ROCKMAN

The Days of Our Lives/Beverly Hills 9*** whatever tie-in...?

10. Worst album — The album “Dirty Work,” released in 1986 is often viewed as the band’s worst recording, producing no favorable hits. As for the band’s worst song, try the title track from the album “Emotional Rescue” released in 1980. Mick Jagger tries to sound like the Bee Gees.

9. Filthy words — In February 2006 the band performed at the Super Bowl and Mr. Jagger was asked to omit some words with sexual connotations from two songs. As expected, he did not and his microphone was temporarily dipped.

8. “The Ed Sullivan Show” — In a performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1967, Sullivan requested Mr. Jagger to change the line in the song “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” to “Let’s spend some time together.” After cursing out talent coordinator Vince Calandra before going on the stage, Mr. Jagger does what he is told but sarcastically exaggerates the altered lyrics and rolls his eyes.

7. The “Undercover” album art cover — The 1983 album “Undercover” had one of the absolutely worst art covers: a naked lady with her private parts covered by decals which could be peeled off.

6. X-rated documentary — On their 1972 tour of the U.S., the Rolling Stones let Robert Frank film a behind-the-scenes documentary. When the band saw the finished project, it was so provocative, raunchy and raw they sued to prevent it being shown. Mr. Frank won a court ruling which allows him to screen it four times a year. According to Rolling Stone magazine, in one scene a roadie “has sex with a reluctant-looking groupie on a plane while the band bangs on percussion instruments.” “I hope you are all ready for misogyny, boredom and ecstasy — stupor and exhaustion,” warned Jeff Rosenheim, when it was screened at Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2009.

5. Drug bust —Mr. Jagger was arrested in 1967 with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards for possession of an illegal drug and was initially sentenced to a year in prison. Both convictions were overturned following an appeal. In 1977, Mr. Richards was arrested in Toronto on charges of cocaine and heroin possession but escaped punishment. Years later, Rolling Stone guitarist Ron Wood estimated he spent more than $25 million on drugs and alcohol.

4. Misogynist billboard — The Rolling Stones promoted their album “Black and Blue” with a billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood that featured model Anita Russell bruised and bound by Mr. Jagger under the phrase, “I’m Black and Blue from the Rolling Stones — and I love it!” The billboard was removed after protests by the group Women Against Violence Against Women, although it garnered the band widespread media coverage.

3. Kids as drug mules — When the band was recording “Exile on Main St.” in France in the early 1970s, socialite Tommy Weber flew in for Mr. Jagger’s wedding with a kilo of cocaine. According to Robert Greenfield in his recent “Exile on Main St.: A Season in Hell With the Rolling Stones,” Weber got the drugs past customs by using money belts strapped underneath the clothes of his two small sons, who were to be pageboys at Mr. Jagger’s wedding.

2. The death at Altamont — During a performance of “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones at the Altamont Speedway Free Festival, a fight erupted in front of the stage. The Stones continued to perform through the melee. Then, during the song “Under My Thumb,” 18-year-old Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by a member of the Hell’s Angels, who were hired as security and paid with free beer. The stabbing was recorded in the film “Gimme Shelter.”

1. The death of Brian Jones — Hard-living Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones was found dead in his swimming pool in July 1969. The talented instrumentalist and original leader of the Stones died at his mansion in rural Sussex, months after leaving the band. The death was ruled “death by misadventure.” It was generally assumed, the 27-year-old’s death was due to a drug overdose. Conspiracy theories abound, as some believe Jones was murdered. Mr. Jagger and Mr. Richards did not attend the funeral. In 2010, police said they would not reopen the case despite new evidence.

OK - while these were not shining moments for the boys, the fact that the band has 10 worst moments is telling. Frankly, most of the 10 don't gel as the worst of the worst. Ha - I'm sure most of us here could come up with a far more debasing list. However, I've been sworn to secrecy by the Stones secret service so I can't divulge - you all know how that goes. It isn't pretty, but we do what we can to stay in the witness protection plan.

That's a Bullshit list. When I read that Emotional Rescue was the 'worst' - I had an idea how the rest of the list would go....

2012 and adults are still worried about naughty words. (sigh)

This lame-o has obviously never jammed out to the awesomeness that is One Hit to the Body - his loss.

I can see all of them to some extent, except for the beef with the Undercover album artwork. It's not an iconic album cover, it's not even one of the more iconic Stones album covers, but I see no reason to rag on it. Especially when you have the Dirty Work cover to talk about. But since they've already ragged on Dirty Work for the music itself, I guess it would have been repetitive to also rag on it for the cover. Though I guess they could have included it with the general complaining about the album, but then they would have needed to come up with another "Worst Moment".

Seriously. Is this....



really worse than this......



????????????????????

Nothing in this world is worse than the Dirty Work cover.

Nothing.

Yeah, anytime there is one of those lists of Worst Album Covers put out, Dirty Work usually makes it on there. It's up there with Ken By Request Only. While I've never heard any praise for the Undercover album cover, I've never really heard it getting bashed either.

I think the author took issue with Undercover because he/she felt the naked woman under the decals was tacky. But I think the naked cartoon woman getting her rocks off on the giant tongue on the cover of Live Licks is more tacky than Undercover.

Why leave off the variety of duets that Mick has sung in concert with various acts like Justin Timberlake, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, Christina Aguilera or Axl Rose? Truly desperate and cringe worthy....

Amy Winehouse on stage with The Stones.

78 through Dirty Work.

SW and BtoB are both infinitely worse covers than DW

what about Jagger wearing the Madonna microphone !!! disgusting.

Justin Timberlake on stage as well.

And when Keith decided to defend him, he truly turned into a big sissy at that point in Stones history.
In the blink of an eye, Keith turned from the bad boy of rock and roll into a wimp...definitely one of the worst moments imo.

Hahaha...I don't think so Rockman, but perhaps you would.

Reminds me of seeing Prince open for the Stones in L.A. in '81 getting tons of shit thrown at him.
While he wasn't on stage with the Stones, maybe Keith should have stepped out to defend him also?
Instead, Keith criticized him after the fact, and basically said he reaped what he sowed.

Harlem Shuffle made it to number 5 on the US charts, Undercover of the Night only to number 9. Although I think both are wonderful studio recordings, I'll bet people in general are more familiar with Harlem Shuffle than Undercover of the Night. Thus my contention that Undercover is the lesser album. One Hit to the Body was at least a minor hit while the Undercover album had nothing else going for it single wise. (She Was Hot was not a hit).

Probably the real Worst moment of the last 10 years...



just my 2cts

I guess it goes to show that everybody has different taste. I don't love those covers, but I think they're OK. Steel Wheels is kind of simple, and while B2B sticks out like a sore thumb I think it's alright. The version with the silver cover (which I think all versions are now) are much better than the one with the desert in the background that the Regular Edition came with.

Frankfurt 2007 was my worst Stones-moment

oh.....and 1998 when I went to a concert on the wrong night.
