Another rhythmic drum song on my MP3 player is The Battle of New Orleans.
The #1 song of 1959 on Billboard Hot 100 in an era dominated by Rock 'n Roll.
(Battle of New Orleans is considered country)
The song was ranked #28th best song in the first 50 years of Billboard.
"Yeah, they ran through the briars And they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes Where a rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast That the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico (One-two, hup-two-three-four)"

One of my all time favorite bands. They're coming to Detroit on March 31st, but I'm leaning toward not going. Glen Tipton revealed he's got Parkinson's disease and won't be touring, and KK Downing left the band a few years ago. I don't think there was a better guitar duo than those two, and it won't be JP without them, IMO. I still may go.

I didn't know that Glenn Tipton had Parkinson's.
If you're not sick of hearing them? I would go.
I'm pretty much burned out listening to all the great rock and metal bands of yesteryear - I've heard it all one too many times. In fact I rarely listen to music anymore. For me? Great rock music died when grunge fizzled out.
I dig the Eagles. Especially when Walsh brought his dirty growl to the sound. This song is them at their Walshy best. YouTube has erased the ability listen to studio version so I found a dailymotion link to Those Shoes... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2qj7n4
All Night Long quickly sky rocketed up my list as of late.
Hahaha...I was up at 5am when I read that and I could have sworn over my coffee I read "All Right Now" (Free). Thus my long winded reply about the best Free albums (and which Rocket disregarded). My bad. Maybe I just HOPED to read "All Right Now"?
I have no response to Lionel Richie's "All Night Long". I'll leave it with you, Rocket. Totally not my cup of tea.
At the risk of being ridiculed by the musical elitists on this site, I am still going to have to say that I absolutely love this song. If it don't make your head start boppin' and your feet a stompin'........well, maybe it's you who doesn't get it. LOL
