I was at a bar last night in North Jersey ( Shortway’s) and I was listening to a great bar band called SILVERBAK. Now I have to tell you under full disclosure that the lead singer is my brother in law and is really good. He is a great lead singer and band leader and the band he has behind him are studs . I told you this because he and I have same tastes, so a lot of the music he plays is right in my wheelhouse. Here is what SILVERBACK plays that I love: BOWIE: Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust ( great ), Tom Petty: Mary Jane’s Last Dance, Runnin Down a Dream( Crazy Great). Allman Brothers: One Way Out, Beatles( Don’t Bring Me Down, Hey Bulldog, Neil Young ( Cinnamon Girl, Rockin in the Free World), etc Now These were all awesome…But let me add some of my favorites that I would like to hear when I’m drinking, singing, and hanging with my friends.
1) Early BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN..Thunder Road, Spirit in the Night, Rosalita..
2) VAN HALEN.. Ain’t Talkin Bout Love, Hot For Teacher..
3) LYNRYD SKYNRYD.. Gimme Three Steps, What’s Your Name, Tuesday’s Gone
4) CARS : Best Friend’s Girl Friend, Just What I Needed
5) ALLMAN BROTHERS: Good Clean Fun, Nobody Left to Run With Anymore
These are some beauties I would love to hear at a bar…What are some of your favorites ?
