Drinking music

I'm listening to The Eagles, Desperado, while supping a dark ale.

What's your fave drinking music?

Have to say, Led Zeppelin has to be the ultimate drinkin' band...

I've been enjoying the new Kate Bush (Aerial) with my CMP.

Guitar laden rock does it for me.
Ten Years After
Rollerball
Johnny Winter
Fu Manchu
Thin Lizzy
The Datsuns

To name but a few.

and when I'm feeling more mellow: Jeff Lang.

Cheers

Bit of a Blues man myself. Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lonnie Mack, Clapton, Led Zepellin anything that has great guitar in it.

Nothing better than being out in the garage with a nice cold beer, a game of darts with your mates, and 'The Darkness' cranked up on the stereo. Roll on the weekend

The Doors always make me crave beer. Bob Dylan ain't a bad one to drink beer to either.

I'm a punk fan mmyself. Bands like Frenzal Rhomb, NOFX, Pennywise, The Real McKenzies (Any band that sings about drinking as much as they do has to be good drinking music), Reel Big Fish.

I try to buy 1 cd a month, just bought the yeah, yeah, yeahs but haven't given it a real good listen yet. I'm sort of listening to a lot of electronica also.

The Doors...yeah

"Woke up this mornin' an' I got myself a beer..."

The Who gets me on my feet, after a few brews.

There is lots of good drinking genres, like Aussie rock (AC/DC etc), Punk (Sex Pistols, Ramones), but nothing beats good old metal! Beer goes down really well with Slipknot, Metalica or Pantera.

I also like some Rammstein, Faith No More etc for good session drinking.

Though it is hard not to mention Tool when beer consumption is discussed. Especially the Lateralus album.

I suspect that what music you reckon goes best with beer depends at least partly on the beer.

Surely you wouldn't listen to the same music while drinking a Belgian Tripel as you would with a dark ale, or for that matter a lager.

Presumably you'd want something rather more esoteric for the Belgian. Go and find some art rock or something.

Yeah, tom...

Maybe a Gregorian chant...

You just. I'm currently listening to opera though unfortunately I'm at work[*] so I'm not drinking beer of any kind at all

. Thomas Tallis would have to rate in my books as one of the greatest artists ever (for those who have not heard of him, he was court composer to Henry VIII, Edaward, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed not to get his head cut off.

The work that he is best known for is Spem In Alium which is for forty voices each singing an independant part. Definitely one for a Karmeliet Tripel.
