Post by: cavorting with nudists on April 22, 2013, 07:19:35 PM: Yeah, that list is bullshit alright. Where's "Froggy Went A-Courtin'"? "If I had a Hammer"?

UPDATE: Oops, wrong Seeger, sorry.

Thank you.
I have a little research to do, now.

Post by: mostlymeat on April 23, 2013, 10:50:38 AM: No Ramblin' Gamblin' Man? Ramblin Gamblin is some of my favorite 2 minutes and 10 seconds of music. Bob Seger is pretty much the best.

Great clip of Lucifer from the '60s: Bob Seger System - Lucifer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMQmSvKQpUs#)

It's probably #11 on the list. I really like it, but not enough to bump Lucifer or Heavy Music.

"Against The Wind" beats "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" ? No way!

Post by: buffcoat on April 26, 2013, 01:34:03 PM: I genuinely like "Hollywood Nights" and used to generally like "Night Moves." It's really hard to appreciate Bob Seger (or any number of other bands) after 10 years of late 80s/early 90s Raleigh-area classic rock radio.

Also, why did they play so much .38 Special? Were they played a lot anywhere else?
