Imagine Mick and Keith doing the same, that would be something!

"Anything Goes" by Florida Georgia Line is being heralded as THE WORST ALBUM EVER as well as THE WORST COUNTRY MUSIC ALBUM EVER.
Pretty funny.

Well, that was easy. Here you go:
Congratulations Justin Moore and Outlaws Like Me, you’re officially off the hot seat. Because right here, right now, I am unilaterally declaring that Florida Georgia Line’s new album Anything Goes is the worst album ever released in the history of country music. Ever. Including Florida Georgia Line’s first album Here’s To The Good Times, including anything else you can muster from the mainstream, including a 4-track recording made by a head trauma victim in a walk-in closet with a Casiotone keyboard and an out-of-tune banjo. Anything Goes can slay all comers when it comes to its heretofore unattainable degree of peerless suckitude.
In a word, this album is bullshit. Never before has such a refined collection of strident clichés been concentrated in one insidious mass. Never before have the lyrics to an album evidenced such narrowcasted pseudo-mindless incoherent drivel. Never before have such disparate and diseased influences been married so haphazardly in a profound vacuum of taste, and never have all of these atrocities been platooned together to be proffered to the public without someone, anyone with any bit of conscience and in a position of power putting a stop to this poisoning of the listening public.

Not sure if I can thank you for that or not GLS. For the laugh, I'll say thanks. One time I'm thankful that my headset here at the office only has one ear piece... At least my right ear was safe!
Peace,

It could easily be argued that the Stones and U2 are the two top competitors in the rock and popular music industry, based on record sales, attendance at live concerts, revenue from concerts, and popularity polls.
U2 recently released a number of new songs on this CD, to critical acclaim. Yet the Stones are unable, unwilling, or unable to create and release a CD of all new material. All I have heard is a rumor that the Stones might be releasing a few never released songs, from the seventies, along with remastered songs from Sticky Fingers.
Are the Stones afraid they might not be able to create a CD most fans would like. Are they afraid to take a chance on something new. Have they lost the creative spirit. Is there a deeper, more fundamental problem I have not thought about?

Unlike some here, I'm not countin' the Stones out when it comes to releasing new material. But it seems like both Keith and Mick might feel that the Stones is not the best vehicle to give wheels to their new songs. Keith and Micks writing may have diverged to the point that they find it hard to compliment each other's new stuff. Mick want's SuperHeavy, Keith want's his hand picked solo bands.

Seeing that A BIGGER BANG was released in September of 2005... doesn't it seem obvious that they're done recording and releasing new studio LPs? I don't mind what they do on their own, regardless of how good (Keith) or bad (Mick) it is, the Stones are done as any kind of a creative "band". It's all about the past now, as it has been since FORTY LICKS came out really.

That really annoys me.
What has Keith done on his own lately? At least Mick does something (and I don't think it's bad at all).

SuperShitty didn't annoy you? That was horrible. Jagger ran away from that as fast as possible.
What has Keith done lately. Supposedly a new LP. He did a new version of Words Of Wonder for Playing For Change that's killer and better than anything Mick's done in a while.

A new LP we haven't heard a single note off and it's already good?
Playing for Change... I thought it was pretty dull, but ok that might just be me.
So that's two songs in about a quarter of a century. And not even new songs. Just a quick take one late afternoon.
The SuperHeavy album wasn't a classic. But Mick does something in his spare time. I appreciate that. And I still play the album in the summer. It's a fun album.
And he does more... He produces films, tv series, prepares the entire stones thing.
So the thing that annoys me is that Keith (the rockgod) still gets more respect than Mick (the poser) by doing absolutely nothing.
EDIT: what says it all is that the best thing Keith could come up with for The Stones - after 10 years - was an 1988 outtake... That Mick had to finish! Mick came with a fresh and exciting song that was played heavily on the radio.
But hey, this thread is about U2.
