vodka Girls"
Jason & the Scorchers, "Broken Whiskey Glass"
Tindersticks, "Whiskey and Water"
Dirty Pretty Things, "Gin and Milk"
Divine Comedy, "Gin-Soaked Boy"
So, all together, that's nearly three weeks' worth of themed musical quizzes for me.
Thanks, boys!
Where's Bob Pollard, the beer-drunk god of rock and roll?
(And another Replacements, "Here Comes a Regular" comes to mind. Nice Sad Bastard list. . .)
This list is what happens when you rely on iTunes to search and not for your mind to work. It really was 2 am when I did this. Perhaps Pollard has never written a song (at least of the couple hundred of his thousands of songs in my iTunes) with the word drunk or wine or whiskey in it?
That's why the Mats aren't here, but I love that song to no end, so it should be. The cool thing is this 20 song list is almost exactly 70 minutes so burns nicely onto CD.
I don't know if Pollard sings about beer as much as he sings through it. . .
