Of course opinions can be wrong.
That aside, lem motlow missed the entire point. And then gets angry! Beyond silly. And, ha ha, pointless.

Thank you, lem motlow! Likewise!
In relation to my initial post: were any of the Goats Head Soup tracks written in the 60’s? I suppose my assumption that they weren’t is another reason for feeling that this 1973 release represents their first ‘fully 70’s’ artistic statement.
In this regard, no an opinion of what an album means to somebody personally cannot be wrong.
I agree.
However, the opinion can still be wrong. It's subjective, of course, but facts must come into play regarding opinion.
Obviously with a band, a song, an album, a song, a single, it's 100% subjective.
However, I extremely doubt someone will be blasting the whatever remix of You Got Me Rocking or Rock In A Hard Place and you'll think it's good.
Talk about your favorite band.

I wish they had put the original version of Waiting on a Friend on the remaster.
What a great album. Even the outtakes they gave us are excellent tracks.

I’ve said it before in previous, related threads: Goats Head Soup was the Stones’ first, true, album of the 1970’s. Both Sticky Fingers and - though be it, to a lesser extent - Exile on Main Street, are still rooted in the late-60’s. For better or worse, Goats Head Soup was fresh and modern for it’s time. I’m my opinion, it’s weaker than the two LP’s that preceded it, yet it’s their first truly contemporary 70’s release. Angie isn’t the ‘Brian-era’ in any way. Here’s Mick vying for credibility and relevance amongst your Elton’s and Marc Bolan’s or the 1970’s music sphere.
Great insight- but totally wrong.
Sticky and Exile were VERY 1970s, the hope, peace and love, the acid dream was over.
This was the 1970s-music based in reality,ups and downs,friends passing away,loneliness of being away from home,heroin and cocaine and the blues.there was no 60s shit in that music.
Mick “ vying for credibility” is laughable.The Stones existed in the stratosphere in 73. A place only the Beatles had been and Zep were just getting a glimpse of.
Guys like Elton and T. Rex were just starting their careers, they were children compared to the Stones.
It’s funny how wrong you got it- Angie is Absolutely “Brian era” - a beautiful ballad in the realm of As tears go by ,Blue Turns to Grey or Lady Jane.
Ha! Well, we're all entitled to our differing opinions, I suppose. I still stand by my points. Yours are valid, too, of course.
Yeah, I'm not sure opinions be "wrong" haha
For me, Sticky Fingers is very polished and concise, Exile is rockin' lofi (almost a throwback to 50's music) and sprawling, while Goats is dim and druggy—a cloudy comedown. The song that perfectly encapsulates this is "Coming Down Again".
Of course opinions can be wrong.

It has the misfortune of following the "big four" and it's not quite on that level but I think it's still a great record. I seem to like it better with each passing year. The mood seems to capture the band at the time coming down from a run of rock n roll excellence that has never been topped before or since. Winter is a sublime song and I'd love to hear Keith try Coming Down Again live. Great record,
