Ever wondered what happens when your family's swimming in the pool while you're broadcasting live? Welcome to my world! In this special Friday Night Live episode, I'm coming to you after a brief hiatus with the ultimate tribute to American rock legend Bob Seger.
Life has been throwing curveballs lately—demanding work schedules and family obligations have kept me from our regular dates. After attending a celebration of life earlier today (with family still partying poolside), I decided it was time to reconnect with you through one of music's most authentic voices. My buddy Larry Reidy suggested a Bob Seger countdown, and I couldn't resist turning it into a full top 20 spectacular.
What makes Seger's music so enduring? Perhaps it's how his Detroit rock sound captures something quintessentially American—working-class anthems that feel like your dad singing if your dad happened to be one of rock's greatest voices. From the pre-Silver Bullet Band era through his commercial peak in the late 70s and 80s, Seger crafted songs that stick with you for life. His lyrical craftsmanship shines in tracks like "Fire Lake" (with backing vocals from Eagles members) and "Night Moves" (a coming-of-age tale that still resonates decades later).
Some surprising entries made my list, including "Little Drummer Boy" at number three—trust me, Seger's passionate delivery transforms this holiday standard into something transcendent. Meanwhile, "Shame on the Moon" claims the top spot, showcasing how Seger could take a country song and make it entirely his own.
Between family interruptions, Malört shots (that stuff is horrible!), and Bean Boozled challenges, this episode captures the unfiltered Friday night energy that makes live broadcasting so unpredictable and fun. Subscribe to catch more episodes, and help me reach my goal of 500 subscribers by year's end—your musical journey with the Ben Maynard Program is just getting started!

Who doesn't love French fries?
(11:44):
I love French fries.
French fries are great, youknow.
But who do you think has thebest French fries, though?
I know, years and years ago,everybody used to say McDonald's
had the best French fries, andI think that I think there was
some truth to that.
That was probably when theywere frying in beef beef tallow
(12:10):
and not, you know, like an, anoil-based shortening, but they
did.
They used to have really goodFrench fries, really really good
ones.
Who else has good?
You know some, I'll tell you.
Okay, I'm sorry For those ofyou elsewhere in the country.
I'm sure you've heard of thisplace In-N-Out Good burgers, not

so good fries.
They just really aren't.
I do not care for In-N-Outfries, that's me, not everybody
else.
But I don't know who else hasgood fries, though it's hard to
say, and I'll tell you what.
I think Carl's Jr has goodfries.
(12:53):
I think Jack in the Box hasgood fries too, although I
haven't eaten at Jack in the Boxin probably like 10 years.
I haven't eaten at Carl's Jr inquite a while as well, but I
love me a nice curly fry.
Spicy curly fry yeah good stuff.
Or a good seasoned one.
Waffle fries are good.
(13:14):
Oh, a couple weeks ago we hadgone to Boots in the Park.

There was another Boots in thePark.
Remember we had gone back inMarch and a couple of weeks ago

So this here, what we're doingtonight, was a recommendation
from my good buddy, larry Reedy,and I don't remember what I did
(22:00):
.
I think it was my celebrationof 50 years of Aerosmith's Toys.
In the Attic, larry made acomment and he says hey, you
should do a Bob Seger top 10.
And so I was like, okay,challenge accepted, except I
couldn't do a top 10.
(22:20):
And so I was like, okay,challenge accepted, except I
couldn't do a top 10.
I had to go all out and do atop 20.
Okay, so I've got a Bob Segertop 20 here that we're going to
go over and, in all transparency, okay, let's see what am I
doing here.
I'm talking to you people hereon TikTok.
Yeah, all right.
So, in all transparency, look,I don't go deep into Bob Seger
(22:50):
when I say that I don't know thecatalog inside and out and I
could do 20 songs, no problem atall.
In fact I didn't have much of aproblem.
But, like I said, I don't godeep.
So I'm going to tell you rightnow my top 20 are going to
(23:12):
primarily be like the hitsYou're going to know, you're
probably going to know everysingle one of these and you'll
be like dude, that's like agreatest hits list right there,
and it probably will be, butit's just dynamite songs, just
dynamite stuff.
(23:35):
So, yeah, and what I did do, Ithink most of the focus, most of
the focus is on Bob Seger andthe silver bullet band.
So the silver bullet band yearsOkay, there's a couple of songs
that predate the silver bulletband, um, but uh, yeah, it's.
Um, but uh, yeah, it's.
(23:58):
It's pretty much all all thatera and that covers about a 13,
13, 14 year span.
Now, um, for those of you whodon't know, bob Seger goes, you
know, way back.
He was in a couple of bands inthe sixties and, and I think,
around the turn of the decade,60s to 70s, he was in a what was
(24:23):
his band called?
It was Shoot.
I can't remember the name of itnow I was reading it.
It might have been Bob Segerand the System or something
along those lines, but it wasaround late 72, early 73.
It might've been 73, 73 into 74.
And that's when he got the guysin to form the silver bullet
(24:47):
band and, um, that's really whenhis career took off.
I was amazed when I saw some ofthe numbers of the albums.
Uh, the various albums andthey're they're selling numbers.
I mean incredible.
But this should be, because BobSeger is like, how do you
(25:11):
describe Bob Seger?
It's like it's like good oldrock and roll, it's blues based,
but it's like that Detroit rockand roll, almost like from the
heartland type stuff, the middleof the country, let's put it
that way and like working man'smusic, so to speak, like just
(25:38):
basically like Americana, andjust I mean, come on, who
doesn't know Bob Seger and theSilver Bullet Band and who
doesn't love Bob Seger and theSilver Bullet Band?
Before we get going, beforesomebody else busts into the
studio, I'm going to go aheadand take this shot of Malort.
