I Can't Go Home Like This
Yep.
There's an mp3 further down.
This is the final installment of the vote-getters in Big Rock Candy Mountain's Top 100 Drinking Songs. But don't get a tear in yr beer quite yet.
Starting Monday we become the official home of the Top 100 list. We'll be posting about individual songs in the big list, and much, much more. Song samples (for evaluation purposes, of course) galore! We'll be covering all songs drinking, and we'll be your one-stop shop for all the boozy tunes you crave. We've got several guest posters lined up, and we encourage any of you to contribute. Any songs we've missed? Tell us about it. Great tunes that deserve more attention? Tell us about it.
We're aiming for two posts a week. Monday to help you recover, and Friday to get you ready for the weekend.
Pithy observations! Keen analysis! Swell rockin' tunes! Naked...well, probably no nudity.
We aim to please here at Barstool Mountain. Music for the people and by the people.
Come back Monday for our inaugural non-countdown post. I'm thinking we'll have a feller who's intials are M.E. to start us off. His band's initials are AMC, and he's created a besotted body of work over the last 20 years that would make the ocean proud.
Thanks for visiting.

Hurrah! Bring on the AMC. Looking forward to it.
Have a good weekend!
Check out Lucero's "Drink Til We're Gone"
Amy Winehouse's favorite drinking song:
Beat It
LOL!
It's funny though, that Rehab wasn't mentioned by anyone. I think it fits right in here on the lists as a great drinking song.
thanks for reminding me.
Rehab didn't make my Top Ten Drinking songs not featured here (yet) list either.
The list for possible votes was compiled just before Ms. Winehouse became a household name... if we'd started 3-4 months later, I'm sure that song would have made it at least to Barstool Mountain (though perhaps not the top 100).
