Some Girls has rock, pop, blues, country, soul, disco/funk rock and new three songs with a punk-attitude. Their most versatile album since Exile.
Saying that only BOB is of GHS quality is just silly. I'd rather listen to the rockers on SG than those on GHS, which are mediocre at best. Star Star worked good live, though. Angie is the only song that would be good enough to be included on SG, imo. Maybe CDA as well.
Maybe it has and maybe it's versatile (though it does sound very 'the same' to me, because most of the stuff, whatever the style, is superficial fun stuff, the music as well as the lyrics), but it's music of a lower quality.
GHS is not about rockers, but about mood. You obviously didn't 'get' it.
I get the mood of GHS, totally, that's why I don't say it's a crap album. And it has some really great songs.
However, stuff like Hide Your Love, Winter, Star Star, Dancing With Mr. D and Silver Train just don't do it for me. I have heard better "versions" before, especially of the three rockers.
In the meantime, enjoy the profoundness and depth of the lyrics on DWMD, HYL, SS and the other poetic masterpieces on GHS
Well then you don't have an antenna for nostalgia and melancholy. Those atmospheres do define the album, which is unique for a Stones album.
HYL has the typical blues lyrics that go very well with the music. Mr D isn't a rocker, much too slow. I agree SS is the weakest song on the album. But if you can't appreciate Winter, well then we're on a totally different level of appreciating music. Nothing new though.
Now you're on thin ice, kleerie. You really don't know what I'm saying
Most of the archetypical Stones rockers are mid-tempo like DWMD, btw.
Dancing on thin ice, you mean.
Mr. D doesn't sound like a rocker to me, rather a pop song. Compare it to for instance SFM or JJF. Mr D is real slow man!

Does DWMD on Brussels 1 sound like a pop song?

No it doesn't, but also not like a rocker. Like a dangerous song I would say.

"Rocker" is sometimes used as almost as vague a term as ballad is. And is a "rocker" the same thing as a "rock song"? For that matter, in my view a pop song is not necessarily a commercialized pop song.
I might suggest that the interesting distinction is something else than the question whether "Dancing with Mr. D" is a rock song or a pop song. Then I would venture to say that it is either a gothic rock song or a gothic pop song. However, "Dancing with Mr. D" is rather a feigned gothic song than a sincerely meant gothic song. Were "Dancing with Mr. D" to be the latter, it would somehow have been a gothic counterpoint to, dare I say, "Gimme Shelter". But that it isn't. It's instead perhaps an expression of the lethargic state of mind which might be said, more or less, to characterize GOATS HEAD SOUP. However, it has a certain gothic flavour and on its surface at least is a gothic song, but as asserted somewhat feigned in the studio version. Less feigned in some live versions, though. Probably, I would call it a gothic rock song rather than a gothic pop song. But not a "rocker". And I think that it is one of its kind.

All down the line and Jivin Sister Fanny originate in 1969.
There is an easy way to dilineate the two. Per Sticky Fingers material that was in fairly finished form, will have an "ABKO" copyright...... due to the relationship with Allen Klein.....post 70' then goes to RSR.
Not perfect......but a quick, accurate way to check.

The lines between the genres aren't always that sharp. To my feel MrD isn't a rocker, even if a rocker is indeed not per se a fast song. It's also not a standard pop song, even though I agree that pop music isn't commercial/hit material per se. Gimme Shelter isn't a rocker either in my view. That it has in common with Mr D, even if they are not of the same kind. Some songs are simply hors catégorie.

Rock music played and recorded by a rock band.

Dancing With Mr. D is dark, but bluesy musically. Goth is all doom and gloom, especially within the music.

The indie goth you seem to have in mind is separate and different to gothic rock ala Fever Tree up above, King Crimson - Epitaph, In the Court, etc.

I know. Still, the term was more in use when the second wave of goth rock came around.
We also already had terms like symfo-rock, prog-rock or fusion to put the songs you mentioned in. I don't think they often are put in that bag, although it certainly would be correct - or am I wrong?
