OT: Best tailgating music?
As we near the upcoming season I always use the weekend before to brush off my tailgating gear and make sure everything is in good shape. Just wanted to get the Mgoblog community's take on some good tailgating music while a make a new play list for this year.

Being that 2011 is the year of J-LO, I'd probably bump some of her new stuff. On the Floor, Hypnotico, Papi are all probably top 25 songs of all time.
Akon is the greatest artist of all time (he never misses), some other good options are Ke$ha and Eminem.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
Your reccomendations are probably why your post is hidden.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
Just shows how dumb people are for not appreciating good music.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:55 PM ^
anything is going to sound worse live. Funny how you didn't pick her studio stuff, which is ultra-elite. It makes you feel good and it sounds good, which are the two main criteria for good music.
August 27th, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
That's not live. That is just a studio recording with the autotune removed.
KE$HA is a no talent ass clown that is only popular for her 36C's. If you can't with sing without autotune you have no right calling yourself a singer or a musician.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Death to Autotune.

This guy thinks Akon is the best of all time ... maybe he thinks these people can naturally make robot voices. That would be impressive, if they could.... just sayin'
August 27th, 2011 at 3:56 PM ^
Thanks for making my point. Not quite eloquently (I'd rather listen to chipmunks grinding their nails on a chalkboard) but effectively.
August 27th, 2011 at 3:20 PM ^
You won't be playing any Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground.....nothing like that then, eh? Not even, say, Human League or Talk Talk? Was Not Was?
August 27th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
I have a few led zeppelin and I have Pink floyd Have a cigar and Money
August 27th, 2011 at 3:28 PM ^
I was talking more to the person who suggested J-Lo and Akon, and maybe music passed me by when I turned 33 in July.......
August 27th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
I'm 21 and that "music" can go south to Ohio for all i care.

I'm usually driving to AA from Grand Rapids, so WTKA is off the table for the first couple of hours (not to mention the fact that their damn tune in radio station doesn't ever fricking work). This brings me to my more obscure, yet heartwarming, mix of muzak.
- The Dear Hunter: Act II. Everything on this album is amazing, especially Red Hands.
- Handsome: Self-titled. Voted one of Alternative Press Best Unknown Bands of the 90's
- Project 86: Drawing Black Lines. Good for rivalry games.
- Muse: The Resistance. Everything this band does is damn near genius.
- Jay-Z: The Black Album. Everyone needs to respect the guy holding Beyonce's purse.
- Random Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show podcasts. They keep the mood light and the laughs rolling. *Hopefully you check this stuff out. YouTube anything by The Dear Hunter. You won't be disappointed. Go Blue!

greatest hits albums along with some state radio and dispatch mixed in would be my playlist of choice
August 27th, 2011 at 3:57 PM ^
naturally, Built to Spill, American Football, Pedro the Lion, Brand New, Manchester Orchestra, etc.

Ever play New Order's cover of "Ceremony?" That's a fantastic song.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:27 PM ^
August 27th, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
The War on Drugs and Washed Out...no, those are just awesome bands. Probably not appropriate for tailgating, unless you're high.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:24 PM ^
you have enough songs that repeats don't happen. When I tailgated for the Big Chill game, there was a car that had Kid Rock's "Born Free" on a loop. I like Kid Rock and that was right when the song came out, I could never listen to it again. I was SO sick of that song after that...
August 27th, 2011 at 5:39 PM ^
Neil Young.
Neil Diamond.
Neil Sedaka.
Neil Peart.
August 27th, 2011 at 5:55 PM ^
thunderstruck
August 27th, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
with the speakers pointed toward the Big House. Michigan loves Slayer.

Did not like the movie honestly, but I am a huge Daft Punk fan and I own the soundtrack.
August 27th, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
dude, anyone asking for music advice really needs to give, say, five song examples just so we're in the right ballpark. There is a wide range of music. Narrow it down a little.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
As long as good drinks are flowing, anything works for me. My only required song is Phish doing Gin and Juice.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
The M marching band should be the music of choice.
August 27th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Why are half of these comments in bold? Or is that just my computer?
August 27th, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
Someone's html code went retarded.
August 28th, 2011 at 8:52 AM ^
80's metal FTW
A little bit of W.A.S.P., Poison, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden. Music everyone can fall in love to.
