View Full Version : George Thorogood and the Destroyers when nothing else will do IXLR8 11-18-2007, 06:59 PM Listen to them and one thinks so what other albums did they make that I need to get. JDaniel 11-18-2007, 10:03 PM There are times, when I'm in a certain mood, that George Thorogood and the Destroyers fit the bill like no other. I'll admit, it doesn't come around often, so I rarely play them. I actually saw them in concert back in the college days (mid-80s), and they rocked for 2.5 straight hours. I have two albums on vinyl: Better Than The Rest (1979) Move it on Over (1978) And three on cd: 30 Years of Rock Let's Work Together (Live) The Baddest of G.T. I'm partial to the first two on vinyl, in large part due to the fact that "Bad to the Bone" doesn't show up on either.

Tubejunke 11-18-2007, 11:41 PM I saw George for like $10 in Danville, Va several years ago and he was great. I feel like Lonesome George doesent really get the recognition he deserves. The man can flat out play a mess of Blues and Boogie music like few others really. Perhaps he got screwed by becoming a name on MTV back in the 80's with "Bad To The Bone" and he is now typecast as the guy who played "Bad To The Bone. There is so much more to him than that. Vintage TX 11-19-2007, 02:33 AM A good live CD with George is "Thorogood Live" 1986 by EMI # Who do you love # Bottom of the sea # Night Time # I drink alone # One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer # Alley Oop # Madison Blues # Bad to the Bone # The sky is crying # Reeling & Rocking :thmbsp: IXLR8 11-19-2007, 07:34 PM The album that has a play it again real soon feel to it is called More Geroge Thorogood and the Destroyers on the Rounder label from 1980. Just think it is fun to listen to and well done. Will be on the lookout for more. |
