This album, though Goat's Head Soup song by song is probably better,
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll's first 3 songs seem to go together and the first two sort of build up to the album's title song. So, IORR has an ambience to it, I've always thought that, a sort of ambience, environment that is kind of cool.
1. If you can't rock me
2. Ain't too proud to beg
3. It's only rock 'n' roll
So this adds up to about 12 minutes of a mini-show.
Also, how interesting that Blue Magic do perform on "If you really want to be my friend", that is one of the most successful "soul" songs by the Rolling Stones, I think I'd go with that over winter.
Of course, Blue Magic was just posted over in one of the youtube threads for one of their hits: [

And Hide your love is a bit bluesy too off of Goat's Head Soup, I might go with that over Dance Little Sister which is acclaimed as a hit.
So, I score these albums if this was a "group stage" game in the World Cup as largely a draw though I guess I do like IORR slightly more.
