Vilhelm, don't want to pester you - but, ahm...did you get more out of Ove?

No, I have not spoken to him yet, I got hold of another guy at the listening party yesterday who provided the info. Remember, they signed some sort of secrecycontract, and Ove will not be able to say anything more than what´s already said. And I will respect that. All will be revealed in time, I am sure. I am just as curious as everybody else.

The 'classic' problem crops up with any great artist around long enough to produce a lot of work. Scott Fitzgerald's classic is 'Gatsby,' but people who really dig him want to read all his novels/stories, same w/ Faulkner whose 'classics' are all from the '30s (but who published up to the early '60s) - the non 'classics' may not be on any college lit syllabus but offer much quality writing, pleasure, insight, etc - Do Ellington fans stop listening after the Blanton/Webster era? if BB thru EOMS are conventionally considered the classic 'albums' I cant see how FANS (as opposed to casual listeners putting together a basic cd library) would restrict themselves to such a narrow range.

totally agree with you, John R. The Ellington reference is apt - I was thinking about him during some of this discussion. Personally, I don't restrict from listening to it all - but, I do believe there's a pretty distinct difference in quality of songs in both the Ellington and Stones cases. And, I believe the vast majority of discriminating fans would agree.

One political song aimed at the Bushadministration? I really hope not. Please Mick and Keith, I beg you: don't do a Springsteen and mix music with US politics.

Bullshit bullshit bullshit. Voodoo Lounge is classic, so is Emotional Rescue. I'm not going to hype up the album in my mind, but I have an excellent vibe about the new material. Never say a band's creativity has expired. ONNYA is gonna sound amazing on the album and no doubt the other rockers on there will be kickass. Bridges was a good album, just a different style than usual. This album is back to basics and as such could be the best album they've ever put out. They're launching a massive tour and about to release a brand new album... I'm willing to throw a few coins down on the table and say that they've got confidence in this material...

how many such songs can you name?

I am with you Drake, I think Voodoo is a classic. Some Stones albums age well over time and this is one that I like more know then when it first came out. Despite some negative comments I have read from people about this new album (which is crazy to judge it before even hearing it) I am looking forward to some new Mick and Keith songs. And I am interested to hear Mick playing the drums and bass.

uh...yeah...sure....

Re : new album - Give them a chance !

I think Voodoo was a great album.Not a classic but it delivered.

Listen to the out takes from those sessions - there were a lot of great ideas going on.

True statement. At the time of release, I thought VL was about as good an album as the Stones had in them at the time. After hearing the Brew, Stew & Residue's from those sessions, turns out I was very wrong. Coulda been much better if they hadn't gone the "safe" route.

"The Stones will never release a classic again" ...

so what?

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."
