Lol who ever said that Emotional Rescue was an excellent album?
Abbey Road...I Want You (She’s so Heavy), dark, plodding and repetitive equals boring
Sgt Peppers...Within and Without You, dumb title, dumber song...and by dumb I mean it doesn’t speak to me, never has.
Tattoo You...Hang Fire, just by this track alone, it’s clear that this is an outtake release...Littleness T&A isn’t far behind either
We're mocking others' taste today?
Looks like I have plenty to pick up here from your choices, if we're going down that route

Nope, not mocking anyone’s taste, but no way Emotional Rescue is an “excellent” album. Please feel free to pick on anything I wrote in this post, doesn’t bother me. I do ask that you not take it personal, we don’t know each other and really we’re just names on a screen, so take it down a notch or two. I didn’t attack, just stated a view point. Jeez. Btw my statement had more to do with the following.....The consensus when it was released was it was a curve ball of a follow up to Some Girls. Other than 3 maybe 4 songs, most would have to look up the real listing and it’s only 10 songs...do you think most here would have trouble with remembering the songs from Beggar’s, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, Some Girls our Tattoo You?............yea me either.
But like I stated feel free to get slash and burn any post of mine, it is what happens on a message board and in the end it you will only been known as your nickname and nothing more...same with all of us.
So if you want continue to on with your pursuit of being a shrew...or not

Dance, Pt. 1 - not a song, nice time capsule, fitting to a doubble album or good outtake
Summer Romance" - a song
Send It to Me" - filler song
Let Me Go" - very good song
Indian Girl" - a lousy song
Where the Boys Go" - a filler song
Down in the Hole" - a song
Emotional Rescue" - a good song
She's So Cold" - excellent song
All About You - a good song
How is it not an excellent album? Just cause there's no real ''classic'' like Miss You or Start me Up it doesn't mean it's not an excellent album.

If we were to subtract the last 35 years worth of Stones albums, then Emotional Rescue might not be considered an excellent when standing up against the real excellent albums of the first twenty years. But in comparison to Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, Voodoo, Bridges, A Bigger Bang, it is a gold plated masterpiece (minus title track). Blue and Lonesome was pretty good (not excellent) in comparison to those mentioned, but alas it was only blues covers and doesn't really count as a "Stones" album imo.

Ok, but let’s not throw facts away to shape and strengthen a narrative.

The two most obvious weak tracks off of otherwise excellent albums are :
1) "Dear Doctor" from Beggars' Banquet
and
2) "Lies" from Some Girls ..... although "Lies" sounded better live on the '78 tour
"Soul Survivor" is one of the best songs out there by anyone.
"Emotional Rescue" is good as well ..... if you are in the mood to hear it but,I understand that it will never be everyone's cup of tea.

See, Dear Doctor I feel fits with that album more than You Gotta Move fits on Sticky Fingers, but thats just me. Beggars has a bunch of different styles. So does Fingers, but that odd cover thrown in sounds nothing like the rest. Dear Doctor and that style of song has hints elsewhere on Beggars I feel. Lies I think is a fantastic. Actually the only songs I don't like on Some Girls are Miss You and Shattered, although Shattered I do think is better live. But I think thats a fantastic album bookended by the two worst songs.

.... HEY!! .. and what about da other way round .......Albums with only one good track ....
WOT? Excellent albums with only one good track? That's tough! But let me think a while...
The best example of this is "Knocked Out Loaded" by Bob Dylan.
I don't even have to mention the great song - I guess you know
11:01 minutes of sheer brilliance.
Indeed

It’s cool if the album has a special connection to you, it this album speaks to you in a some deep emotional way...no problem with that...but mind you, before Dirty Work this was THE CLUNKER of their catalog (since they released JJF)
BTW it is a great album cover

I don't really have a special connection to it I wasn't born when it came out, it's just a very likable album and the ''plain'' production feels very fresh today.
IMO Emotional Rescue must be an excellent album by any reasonable standards. If you look at most rock bands today they could never dream of writing a song as good as She's So Cold. It's just brilliant songwriting. Summer Romance is a fun very captivating rocker which would be brilliant if they played it live. Send It To Me has an awesome vibe to it and All About You is a stunning ballad.

If you put one throwaway song on an album, it makes all the others sound better.
Which is the throwaway, of course, is a matter of opinion. For example, I never cared for "Jigsaw Puzzle," "Country Honk," "Sway," or "Casino Boogie." On all the other Stones albums I can find more than one song I consider a throwaway. But that's just me.

In the case of the Stones there really is only one answer: You Gotta Move on Sticky. All the other ‘excellent’ albums are excellent through and through (as Keith might say).
Emotional Rescue was my first Stones album so I personally love every song on it and would’ve gladly bought ‘Emotional Rescue Bed Sheets’ had someone thought to market them but at least 4 of the songs are a little too breezy and lyrically juvenile to be considered excellent by anyone but the most ardent Stones bootlicker.

You make it sound like Bitch won the Nobel Prize of Literature. Well, it didn't..
And how can a terrific blues, that even surpasses the brilliant original, not be excellent?
It's ok not to be a fan of the blues, of course, but YGM might be the best blues the Stones ever did, imo.

I think with that post only, you probably have managed that this thread will be another 30 pages at least.
The best blues the Stones ever did.... Although I like YGM, I do think it's the least excellent on Sticky Fingers (but I wouldn't wanna miss it). But the "best blues" the Stones ever did? I beg to differ:
Little Red Rooster
Who's Driving Your Plane
Down In The Hole
Prodigal Son
are coming to mind...
(And I would add Ventilator Blues, but I know you don't consider that a blues).
On a different note, I do agree that in retrospect Emotional Rescue is at least a rather good album (not excellent though), although I'd say the weakest link is Summer Romance and/or Where The Boys Go (I can never tell them apart) and not Indian Girl.

Dance, Pt. 1 - filler. An outtake surely! But a song?
Summer Romance" - a song
Send It to Me" - a better song
Let Me Go" - an even better song
Indian Girl" - hang me out and dry, I LOVE this song
Where the Boys Go" - an ok song
Down in the Hole" - barely a song
Emotional Rescue" - excellent live song, trendy forgettable polished studio song
She's So Cold" - a bewdy, really excellent song
All About You - a give or take song
An OK album - the start of their demise as potent studio musicians/composers? Even the cover - for an album called EMOTIONAL Rescue, it is completely devoid of any emotion. There's just something about the album that strikes me as The Stones, trying to be The Stones...cold-ish.

As you know, my friend, I agree with you SO many times, but I agree that it's a surprise when Powderman is on both our sides!