Okay, this is all for everyonehere.
(25:58):
Cheers.
Terrible stuff, oh, horrible.
What's the bean?
Oh, the beans, oh, and the beanis bad.
Oh, I don't know what it is,but it tastes terrible, oh, oh,
and the bean is bad.
Oh, I don't know what it is,but it tastes terrible, oh, oh,
(26:20):
it's bad.
Okay, beautiful, it's likestuck in my teeth now.
Too Bad, so bad, whatever, allright, right, moving on.
(26:43):
So let's get into this.
Um, this top 20.
Uh, let's see if I can remember.
I think I can.
I think there's, uh, hmm, Ithink there's one or two songs
that like, like I said, predatethe Silver Bullet Band and if
they aren't on there, I thinkthey were on my overall list
(27:05):
that I cut down to 20 songs, sowe'll see who joined.
Gloria Maldonado joined.
Well, cool, thanks, gloria.
Let's not waste any moreprecious time.
Okay, let's get into this.
(27:26):
So at number 20, off of theNight Moves album, we start with
Rock and Roll Never Forgets.
Okay, you guys should know thatone.
It's a good one.
It's not one of the well, Ishouldn't say it's not one of
the more well-known songs.
It is, and it got played onrock radio all the time, all the
(27:49):
time.
But it's a good one.
Night Moves came trying toremember what year Night Moose
was 75, something like that.
(28:09):
No, no, no, no.
Beautiful Loser was 75.
77, I think, 78.
Okay.
So in the number 19 spot,beautiful Loser, the title track
from the album Beautiful Loser,that one was 1975.
All right.
And in the number 18 spot, thisis such a cool song.
(28:36):
It's such a cool song.
It's a cover song as well.
I should have written it down.
I don't remember who theoriginal artist was, but it's a
live version.
It's off of the Nine Tonightalbum which I think came out in
(28:57):
1981.
And it's funny, bob introducesit.
He says something like hey,y'all want to get funky tonight?
And the crowd roars.
He says, all right, well, we'regoing to do a.
He says this is an old Memphissong.
Old Memphis song Goes like this.
And then they get right into itand it's trying to live my life
(29:21):
without you.
It is so good it's.
You know my?
And I heard something.
Now, alto Reed, I believe, isthe saxophone player.
Yeah, alto Reed's the saxplayer in the Silver Bullet Band
.
Now, I don't know if I madethis up or I heard this, but
apparently Alto Reed can play,or could at least at one time
(29:46):
play, two saxophones at the sametime.
I don't know how you do itbecause I can't play the
saxophone.
I don't play an instrument atall, but that's what I heard.
And if that's, if that's thecase, man, that is awesome.
All right, uh, let's see Numbernumber, number number 17.
(30:10):
All right, number 17,.
Uh, from the Back in 72 album.
This is pre-Silver Bullet Band.
That is Turn the Page.
Everyone knows that.
One right, come on, that's theone on the road Gosh, I remember
(30:31):
the lyrics.
But walking into a bar on asnowy night and all this kind of
thing.
And in the 90s Metallica did acover of that song and they
actually stayed very, very trueto the original version of it.
They really did A little bit,you know, a little harder and
(30:54):
heavier.
Of course it's Metallica, butthey really stayed very true to
the original.
So Turn the Page is at number17.
And then from the Against theWind album, at number 16 is Her
Strut.
You know they love to watch HerStrut, right?
Yeah, I think that one was 1980, I think is that album.
(31:21):
I should have written it downbut I didn't.
All right, so now we're atnumber 15 and we go back to the
Beautiful Loser album andCatmandu.
That is such a just a rockingsong.
It's actually really, it'sreally good on on the Beautiful
Loser album.
But then if you listen to it onum, what's the album?
(31:47):
It's the live version.
I think it's called Live Bullet.
Yeah, live Bullet.
I think that came out in 76 andthat Katmandu version is is
even better.
But but that, uh, that studioversion is really really cool,
really really cool.
Good, good song.
And you know what, if you guyshave pen and paper, you should
write these down, all right?
(32:15):
Uh, let's see Number 14 from1987's album Like a Rock.
It's the title track Like aRock.
If you guys remember that song,some of you are going to be old
enough to remember.
Uh, some of you won't rememberit all, but there was an ad
(32:38):
campaign for Chevy trucks andthey used that song like a rock.
Yeah, and Bob allowed that tohappen because, again, being
from basically the Motor Cityexcuse me that Malort's coming
(33:01):
up now Woo, uh, but being fromthe Motor City, you know, he, he
, you know it's just like, likeI said, uh, you know it's
working man and all that, and hewas.
He let the song be used in thead campaign to kind of show
support for the uh, for theAmerican auto workers.
So that was really cool, allright.
(33:24):
Um, number 13 is from uh wasalbum was released in 1982.
The distance, I think it's a, Ithink it's just got dynamite
material on there and that'sRoll Me Away.
I think that is the thirdsingle that was released off of
(33:46):
that album.
The album came out in 82.
The song was released in 83.
Let's see Number 12 is I thinkit's 78.
I think it goes back to 78.
The album is Stranger in Townand the song is We've Got
(34:08):
Tonight.
Just a beautiful ballad, just abeautiful ballad.
And uh, bob seger's version isso awesome, but I think c78, so
that would be 83.
Five years later, kenny rogersand sheena easton did a duet.
(34:37):
They turned, they made thatsong into a duet and just I mean
, that thing went into thestratosphere.
I think it topped out at likenumber six on the hot 100 and it
was there for a little bit.
It was a big, big song.
So I'm sure that Bob was realhappy with that.
He was real happy with themailbox money.
On that one I would be too.
(34:57):
But I really do like the KennyRogers Sheena Easton version.
