It's been awhile since we've had a Molly Hatchet appreciation thread here in the DU Lounge!!

Such an underrated Southern Rock Band. They always had such interesting album covers

[Callmecrazy]

1. My cousin turned me on to Molly Hatchet back in 1980...

With this song:

Outlaws on the loose,
Runnin', runnin', runnin' from the noose.

And this one:

Loved 'em ever since. And I agree they are very underrated and always had great album art.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

2. Righteous.

This song was originally an Allman Bros. tune, but Molly Hatchet took it and made it their own. There are easily half a dozen versions spread out over 25 years. This is the acoustic version, and is my personal favorite.

[LynneSin]

3. That is my favorite song by them

They own that song even if Allman Brothers created it Molly Hatchet perfected it!

4. We CANNOT have a Molly Hatchet Appreciation thread without this one:

Fall of the Peacemakers. Must we bury any more?


(this is the only Southern Rock band I can listen to, other than the Allman Bros.)

[MissMillie]

5. Seriously, I think there's a good reason for that

Sorry... I don't have any appreciation for the Southern Rock genre.

[BeyondGeography]

6. Guess you've never sung along to Dead, Drunk and Naked then

7. can't recall that I've ever even heard it

But I have sung along to "Why don't we get drunk and screw?"

[Tom Ripley]

8. "Did you know that $500 will get your head blowed off?"

It will.

[KamaAina]

9. Saw 'em in a club in Chicago in the mid-'80s.

Oh HELL YEAH!!!

10. Not long enough..
