been giving this one a bash lately as well.this should be a doddle ? in either order but i will go for.....

1.hand of fate
2.memory motel

Every track is good on black and blue,why just two?

dont be silly.................

I absolutely love this album. One of their best. The songs may not be as fully fleshed out as on others but the feel and playing are at a peak level. I'd probably go with Fool To Cry and Memory Motel but Hot Stuff and Hey Negrita are also wonderful. The only clunker is Cherry Oh Baby. Substitute Worried About You for that and it's an amazing album.

Its his thread and he can title it as he wishes!! "Best eight" is hardly going to make sense!

Memory Motel is the best thing on that album by a mile

Probably Crazy Mama or Hand of Fate second, although I've grown to appreciate Hot Stuff more of late.

The rest of it varies from OK to weak (I've never cared for Melody at all)

I didn't love this album when it 1st came out...but today i love it..
m.m.. and hand of fate and the very best of the best...the only song that i still don't care for is negrita...i even have started to like cherry oh...
the only problem i still have with this album, is 1. its too short of tracks and 2. its like a workout album for the stones additions for a new guitar player..

1. Melody
2. Hot Stuff

C

Memory Motel. Hand of Fate, with a distant 3rd being Crazy Mama. It had potential, but didn't really take off...

For me, Hand of Fate and Hey Negrita.

It's funny, for me Hot Stuff is the weakest track on the album, by a mile. I always find amazing they even had the guts to put it into the 76 setlists!! Luckily they have forgotten it.

Edit: I like Indian Girl, so...

ALL OF IT

The entire album is outstanding.

Memory
Hot Stuff

Hand Of Fate
Crazy Mama

Hand of Fate and then Fool to Cry and memory motel roxxxx too.

So 3 of think the cd is good ypu might need some hearing to know how good
the cd is its got the FUNK,ROCK,BLUES,REGGAGE AND 2 HEARTBREAKING SONGS,now
fans are complaing its too short,when get ABB its too long so the STONES cannot please the fans so stones have to please themselves and hope for the best.
STONES ARE WAY OF LIFE,SO THEY KEEP ON ROCKIN.KISH.

Melody, hand of fate!

Hey Negrita
Crazy Mama

M M & Oh Cherry Oh Baby

Melody and memory are good enough. The album I feel just needed something of a start me up or a jack flash to really get he album up there with the best. Its a pity, but melody sounds different and stands out with motel but I prefer the live version off bridges tour with I think Taj Majal.

"stonecowboy"

1.hey negrita,hand of fate,hot stuff,melody
2.fool to cry,cherry on baby,memory hotel,crazy mama

Hot Stuff and Fool To Cry

This is a filler album, any way you cut it...

The best THREE songs, and the only really good ones: Hot Stuff, Memory Motel, and Hand of Fate...

"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."

I disagree I think this album is much better then GHS or IORR, It was not perfect, Cheery Oh baby, Fool to cry were kind of weak but I think the rest were great!

MM by Jupiter miles.
Hand of Fate & Crazy Mama a common 2nd place.

Hand of fate & Memoery Motel MEZ

all songs exept cherry oh baby is great on this one.

Black and Blue best heard like the old vinyl format....Side one Loud then "flip" to second side and crank again...Two funky trips on one album....For full whack listen in the summer months with the sun bleatin' on ya and a glass of booze in hand....