It took me a little bit to getused to it because I was so used
to at the time Bob's version,the original version of the song
.
But it did take me a little bit, especially it being a duet.
(35:18):
But I do.
I love that version.
However, there's something to besaid about the original and
there's just like a lot of Bobbrings a lot of passion to it
and a lot of feeling and a lotof heart and it's really really
good.
It is so good.
So we've got tonight that one'sat number 12.
(35:40):
We go to a number, we go tonumber 11.
And again from the albumStranger in Town, the song Feel
Like a Number in town.
The song Feel Like a Number,really really good song.
(36:01):
Well, it better be good,because I have it at number 11,
you know.
So it better be good.
You know, feel Like a Number,Feel Like a Stranger Stranger in
this Town, it's such a goodsong, just good groove, you know
, you can really dance to it.
Speaking of which, we're goingto crack the top 10 now.
(36:32):
And at number 10, again from thealbum Stranger in Town, is you
guys all know this one.
Just picture tom cruise slidingacross the wood floor in an
oxford shirt and his underwear,oh, and his socks too.
Okay, old time rock and roll.
What a just a cool song.
(36:53):
Just take those old records offthe shelf, right?
I said I listened to them bymyself.
Yeah, so I know that's.
It's like that song is, so it's.
You can't think of anything elsebut Tom Cruise in Risky
Business when you hear that song.
You just can't think ofanything else but Tom Cruise in
(37:14):
Risky Business.
When you hear that song, youjust can't.
They just like go hand in hand.
Really really good song, though, Groovy song, nice funky dance
song.
I mean, I shouldn't say dancesong, but you can really, you
know, bop your head and stompyour feet to it.
Okay, so number nine Again.
(37:37):
I had no idea when I was doingthis, but the fourth song in a
row from Stranger in Town isStill the Same.
What a really cool song.
Just kind of mellow song, Imean, it's not really mellow,
but it but it is.
(37:57):
Uh, it is a little bit lighter,but it's just a really cool
song, and I can say that aboutjust about every single song on
this list.
It's just a really really coolsong.
What else are you gonna do?
You know, uh, to me, bob segerand the silver Silver Bullet
Band, it's like Americana, youknow.
So it's just, it's good stuff.
(38:19):
And you know, I guess back thenit would kind of, especially
after he cut his hair,especially after he cut his hair
, because in the seventies hehad really long hair.
But after Bob cut his hair,even with the beard he had
really long hair.
But after Bob cut his hair,even with the beard, he starts,
starts getting a little salt andpeppery and it's like.
(38:43):
It's like your dad singing.
You know, your dad's up theresinging.
That's kind of what it's like,you know.
So, just just so good, so good.
Um, all right.
So we're up to number eight, andI think I talked about this
album before.
I think this was released in1980, I think it was 80, I think
(39:07):
it was.
It could have been 81.
I don't know.
Somewhere around there thealbum is Against the Wind and at
number eight, the title trackAgainst the Wind.
Who doesn't know that one?
Just so good, so good.
Yeah, just really, really good.
You know, I just stop and Idon't want to say my eyes roll
(39:31):
back in my head, but I stop andI just kind of look up a little
bit and I just start running thesong through my head Just so
good.
I'm probably going to and Ipromise you I probably could
take this list, my top 20, andmake a playlist out of it.
I probably will.
I have a couple of honorablementions too.
(39:52):
That didn't make it, but Idon't have to find them.
Oh, one, definitely one is from1969.
It's Rambling, gambling man,just a funky song, good song,
kind of.
I don't want to say I don'twant to say bluesy, I don't know
(40:14):
.
It's just hard to describe.
I shouldn't say it's hard todescribe.
It's just that good old, youknow working man's rock and roll
and rambling gambling man.
Yeah, so that was kind of anhonorable mention because it did
not make the list.
I'm just letting you know thatright now.
Um, what else?
Oh, number seven.
(40:34):
Number seven we go back to thenight Moves album and Main
Street.
What a cool.
I love the lead guitar in thatsong.
It's always like from the firsttime I heard that song when I
(40:56):
was a kid, you know, just reallygot me that lead guitar in
there.
It's such a such a tasty soundand it's really really cool.
Love it, love it, Love it, loveit.
So Main Street at number seven.
Number six.
Number six comes from theDistance album, again 1982.
(41:21):
And this one is the secondsingle released off of that
album and it's Even Now and it'sa more up-tempo song.
Really cool.
You guys got to check thisstuff out.
I wish I could play music onhere, and you know what's funny
about playing music on thispodcast is I actually got away
(41:44):
with it and didn't.
I was crossing my fingers as itwas happening too, and I know
I'm getting way off track here,but a couple episodes back,
you'll all remember that I hadAir Force Amy on here and we
talked a little bit about musicand she busted open her phone
and she was telling me whatshe's currently listening to and
(42:04):
on her playlist she had somedoggone it.
What do you call it?
Oh, geez, now I got a braincramp Trying to remember the
guy's name.
Shoot, I don't know, it'll comeback to me.
(42:26):
Anyway, she played the song andI was thinking the whole time,
oh, it's going to get muted,it's going to get muted.
And when I played it back, no,the whole thing played.
It was great the little bit.
I mean, she played like 30seconds of it.
Shoot, why can't?
Why?
Great, great, great, great,great singer, great singer,
(42:49):
great singer from the 70s and80s, and did a song with Grover
Washington Jr too.
No, I can't.
I just I don't know, I'm braincramping on it.
It'll come back to me, it will.
Anyway.
So, even now, that's at numbersix, from the distance, and
again, like I said, I wish Icould play music, but it'll get
(43:11):
muted One of these days.
One of these days, at numberfive, we cracked the top five.
That's awesome, right.
