I have 3 distinct drinking music memories.
While spending most of 1988 in Australia I learned about volume drinking. I drank a lot of XXXX and when ever this song came on the Aussies would slam down gallons of the stuff on their way to "getting legless"
The Angels - Am I Ever gonna see Your Face Again. It's been an Oz tradition to add lyrics as noted in the live version seen here. (there are better quality origininal recordngs on youtube). The Aussie still clearly react to this shit over 30 years after release.

My next moment was abusing my role as MC at a friends wedding to convince the DJ to playing RATM - Killing in the Name ..I may have inadvertently slammed into the groom's grandmother Can't even remember what was I was drinking. Sorry grandma.

Lately I have been enjoying NQ Arbuckle for serious sitting around the table drinking. Awesome Canadian band who will be playing at the Session after show next weekend. They usually do a St Pats day show at the Jane Bond in Waterloo.
Amoungst my favs is this WW1 inspired ditty
NQ Arbuckle - Ypres 1915 - Jesse should be "right up you trench" history wise if not style wise.

Is three stretching it or are you suggesting there are many more than three? I am on the RS band wagon myself... right up to 1974.mintjellie wrote:Three songs?

I often like to listen to Flogging Molly, Great Big Sea and/or The Irish Descendants (plus whatever other trad Irish music is around). Having grown up on metal though, I really like me some Korpiklaani; Finish folk-metal:
Let's Drink
Beer Beer
Happy Little Boozer
Vodka
Roughly 1/3 of their songs are about drinking.

Suggesting there are many more than three. I'm not a huge Stones fan myself, but they do have a lot of very good singles.NRman wrote:Is three stretching it or are you suggesting there are many more than three?

I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

Totally depends on the day, just like what sort of beer I feel like.
Today I am enjoying some really old Who on YouTube. Other days it is The Clash, Social Distortion, The Pogues, The Clancy Brothers, Blue Rodeo, Stompin' Tom, Stan Rogers or even Gordon Lightfoot ( if I'm in a certain sort of mood there's really nothing like singing along with Early Morning Rain or Steel Rail Blues at the top of my lungs ).
My parents just moved and presented me with a couple dozen cassette tapes that had been in their basement for several decades so I am dusting off some (m)oldies lately. I found a bootleg that I made of The Who in Toronto in '89(?). Sound quality is terrible but it has brought back many memories. Turns out my wife and I were both at the show but didn't meet each other until a few years later in Thunder Bay.
