I knew someone years ago that claimed to have that Goat's head, he said it wasn't real but was huge, with the horns nearly 3 feet high and would take a small van to move it....he wanted £3500 or it.........

Hey, thanks Leonioid. But, I'm nothing special as far as Mom's go...they are all still alive and not in jail, so I guess that counts for something. I did take them all to see the Stones, so extra points there, yes?

be authenticated it might be worth a lot more than £3500 these days...
worth maybe, heck I dont know... maybe 20 grand to the right buyer.

Dancing With Mr. D vs. If You Can't Rock Me: Only because of Taylors playing on IYCRM
100 Years Ago vs Ain't Too Proud To Beg: By a long shot.
Coming Down Again vs IORR: Tough call, I've liked IORR forever and have recently come to appreciate CDA, but I'll go IORR since it's basically the only decent tune on that record.
Heartbreaker vs Till The Next Time: No comparison really
Angie vs Time Waits For No One: Again easy choice
Silver Train vs Luxury - If Luxury was better produced, better written and better performed it might have stood a chance...
Hide Your Love vs Dance Little Sister: Great piano wins every time.
Winter vs If You Really Want To Be My Friend: If anyone picks IYRWTBMF I will be shocked.
Can You Hear The Music vs Short and Curlies: Stones using effects to great effect?...sign me up
Star Star vs FingerPrint File: A tune they can't ruin by playing it too fast live gets my vote
So it's 8 to 2 in favor of GHS for me and the 2 really could have gone either way.
peace

And what do your personal ratings prove?
they totally prove I have an opinion.
But we know that already...
Did you though, really?

At some point "Black and Blue" needs to be discussed,
it does not receive near enough attention and shirley feels left out.
Black and Blue has a problem in that it only has 8 tracks.
Maybe we could have it compete against one of the two double albums within Voodoo Lounge, Bridges or ABB?
Bridges and Bigger Bang are both awesome
Dang right they are...
and do not allow anyone to ever claim or convince you other wise.**
**Which basically means-
ignore people who are stuck, there is no fixing them, and no hope
of ever explaining to them why these are damn fine Stones albums too.
Once some people explained me why I should "Open my heart and let Jesus come in..."
and I guess that is the same thing here
...
let's be honest my life is better without Jesus and A Bigger Bang
Perhaps both could have been improved by some editing. For ABB, fewer tracks.
For Jesus, fewer disciples.
I'm open to other ideas.

* Dancing With Mr. D (if only because the 73 tour has proved it's a great song)
* Coming Down Again (great song, great feel; IORR is the end of the Taylor era and such a weak try)
* Time Waits For No One of course. Angie is sweet but too sentimental and superficial. Musically Time has so much more to offer.
* Hide Your Love vs. Dance Little Sister: a complete tie.
* Short and Curlies because it swings out of the pan (Dutch saying), CYHTM is a bit farfetched.
* Fingerprint File, because it has something to say and it convinces, while Star Star is the worst one on GHS and the worst song from the 1973 tour setlist (bad lyrics as well).
So my result is: 6 - 3 and one tie.

Well were not that far off because I could probably swing my votes on on DWMD and CDA....
But I have always loved Angie, it seems pretty heartfelt to me compared to TWFNO which seems corny and contrived both musically and lyrically. Angie has that great acoustic guitar and piano that's hard to dismiss. Of course I was probably 6 yrs old when I fell for it so what did I know about superficiality? Listening to it today the strings are a bit corny, but it cut me deep as a kid.
I'm also not a huge fan of Star Star but FF is just not a great tune imo, they just didn't get deep enough into the groove. It would have been great with Lowell George playing slide on it, though! It's about as close as the Little Feat groove they ever got, reminds me of this one a bit and I wish they had given it a similar treatment.