We go back to the album Strangerin Town and everybody knows
this one Hollywood Nights, greatup-tempo song about you know
(43:41):
people, kind of you know a girlcoming to Hollywood to fulfill
her dream.
Well, kind of not so much,because if you listen to the
lyrics she's she's ends up doingsome things she probably
shouldn't be doing.
Doing some things she probablyshouldn't be doing, whether it
was in the backseat of a car orwhatever you know.
(44:03):
But yeah, it's a good songthough.
What a good song.
A good groove, a great uptempoand just a great beat.
Good, good, good, good, goodstuff.
It's might've been, might'vebeen.
My first exposure to uh, bobSeger and the silver bullet band
was a Hollywood nights Umnumber four.
(44:26):
We go back to the night movesalbum and the title track night
moves, come on it's.
I mean that's like that.
Come on it's.
I mean that's like that.
If you're you know, if you're ayoung man, teenage or even
(44:48):
slightly older, in your earlytwenties or something, listening
to that song, I mean you'rejust getting.
I mean sorry, but you'regetting kind of ramped up, just
talking about a guy and a girland just the things that they
would do to sneak off and get alittle hibbity, dibbity.
I used her, she used me, butneither one care we were getting
(45:12):
our share.
What does it say?
How's that go?
Let me see, you know what doesit say?
How's that go?
Let me see.
Crap, what was it?
Something about?
Backrooms, alleys, trusty woods, you know that kind of stuff.
It just, you know, when you're,like I said, you're talking,
(45:33):
you know talking he's talkingabout when he was, you know, a
teenager.
So just, uh, silly stuff, butbut it just it kind of like
takes you back to that time.
Uh, at least it does for me,and and for me, that's what
music does Uh just with about,uh, just with, just about.
(45:55):
Every song that I hear it'lltake me back to a place in time
and I just have these little,you know, memories of, like
every song, doesn't matter whothe artist is, it's crazy, it's
crazy.
(46:16):
So Night Moves is at number four.
What a good song.
Now, this one, you guys aren'tgoing to believe.
This is crazy.
You guys aren't even going tobelieve this one.
All right, number three, and Iimplore you, if you've been
around, if you've been aroundwith me for any stretch of time,
(46:37):
at least during the holidays,you guys know that I always put
together my top 10 Christmassongs.
Okay, and this particular songis on the list and it's got to
be on the top 20 here.
Is that good?
And at number three, it littledrummer boy.
(47:02):
It is that good to where it isthat high on my list and it's
from a compilation album with abunch of other artists.
It's, I think it's called avery special christmas, so check
it out.
Just in your, in your searchfor, for music or whatever.
Just look, just search forlittle drummer boy, bob Seger,
(47:23):
and that's it.
And you know, take you right toit.
It is so good.
The, the, just the passion, thepassion and the emotion that
Bob puts forth in this song ashe's singing it, I mean just
gets me every time, every singletime, Ooh, that takes us up to
(47:48):
number two, Number two.
This one is off of the albumAgainst the Wind, the album
Against the Wind, and if itwasn't for the number one song,
(48:10):
this one would be number one.
And it's Fire Lake.
What an awesome song.
And I just you know I love howBob crafts lyrics.
It's just you know, if you guysknow me at all and you hear me
talk about music from time totime, you know I'm a lyric guy,
I love lyrics and Bob just has agreat way of crafting lyrics,
(48:32):
and Fire Lake is no different.
It's so good and it's gotbacking vocals by, I think, don
Henley, timothy B Schmidt andGlenn Fry from the Eagles, and
you can really, you really canhear them during the chorus.
(48:53):
You can hear them reallysinging it out and it's so good.
So, so, so good.
You know, takes us to numberone.
Right Brings us to number one.
Number one, one, one, one,whatever.
This is from the album, the1982 album, the Distance, and
(49:21):
when I started to put this listtogether, this one already, it
just took the number one spot.
That was it.
So I just had to go from 20 totwo.
That was it, because this onewas already number one.
No question at all.
Absolutely killer song.
(49:42):
Love this song to pieces.
It is so, so good.
It's a cover song too, which isinteresting.
The original version of thissong was done by a country
artist named Rodney Crowell andhe released it, I think the year
(50:03):
before.
Didn't do anything.
Bob takes a hold of this andthis song went to number two on
the Hot 100.
I'm trying to think Was thereone song or two songs that kept
it out of the number one spot?
I know Billie Jean was one ofthem.
(50:25):
I don't remember if there wasanother song that kept it out of
the number one spot, but BillieJean definitely did.
The song is Shame, wow, it isso, so good.
And again, bob gets a littlebit of help on background vocals
from his buddies in the eagles,glenn fry, and I think I don't
(50:50):
remember if don henley was on it, but timothy b schmidt was, um,
but really, really good, reallygood.
I'm telling you people, you gotto make a playlist, you got to
do it.
Now, another honorable mention,one that didn't make it, was
Betty Lou's Going Out Tonight.
That's just a little, you know.
(51:10):
You know a little rock androller, a little boogie song, so
good.
And the Horizontal Bop.
The Horizontal Bop's just a funsong and you know, I like it
and it's a good song, I like itand, like I said, it's fun.
But yeah, I just couldn't putit in the top 20.
(51:35):
I just couldn't do it.
So I'm going to run them downreally quick and let you guys
get out of here and enjoy yourweekends.
All right, let's run them downreal quick from number 20 back

down, write out a show plan,invite guests, all those kinds.
I mean just everything that'sbeen going on.
Plus, you know there's beensome stuff going on in the
family on Catherine's side andeverything's good.
It's just you know there's beena couple of deaths in her
(06:18):
family.
She lost an aunt, just aboutthree.
See, we had see the funeral.
I think was like three weeksago yesterday, two weeks ago two
weeks we had to the funeral.
