Favorite Trans Amthem

[Magrittes Pipe]

You know what I mean. The kind of song you expect to hear blaring from the open T-tops of a silver '84 Trans Am with the blue bird on the hood. The soundtrack to the mullet. The theme by which men don midriff shirts.

[eyesroll]

1. Fucking Scorpions.

At least that's what was pouring out of the similar vehicle, driven by similar mullets, on Brady Street a few days ago.

(Why, why would anyone blast "Winds of Change?")

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Because they're losers?

:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

3. How about REO or Journey?

they always seemed more "mullet" to me.

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. There's only room for 10 options.

REO and Journey easily could have winded up on this poll. But I needed to include *something* I actually liked, such as BOC and Rainbow. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

5. Any way you want it.....

That was my first thought.

[dolo amber]

6. No Billy Squire?

:eyes:

By the way, you suck. :P

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. That's for later.

I'll rock *you* tonight, baby. ;)

[dolo amber]

8. Oy.

Poll stealer.

And NO POLE STEELING/STEALING JOKES! :grr:

:P

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. First you stole my heart....

:evilgrin:

Hey, I searched the archives. You never bothered posting this. And we discussed possible options like 3 months ago.

[no name no slogan]

10. For me, it was "Smoke On The Water"

Duh duh duh, duh duh duh-nuh, duh duh duh, duh duh

And I got the mullet to prove it

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Nice!

You should vote for "Man on the Silver Mountain," then. One Blackmore song is as good as another. :thumbsup:

25. True enough

Richie played pretty much the same solo throughout his career.

[dolo amber]

12. That is one shit-hot mullet

:rofl:

[no name no slogan]

27. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it

Which is probably why I never liked Soundgarden or Pearl Jam.

[tigereye]

33. damn!

you could have been my youngest brother! Only he played bass. I'll ahve to see if I can find a pic.

[no name no slogan]

39. I started life as a bass player

but the guy that originally played guitar switched to bass, so I got guitar duties. But then he switched back to guitar, so we both played guitar.

:tinfoilhat:

13. It has to be something from the Holy Trilogy of Midwest Rock:

REO Speedwagon, Styx or Cheap Trick.

Here's some good advice, from The Master:

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/26041

1) Choose your car wisely. Eight hundred bucks is a lot of money, and you don't want to blow it on some hunk of junk that's going to bust down all the time. Unless, of course, it looks cool, in which case this rule doesn't apply. And under no circumstances should you be caught driving a VW Bug or a Chevy of any kind. I don't care if someone gives you one for free, you turn that shit down. No one needs a car that bad. Trust me on this one.

2) Make sure to keep some righteous tunes on hand. Nothing kills the buzz of a good cruise like having to listen to crap. If you've only got a radio, a good classic-rock station is the only way to go. If you can swing it, though, a tape deck is far preferable. A decent musical library must include the following albums: Jethro Tull, Aqualung; Lynyrd Skynyrd, Second Helping; Blue Öyster Cult, Secret Treaties; Led Zeppelin, Houses Of The Holy; REO Speedwagon, High Infidelity; David Lee Roth, Eat 'Em And Smile; Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Bachman-Turner Overdrive II.

3) Keep an eye out for pigs. (And I don't mean the four-legged variety, either.) See, cops hate to see guys like you and me having fun. In fact, the only time they have fun is when they stop us from cruising. That's why you gotta play it cool. Keep a low profile in places where they might be, especially donut shops. Also, have a good story ready in case you do get pulled over, and never use it more than once. That'd be stupid.

4) Keep a full tank, spare tire, and pack of matches handy at all times. The gas and tire are obvious. The matches are important in case you need to light a signal fire or defend yourself. I just saw The Edge, and they had to fight bears with fire. Now, I'm not saying you're going to have to fight bears, but you can never be too prepared.

14. That, sir, is genius

:patriot: :D

[sundog]

15. the theme from s'express

oh wait, what are we talking about?

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. You drive a Datsun.

:thumbsdown:

[Lilith Velkor]

17. AC/DC - Highway to Hell

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Probably a little better than "For Those about to Rock."

But still... FIRE!

[Lilith Velkor]

26. I feel ya man, but...

T-N-T! (Oy! Oy! Oy!)

[tigereye]

34. yup

19. The car and its honest-to-god license plate:

21. Wow.

Just wow.

[Left_Winger]

20. "Smokin' in the boy's room" by Brownsville Station

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Ooh!

Good choice! :thumbsup:

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. "Suedehead" by Morrissey.

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. Hey, BTBM: I think Fenris has figured out your password.

:thumbsup:

[Beware the Beast Man]

29. On a realted note:

A good friend of mine from high school and I agreed that that would be an excellent song for a fight scene in a film.

[XNASA]

28. "Jesus Built My Hot Rod"

[no name no slogan]

30. Almost forgot about .38 Special

"Rockin' Into The Night" would be my pick, with honorable mention going to "Hold On Loosely". I remember hearing them quite often in the high school parking lot in the early/mid-80s.

[Sammy Pepys]

31. WTF?

Where's Foghat?

[Magrittes Pipe]

32. Oh shit!

I'm a fool for the city. :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

35. SLOWRIDE! - the long version.

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. Are you ready....

to take a...
SLOOOWWW RIIIIDE???

[DS1]

37. I don't like Van Halen, but Panama should be on this list

[El Fuego]

38. Paradise City - Guns n Roses

Dang I gave myself an earworm.


Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)
