Zevon had quite a few good songs that the radio rarely plays.

I'm burnt on Sweet Home Alabama, but I could still get into Tuesday's Gone, Curtis Loew, and a few others.

Yes, on one hand, Werewolves was one the biggest songs of its time; we all loved it as kids and teens. But aside from the nostalgia, I can skip it. Lawyers Guns & Money is something I'll sit and listen to. I think I'll be mentioning Skynyrd. I have no use for Kid Rock, he's like Vanilla Ice to me.

I like exactly 2 of Kid Rock's songs both posted here.

I like that whole Zevon album Excitable Boy. I also really like Laywers as well as the title track.
 
I'm the opposite on Kid Rock. I liked his earlier stuff like "I Am The Bullgod" and "Bawitdaba". I know they aren't "good", but they appeal to my immature Licensed To Ill side.

The non-country stuff of his works better for me.
His country stuff seems like an insincere cash grab to me. I don't blame someone for chasing the money, but it's just not my bag.
 
Agreed. I did make an exception for "Amen" (not great, but not bad), but yes the rest feels like he can cash in bigger being "Kid Redneck" instead of "Kid Rock".
 
If he’s putting out stuff people like, good for him and his fans. (Life would be boring if everyone liked the same music.) I don’t connect with it, but I’ve got a lot of other tunes to keep me happy.
 
98 mentioned Murray McLauchlan in another thread and this brought back memories. I had completely forgotten about him. This song probably wouldn't make my top 100 but it is a cool song. My favourite of his.
 
I've decided to share some of my top 10 of a particular artist list. The first (and I am doing them alphabetically -- I only have 5 compiled so far) is Bob Segar & The Silver Bullet Band:

10. Fire Lake
9. Shame on the Moon
8. Mainstreet
7. Old Time Rock & Roll
6. Hollywood Nights (my son's favourite)
5. Turn The Page
4. Roll Me Away
3. Still The Same
2. Night Moves (my son's 2nd favourite)
1. Against The Wind
 
Here's my casual preference rating of his songs:

3rd tier:
Fire Lake
Shame on the Moon
Roll Me Away
Still The Same
Against The Wind

2nd tier:
Mainstreet
Old Time Rock & Roll
Hollywood Nights
Katmandu
The Fire Down Below
Nine Tonight

1st tier:
Turn The Page
Night Moves
Feel Like a Number
 
I'd say these are my favorite Seger songs:

Against the Wind
Turn the Page
Fire Lake
Main Street
Night Moves
We've got Tonight
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man
Shakedown
Shame on the Moon
Still the Same
Her Strut
Hollywood Nights

Commercials inevitably ruin a song for me.

I hope Ratt "Round And Round" hasn't been ruined for you, what a great song. People keep raving about the commercial, but I thought it was just... oh. ha.

Anywhoo, my top 5 Seger:

1. The Fire Inside
2. Old Time Rock And Roll
3. Shakedown
4. Hollywood Nights
5. Rock and Roll Never Forgets
 
I thought the Ratt commercial was pretty good. Mostly because of the surprise of it and the play on words. The clog one was good. More than anything, I want to see if they can come up with other good puns.

The song has been played to death, but the commercial is pretty funny.

Hey, I forgot Rock and Roll Never Forgets; how ironic. I'd add that to my 2nd tier.