I think was like three weeksago yesterday, two weeks ago,
two weeks ago yesterday yeah, Ithink it was two weeks ago.
Oof and um.
It was on a Thursday.
Um, I happen to have the dayoff afterwards, so it worked out
really well for me.
(06:39):
Um and then um, and thenCatherine's sister-in-law passed
away, and today were theservices, and then we had the
celebration of life here at thehouse as well.
So I'm up here in studio and Ihave family outside in my pool.

They're having a good timeSince most of the crowd left.
All the family that likes tostay late and enjoy themselves,
and we love having them.
They're out there taking in thepool and I'm up here spending
my time with you.
I love it though.
(07:22):
So those kind of things havebeen going on and it just like I
said, it's just.
It's been pretty brutal thelast few weeks.
So just yeah, not intentionallytaking some time off.
All of that has been takingaway the extra time.
(07:45):
Let's say that.
Okay, but just like usual,every Friday Night Live, we got
the same stuff going on.
It's right here.

So today is National French FryDay.
Who doesn't love French fries?
(11:44):
I love French fries.
French fries are great, youknow.
But who do you think has thebest French fries, though?
I know, years and years ago,everybody used to say McDonald's
had the best French fries, andI think that I think there was
some truth to that.
That was probably when theywere frying in beef beef tallow
(12:10):
and not, you know, like an, anoil-based shortening, but they
did.
They used to have really goodFrench fries, really really good
ones.
Who else has good?
You know some, I'll tell you.
Okay, I'm sorry For those ofyou elsewhere in the country.
I'm sure you've heard of thisplace In-N-Out Good burgers, not
(12:33):
so good fries.
They just really aren't.
I do not care for In-N-Outfries, that's me, not everybody
else.
But I don't know who else hasgood fries, though it's hard to
say, and I'll tell you what.
I think Carl's Jr has goodfries.
(12:53):
I think Jack in the Box hasgood fries too, although I
haven't eaten at Jack in the Boxin probably like 10 years.
I haven't eaten at Carl's Jr inquite a while as well, but I
love me a nice curly fry.
Spicy curly fry yeah good stuff.
Or a good seasoned one.
Waffle fries are good.
(13:14):
Oh, a couple weeks ago we hadgone to Boots in the Park.
Remember we had gone back inMarch and a couple weeks ago we

There was another Boots in thePark.
Remember we had gone back inMarch and a couple of weeks ago

You know, probably his biggestroles are the King and I and the
Ten Commandments.
I remember the first time I sawYul Brynner was in the original
Westworld.
I think that movie was about1973, 1974.
(15:46):

Yul Brynner was the bad guy.
He was so eerie and creepy.
Good, good, good, bad guy.

That was 1767.
(17:18):
I'm trying to just do this kindof in order.
In 1804, aaron Burr killsAlexander Hamilton in a duel.
Alexander Hamilton waspresident at the time.
That sucks.
How about this day in 1914?
Babe Ruth, yes, the greatBambino, the Sultan of SWAT,

It launched in 1973, and Skylabwas the world's first
successful space station.
The first manned Skylab missioncame two years after.
Oh, and then it stops.
So, yeah, that was this day inhistory, cool huh?

But he'll do like a this Day inHistory.

(21:34):
He doesn't have a videocomponent to it, but just like
this podcast, it's wherever youstream your podcast.
So check him out and, yeah,help out my good buddy, larry.
So this here, what we're doingtonight, was a recommendation
from my good buddy, larry Reedy,and I don't remember what I did
(22:00):
.
I think it was my celebrationof 50 years of Aerosmith's Toys.
In the Attic, larry made acomment and he says hey, you
should do a Bob Seger top 10.
And so I was like, okay,challenge accepted, except I
couldn't do a top 10.
(22:20):
And so I was like, okay,challenge accepted, except I
couldn't do a top 10.
I had to go all out and do atop 20.
Okay, so I've got a Bob Segertop 20 here that we're going to
go over and, in all transparency, okay, let's see what am I
doing here.
I'm talking to you people hereon TikTok.
Yeah, all right.
So, in all transparency, look,I don't go deep into Bob Seger
(22:50):
when I say that I don't know thecatalog inside and out and I
could do 20 songs, no problem atall.
In fact I didn't have much of aproblem.
But, like I said, I don't godeep.
So I'm going to tell you rightnow my top 20 are going to
(23:12):
primarily be like the hitsYou're going to know, you're
probably going to know everysingle one of these and you'll
be like dude, that's like agreatest hits list right there,
and it probably will be, butit's just dynamite songs, just
dynamite stuff.
(23:35):
So, yeah, and what I did do, Ithink most of the focus, most of
the focus is on Bob Seger andthe silver bullet band.
So the silver bullet band yearsOkay, there's a couple of songs
that predate the silver bulletband, um, but uh, yeah, it's.
Um, but uh, yeah, it's.
(23:58):
It's pretty much all all thatera and that covers about a 13,
13, 14 year span.
Now, um, for those of you whodon't know, bob Seger goes, you
know, way back.
He was in a couple of bands inthe sixties and, and I think,
around the turn of the decade,60s to 70s, he was in a what was
(24:23):
his band called?
It was Shoot.
I can't remember the name of itnow I was reading it.
It might have been Bob Segerand the System or something
along those lines, but it wasaround late 72, early 73.
It might've been 73, 73 into 74.
And that's when he got the guysin to form the silver bullet
(24:47):
band and, um, that's really whenhis career took off.
I was amazed when I saw some ofthe numbers of the albums.
Uh, the various albums andthey're they're selling numbers.
I mean incredible.
But this should be, because BobSeger is like, how do you
(25:11):
describe Bob Seger?
