Nos anos 70 chegou a participar da Liga de Baseball como jogador, mas abandonou o esporte para se dedicar à música. Em 1974, era formado o George Thorogood & The Destroyers; seu primeiro álbum foi lançado no mesmo ano com o nome de Better Than The Rest, contando com Ron Smith na guitarra, Hank Carter no saxofone, Jeff Simon na bateria e Bill Blough no baixo. Influenciados por Chuck Berry, Elmore James e Hound Dog Taylor, Thorogood nunca foi muito respeitado pelos “puristas” mas, nos anos 80, fez grande sucesso nas rádios e no circuito de shows de rock dos EUA. Seus discos desse período sempre atingiram ótimas vendagens.Na década de 90 suas vendagens apresentaram declínio, mas George continuou gravando e excursionando regularmente, sempre em seu estilo próprio de mesclar o rock e o blues em músicas vibrantes. Apesar das várias mudanças dos guitarristas-base, a espinha dorsal de sua banda nesses mais de 30 anos de carreira sempre foi formada por Jeff Simon (bateria), Billy Blough (baixo)e Hank Carter (saxofone).
