1. "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain...great riff, great lyrics, great cowbell. The holy grail of Big Dumb Rock Songs.
2. "Love Removal Machine" by the Cult...a close, close second. Good guitar heroics, nuance-free bellowing vocals, no cowbell. "Check this one!" Rock on, dude.
3. "Take It So Hard" by Keith Richards...so ramshackle and seemingly tossed-off, yet soooo cool. He was the musical guest on SNL when this album came out, and I taped it and watched it over and over. Every time my dad saw it he said the same thing: "He sucks." Yeahhhh...

Yes! Great foot-stompin', beer drinkin' cowbell!
had to scroll back a bit to find some delicious idiot rock, but here it is! I listened to my iPod on genre shuffle last night and this morning (on METAL) and it felt good.
Sorry things aren't going so great for you at the moment, but thanks to CF at least I know you're blogging. It makes me happy.