It's like it's like good oldrock and roll, it's blues based,
but it's like that Detroit rockand roll, almost like from the
heartland type stuff, the middleof the country, let's put it
that way and like working man'smusic, so to speak, like just
(25:38):
basically like Americana, andjust I mean, come on, who
doesn't know Bob Seger and theSilver Bullet Band and who
doesn't love Bob Seger and theSilver Bullet Band?
Before we get going, beforesomebody else busts into the
studio, I'm going to go aheadand take this shot of Malort.
Okay, this is all for everyonehere.
(25:58):
Cheers.
Terrible stuff, oh, horrible.
What's the bean?
Oh, the beans, oh, and the beanis bad.
Oh, I don't know what it is,but it tastes terrible, oh, oh,
and the bean is bad.
Oh, I don't know what it is,but it tastes terrible, oh, oh,
(26:20):
it's bad.
Okay, beautiful, it's likestuck in my teeth now.
Too Bad, so bad, whatever, allright, right, moving on.
(26:43):
So let's get into this.
Um, this top 20.
Uh, let's see if I can remember.
I think I can.
I think there's, uh, hmm, Ithink there's one or two songs
that like, like I said, predatethe Silver Bullet Band and if
they aren't on there, I thinkthey were on my overall list
(27:05):
that I cut down to 20 songs, sowe'll see who joined.
Gloria Maldonado joined.
Well, cool, thanks, gloria.
Let's not waste any moreprecious time.
Okay, let's get into this.
(27:26):
So at number 20, off of theNight Moves album, we start with
Rock and Roll Never Forgets.
Okay, you guys should know thatone.
It's a good one.
It's not one of the well, Ishouldn't say it's not one of
the more well-known songs.
It is, and it got played onrock radio all the time, all the
(27:49):
time.
But it's a good one.
Night Moves came trying toremember what year Night Moose
was 75, something like that.
(28:09):
No, no, no, no.
Beautiful Loser was 75.
77, I think, 78.
Okay.
So in the number 19 spot,beautiful Loser, the title track
from the album Beautiful Loser,that one was 1975.
All right.
And in the number 18 spot, thisis such a cool song.
(28:36):
It's such a cool song.
It's a cover song as well.
I should have written it down.
I don't remember who theoriginal artist was, but it's a
live version.
It's off of the Nine Tonightalbum which I think came out in
(28:57):
1981.
And it's funny, bob introducesit.
He says something like hey,y'all want to get funky tonight?
And the crowd roars.
He says, all right, well, we'regoing to do a.
He says this is an old Memphissong.
Old Memphis song Goes like this.
And then they get right into itand it's trying to live my life
(29:21):
without you.
It is so good it's.
You know my?
And I heard something.
Now, alto Reed, I believe, isthe saxophone player.
Yeah, alto Reed's the saxplayer in the Silver Bullet Band
.
Now, I don't know if I madethis up or I heard this, but
apparently Alto Reed can play,or could at least at one time
(29:46):
play, two saxophones at the sametime.
I don't know how you do itbecause I can't play the
saxophone.
I don't play an instrument atall, but that's what I heard.
And if that's, if that's thecase, man, that is awesome.
All right, uh, let's see Numbernumber, number number 17.
(30:10):
All right, number 17,.
Uh, from the Back in 72 album.
This is pre-Silver Bullet Band.
That is Turn the Page.
Everyone knows that.
One right, come on, that's theone on the road Gosh, I remember
(30:31):
the lyrics.
But walking into a bar on asnowy night and all this kind of
thing.
And in the 90s Metallica did acover of that song and they
actually stayed very, very trueto the original version of it.
They really did A little bit,you know, a little harder and
(30:54):
heavier.
Of course it's Metallica, butthey really stayed very true to
the original.
So Turn the Page is at number17.
And then from the Against theWind album, at number 16 is Her
Strut.
You know they love to watch HerStrut, right?
Yeah, I think that one was 1980, I think is that album.
(31:21):
I should have written it downbut I didn't.
All right, so now we're atnumber 15 and we go back to the
Beautiful Loser album andCatmandu.
That is such a just a rockingsong.
It's actually really, it'sreally good on on the Beautiful
Loser album.
But then if you listen to it onum, what's the album?
(31:47):
It's the live version.
I think it's called Live Bullet.
Yeah, live Bullet.
I think that came out in 76 andthat Katmandu version is is
even better.
But but that, uh, that studioversion is really really cool,
really really cool.
Good, good song.
And you know what, if you guyshave pen and paper, you should
write these down, all right?
(32:15):
Uh, let's see Number 14 from1987's album Like a Rock.
It's the title track Like aRock.
If you guys remember that song,some of you are going to be old
enough to remember.
Uh, some of you won't rememberit all, but there was an ad
(32:38):
campaign for Chevy trucks andthey used that song like a rock.
Yeah, and Bob allowed that tohappen because, again, being
from basically the Motor Cityexcuse me that Malort's coming
(33:01):
up now Woo, uh, but being fromthe Motor City, you know, he, he
, you know it's just like, likeI said, uh, you know it's
working man and all that, and hewas.
He let the song be used in thead campaign to kind of show
support for the uh, for theAmerican auto workers.
So that was really cool, allright.
(33:24):
Um, number 13 is from uh wasalbum was released in 1982.
The distance, I think it's a, Ithink it's just got dynamite
material on there and that'sRoll Me Away.
I think that is the thirdsingle that was released off of
(33:46):
that album.
The album came out in 82.
The song was released in 83.
Let's see Number 12 is I thinkit's 78.
I think it goes back to 78.
The album is Stranger in Townand the song is We've Got
(34:08):
Tonight.
Just a beautiful ballad, just abeautiful ballad.
And uh, bob seger's version isso awesome, but I think c78, so
that would be 83.
