 The Album That Introduced Many People To Rock & Roll's Blues Roots October 2, 2008
George Thorogood & The Destroyers' self-titled debut album is also his best ever. What a lot of people who are against alcohol don't realize is that the drinking songs are just a facade for the fact that Thorogood introduced the majority of the rock audience to the music's blues roots. The best songs on this album are "Madison Blues and "Ride On Josephine", the latter of which is a Bo Diddley cover. Being that I don't drink, I feel that the aforementioned songs will be remembered long after "I Drink Alone" and "(If You Don't Start Drinkin') I'm Gonna Leave" have faded out of memory. This album is the first place to discover George Thorogood and his great, rootsy band.
 rock n roll July 26, 2008
some of the best all time good ol fashioned rock n roll america has to offer, really energetic, in your face, raw, the way it was always intended to be, perfect music to blast when youre in a dodge challenger waiting at the in n out drive through,.. nuff said
the best June 23, 2008
i own this baby on vinyl and cd and i have to say this stuff smokes. george thorogood produced one of the greatest debuts ever in my opinion he is unparalleled in his genre of rocks blues. all this stuff sounds fresh 30 years later tracks like bourbon scotch beer,ride on josephine and delaware slide have some of the greatest riffs of all time.so to sum up if your a fan of rock you need this album plain and simple.

I must admit that George's 1st 2 albums are his best. His own compositions can't match to the way he does the covers. However, he adds something of his own to the covers which - in my opinion - make them even better - & certainly more contemporary - than the originals !Just saw him live twice in the UK. Man, that guy put on a show ! Can't Stop Lovin' is probably my all time favourite song & I ain't talkin' Elmore James's version !
