I want to know what music everyone turns on when they are intoxicated! My favorites for drunky time are Gogol Bordello, anything really bassy (hip hop/electronica), and Christy Moore, depending on my mood. You?

I'm all about the blues when I'm drinking. Good mellow music that has incredible guitar solos.

I always get this urge to put on the nice headphones and listen to some classical music. Barber's Second Essay for Orchestra comes to mind right now...

I have a song that ALL of my friends know to play when I am hammered (I'm in college, excessive drinking happens, get over it). For some reason I feel the need to turn into a hard core rapper for this song even though I rarely listen to rap.

In the pre-brewing years of college I was known as late night DJ. Stumble in from the bar and usually rock out to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.
Now I'm married with a newborn daughter, and still to this day listen to nothing but The Boss while drinkin some good homebrew.

Debussy has some good stuff, Prelude to the afternoon of a faun comes to mind.

If I am drinking alone then anything Conor Oberst. Shoegaze is nice too, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Moose, Jesus and Mary Chain etc. Maybe Elliott Smith, depends on how ****ty I'm feeling.
If with friends playing vidya games: noise, punk, and DANCE MUSIC. Boris, Fugazi, The Faint, LCD Soundsystem, Crystal Castles. Anything that sounds awesome really.

Taylor Swift. Apparently I end up confessing my undying love for her when intoxicated. It could happen though... right? I mean, were nearly the same age >.>

Red Dirt/Texas Country is great drinking music.

man I love Elliott Smith. Depressing or not, his music is incredible. My brother put it best when he explained how Elliott Smith doesn't depress him "no matter how bad I'm feeling, I know I'm not feeling as sh*tty as he was."
Normally I listen to stuff that I would listen to sober. The Mountain Goats are awesome and I've been listening to them a lot. The lyrics are so unbelievably straight-forward without being pretentious or empty. There is a lot of depth to John Darnielle's lyrics that I can really appreciate. Too many lyricists today seem to either a) come straight out and say things with no metaphor or meaning... or b) try to veil their terrible terrible lyrics with metaphors that make you want to puke (rob thomas, anyone?)
Anyone who can sing about death, depression, heartbreak or any other travesty and still make me smile is OK in my book.
Neutral Milk Hotel is another fun one.....man just about anything I listen to normally is great
"And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking...and your dad would dream of all the different ways to die, each one a little more than he could dare to try"
forgot to add...
Once at a bar I was amazed to find "zolof and the rock and roll destroyer" (poppy punk girl music) on the jukebox....I calmly selected a song of theirs and hang my head to remain inconspicuous as I enjoyed it :fro:

You seem to have pretty cool taste, sir. I love me some Mountain Goats as well, I'm seeing them live on the 5th, can't wait. NMH is fun too, I drove home from visiting my parents the other day blasting Aeroplane. (not drunk ofc)
I can't really listen to Elliott sober anymore, I had a friend who went through some pretty terrible things recently who was always big on Elliott. Reminds me of bad times.

Metal or hair bands until it's annoying and then classic rock. The blues is sacred music for brew days brother.
Great call, though I like em sober too.

I am starting this back up (because I am always late on threads) and I enjoy this one. I am going to agree with coloneforbin (great name by the way) on Phish and the Grateful Dead when it gets real late maybe a lil more mellow with String Cheese Incident or Jerry Garcia Band