Five years later, kenny rogersand sheena easton did a duet.
(34:37):
They turned, they made thatsong into a duet and just I mean
, that thing went into thestratosphere.
I think it topped out at likenumber six on the hot 100 and it
was there for a little bit.
It was a big, big song.
So I'm sure that Bob was realhappy with that.
He was real happy with themailbox money.
On that one I would be too.
(34:57):
But I really do like the KennyRogers Sheena Easton version.
It took me a little bit to getused to it because I was so used
to at the time Bob's version,the original version of the song
.
But it did take me a little bit, especially it being a duet.
(35:18):
But I do.
I love that version.
However, there's something to besaid about the original and
there's just like a lot of Bobbrings a lot of passion to it
and a lot of feeling and a lotof heart and it's really really
good.
It is so good.
So we've got tonight that one'sat number 12.
(35:40):
We go to a number, we go tonumber 11.
And again from the albumStranger in Town, the song Feel
Like a Number in town.
The song Feel Like a Number,really really good song.
(36:01):
Well, it better be good,because I have it at number 11,
you know.
So it better be good.
You know, feel Like a Number,Feel Like a Stranger Stranger in
this Town, it's such a goodsong, just good groove, you know
, you can really dance to it.
Speaking of which, we're goingto crack the top 10 now.
(36:32):
And at number 10, again from thealbum Stranger in Town, is you
guys all know this one.
Just picture tom cruise slidingacross the wood floor in an
oxford shirt and his underwear,oh, and his socks too.
Okay, old time rock and roll.
What a just a cool song.
(36:53):
Just take those old records offthe shelf, right?
I said I listened to them bymyself.
Yeah, so I know that's.
It's like that song is, so it's.
You can't think of anything elsebut Tom Cruise in Risky
Business when you hear that song.
You just can't think ofanything else but Tom Cruise in
(37:14):
Risky Business.
When you hear that song, youjust can't.
They just like go hand in hand.
Really really good song, though, Groovy song, nice funky dance
song.
I mean, I shouldn't say dancesong, but you can really, you
know, bop your head and stompyour feet to it.
Okay, so number nine Again.
(37:37):
I had no idea when I was doingthis, but the fourth song in a
row from Stranger in Town isStill the Same.
What a really cool song.
Just kind of mellow song, Imean, it's not really mellow,
but it but it is.
(37:57):
Uh, it is a little bit lighter,but it's just a really cool
song, and I can say that aboutjust about every single song on
this list.
It's just a really really coolsong.
What else are you gonna do?
You know, uh, to me, bob segerand the silver Silver Bullet
Band, it's like Americana, youknow.
So it's just, it's good stuff.
(38:19):
And you know, I guess back thenit would kind of, especially
after he cut his hair,especially after he cut his hair
, because in the seventies hehad really long hair.
But after Bob cut his hair,even with the beard he had
really long hair.
But after Bob cut his hair,even with the beard, he starts,
starts getting a little salt andpeppery and it's like.
(38:43):
It's like your dad singing.
You know, your dad's up theresinging.
That's kind of what it's like,you know.
So, just just so good, so good.
Um, all right.
So we're up to number eight, andI think I talked about this
album before.
I think this was released in1980, I think it was 80, I think
(39:07):
it was.
It could have been 81.
I don't know.
Somewhere around there thealbum is Against the Wind and at
number eight, the title trackAgainst the Wind.
Who doesn't know that one?
Just so good, so good.
Yeah, just really, really good.
You know, I just stop and Idon't want to say my eyes roll
(39:31):
back in my head, but I stop andI just kind of look up a little
bit and I just start running thesong through my head Just so
good.
I'm probably going to and Ipromise you I probably could
take this list, my top 20, andmake a playlist out of it.
I probably will.
I have a couple of honorablementions too.
(39:52):
That didn't make it, but Idon't have to find them.
Oh, one, definitely one is from1969.
It's Rambling, gambling man,just a funky song, good song,
kind of.
I don't want to say I don'twant to say bluesy, I don't know
(40:14):
.
It's just hard to describe.
I shouldn't say it's hard todescribe.
It's just that good old, youknow working man's rock and roll
and rambling gambling man.
Yeah, so that was kind of anhonorable mention because it did
not make the list.
I'm just letting you know thatright now.
Um, what else?
Oh, number seven.
(40:34):
Number seven we go back to thenight Moves album and Main
Street.
What a cool.
I love the lead guitar in thatsong.
It's always like from the firsttime I heard that song when I
(40:56):
was a kid, you know, just reallygot me that lead guitar in
there.
It's such a such a tasty soundand it's really really cool.
Love it, love it, Love it, loveit.
So Main Street at number seven.
Number six.
Number six comes from theDistance album, again 1982.
(41:21):
And this one is the secondsingle released off of that
album and it's Even Now and it'sa more up-tempo song.
Really cool.
You guys got to check thisstuff out.
I wish I could play music onhere, and you know what's funny
about playing music on thispodcast is I actually got away
(41:44):
with it and didn't.
I was crossing my fingers as itwas happening too, and I know
I'm getting way off track here,but a couple episodes back,
you'll all remember that I hadAir Force Amy on here and we
talked a little bit about musicand she busted open her phone
and she was telling me whatshe's currently listening to and
(42:04):
on her playlist she had somedoggone it.
What do you call it?
Oh, geez, now I got a braincramp Trying to remember the
guy's name.
Shoot, I don't know, it'll comeback to me.
(42:26):
Anyway, she played the song andI was thinking the whole time,
oh, it's going to get muted,it's going to get muted.
And when I played it back, no,the whole thing played.
It was great the little bit.
I mean, she played like 30seconds of it.
Shoot, why can't?
Why?
Great, great, great, great,great singer, great singer,
(42:49):
great singer from the 70s and80s, and did a song with Grover
Washington Jr too.
No, I can't.
I just I don't know, I'm braincramping on it.
It'll come back to me, it will.
Anyway.
So, even now, that's at numbersix, from the distance, and
again, like I said, I wish Icould play music, but it'll get
(43:11):
muted One of these days.
One of these days, at numberfive, we cracked the top five.
That's awesome, right.
We go back to the album Strangerin Town and everybody knows
this one Hollywood Nights, greatup-tempo song about you know
(43:41):
people, kind of you know a girlcoming to Hollywood to fulfill
her dream.
Well, kind of not so much,because if you listen to the
lyrics she's she's ends up doingsome things she probably
shouldn't be doing.
Doing some things she probablyshouldn't be doing, whether it
was in the backseat of a car orwhatever you know.
(44:03):
But yeah, it's a good songthough.
What a good song.
A good groove, a great uptempoand just a great beat.
Good, good, good, good, goodstuff.
It's might've been, might'vebeen.
My first exposure to uh, bobSeger and the silver bullet band
was a Hollywood nights Umnumber four.
(44:26):
We go back to the night movesalbum and the title track night
moves, come on it's.
I mean that's like that.
Come on it's.
I mean that's like that.
If you're you know, if you're ayoung man, teenage or even
(44:48):
slightly older, in your earlytwenties or something, listening
to that song, I mean you'rejust getting.
I mean sorry, but you'regetting kind of ramped up, just
talking about a guy and a girland just the things that they
would do to sneak off and get alittle hibbity, dibbity.
I used her, she used me, butneither one care we were getting
(45:12):
our share.
What does it say?
How's that go?
Let me see, you know what doesit say?
How's that go?
Let me see.
Crap, what was it?
Something about?
Backrooms, alleys, trusty woods, you know that kind of stuff.
It just, you know, when you're,like I said, you're talking,
(45:33):
you know talking he's talkingabout when he was, you know, a
teenager.
So just, uh, silly stuff, butbut it just it kind of like
takes you back to that time.
Uh, at least it does for me,and and for me, that's what
music does Uh just with about,uh, just with, just about.
(45:55):
Every song that I hear it'lltake me back to a place in time
and I just have these little,you know, memories of, like
every song, doesn't matter whothe artist is, it's crazy, it's
crazy.
(46:16):
So Night Moves is at number four.
What a good song.
Now, this one, you guys aren'tgoing to believe.
This is crazy.
You guys aren't even going tobelieve this one.
All right, number three, and Iimplore you, if you've been
around, if you've been aroundwith me for any stretch of time,
(46:37):
at least during the holidays,you guys know that I always put
together my top 10 Christmassongs.
Okay, and this particular songis on the list and it's got to
be on the top 20 here.
Is that good?
And at number three, it littledrummer boy.
(47:02):
It is that good to where it isthat high on my list and it's
from a compilation album with abunch of other artists.
It's, I think it's called avery special christmas, so check
it out.
Just in your, in your searchfor, for music or whatever.
Just look, just search forlittle drummer boy, bob Seger,
(47:23):
and that's it.
And you know, take you right toit.
It is so good.
The, the, just the passion, thepassion and the emotion that
Bob puts forth in this song ashe's singing it, I mean just
gets me every time, every singletime, Ooh, that takes us up to
(47:48):
number two, Number two.
This one is off of the albumAgainst the Wind, the album
Against the Wind, and if itwasn't for the number one song,
(48:10):
this one would be number one.
And it's Fire Lake.
What an awesome song.
And I just you know I love howBob crafts lyrics.
It's just you know, if you guysknow me at all and you hear me
talk about music from time totime, you know I'm a lyric guy,
I love lyrics and Bob just has agreat way of crafting lyrics,
(48:32):
and Fire Lake is no different.
It's so good and it's gotbacking vocals by, I think, don
Henley, timothy B Schmidt andGlenn Fry from the Eagles, and
you can really, you really canhear them during the chorus.
(48:53):
You can hear them reallysinging it out and it's so good.
So, so, so good.
You know, takes us to numberone.
Right Brings us to number one.
Number one, one, one, one,whatever.
This is from the album, the1982 album, the Distance, and
(49:21):
when I started to put this listtogether, this one already, it
just took the number one spot.
That was it.
So I just had to go from 20 totwo.
That was it, because this onewas already number one.
No question at all.
Absolutely killer song.
(49:42):
Love this song to pieces.
It is so, so good.
It's a cover song too, which isinteresting.
The original version of thissong was done by a country
artist named Rodney Crowell andhe released it, I think the year
(50:03):
before.
Didn't do anything.
Bob takes a hold of this andthis song went to number two on
the Hot 100.
I'm trying to think Was thereone song or two songs that kept
it out of the number one spot?
I know Billie Jean was one ofthem.
(50:25):
I don't remember if there wasanother song that kept it out of
the number one spot, but BillieJean definitely did.
The song is Shame, wow, it isso, so good.
And again, bob gets a littlebit of help on background vocals
from his buddies in the eagles,glenn fry, and I think I don't
(50:50):
remember if don henley was on it, but timothy b schmidt was, um,
but really, really good, reallygood.
I'm telling you people, you gotto make a playlist, you got to
do it.
Now, another honorable mention,one that didn't make it, was
Betty Lou's Going Out Tonight.
That's just a little, you know.
(51:10):
You know a little rock androller, a little boogie song, so
good.
And the Horizontal Bop.
The Horizontal Bop's just a funsong and you know, I like it
and it's a good song, I like itand, like I said, it's fun.
But yeah, I just couldn't putit in the top 20.
(51:35):
I just couldn't do it.
So I'm going to run them downreally quick and let you guys
get out of here and enjoy yourweekends.
