Hey Logie,
what I meant was.....someone used that expression about 2 songs (I don't like) on Between The Buttons. So, I gave a description of my soft spot for them.
Luckily, I like Emotional Rescue. So, it was a sort of joke.

LOL!!!

NOW I understand!!! IT's alright, my brain has been somewhere else these past couple of days!

Just dug ER out of the collection and will see how it sounds in the car. I've got a feeling I'm gonna love it somehow.

Logie, You're gonna dig it. Emotional Rescue has a summer-feeling to it, just like Nashville Skyline. In fact I'm gonna put it on, me too, right now!

Love the album and every song on it.

ER is to Some Girls what GHS is to Exile: both albums have the Stones freeing themselves from the shackles of its predecessor. But Whereas GHS is gloomy and has an autumnal feel about it, ER is quirky, light-footed and takes an ironic stance.

"Music is the frozen tapioca in the ice chest of history."

"Shit!... No shit, awright!"

After Some Girls ER was a big disapointment.

At the time I told people, "I think they were all sitting down when they made this one."

I don't think there's one song on it that rates over a B, (if you want to give them letter grades)

Most of it is listenable, just not up to standards once held by the Rolling Stones.

And at the time, it had the worst cover of any Stones album.

You get an F for not considering She's So Cold and Let Me Go as 'A' material!

Now there's grade inflation for you.

Let's get real.

If you give "She's So Cold" an "A"... then what do you give a song like "Brown Sugar?"

An "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++??

There are some good songs on ER, some OK ones, and a really awful one.

But nothing great.

WTBG gets a solid A - so stick that in yer loog pipe and smoke it

and what's your grade for Honky Tonk Women?

WTBG -A
DIAH -A
SITM -A
SSC -A
Dance -A

Easily in my top ten - Not as great as Some Girls, but same era and on some songs - still the punk influence.

and never hanging out Where The Boys All Go.

Enjoy your Kool Aid.

thanks. enjoy your pipe

ohhh no: i'm backsliding.
i *really* want to learn to dig this album more, because not digging it much doesn't get me anywhere, does it.
but when i hit All About You a couple of days ago - that thing just blows the whole rest of the album out of the water!
and then i put on Tattoo You. and ohhh man the *relief* of an album that i don't need to struggle to get into: ~*thank you Stones!*~

on ER - okay, that one track that i don't even want to talk about is (to me) obviously an appalling joke -
but then there are these other tracks where it's like ... Mick keeps shooting the numbers in the foot with crappy jokes.
there's so much *great* humour on it - WTBG is a glorious rock & roll riot until those lame-sounding chicks intrude;
Dance - well, at least the dumb-sounding joke bit is over right at the start so you can get into the rest of it.
and the lyric to Indian Girl is just ... sorry, i don't mind the idea, i don't even mind the style, but it just sounds so *forced*.
(and while i'm here ... what is it that's buggin me about Summer Romance? it seems like it should be fine, but it just doesn't take off.)

ow ow ow - sorry! i had to get that said.
now maybe i can go back to learning to love it.

With B2B, the worst Stones album IMO.

No comparaison with Back In black, 1980 too...

Or Bump In The Night by Ian McLagan, also 1980.

Mac kicked the Stones ass that year.

Emotional Rescue is a good album. It's not in the Classic level, but it's still very good. I would put it in the same category as Goat's Head Soup and Black and Blue; very good albums but not career defining material. It's not as good as the last 3 (VL, B2B and AB and it's definitely not in the top tier (Exile, Let it Bleed, Some girls, etc) but it's better than Steel Wheels and Dirty Work and most of the solo stuff. A B+ album with some really rocking tracks.

Where The Boys Go is a song I've always wished they could've played, but I think the young girls singing at the end really add to it, and I don't think it would sound as it should with Bernard and Lisa. Bernard and Lisa are fantastic singers and they really add to the band and I woudln't trade them for any other singers, but sometimes their voices don't really go with the songs. I think Anybody Seen My Baby is a good example of that. A great song that was turned into a good song live b/c the background singers' voices dind't really compliment the song like Mick's voice does in the recording.

I cant help myself!!!!!Help it that I m older than you!!!!

I guess Its taken for granted that R&R and the Rolling Stones being a dark and forbidden subject should only take place in the cover of the night!We will keep the threath alive sweet p!!!

Wait, I thought that track must be "Indian Girl," but you talk about that one later in your post. So it's... the title track or "Send It to Me"?

Wich one is the problem child sweet?

CC, i like Send It to Me. and Indian Girl'll do (except for the vocal, which i can mainly just ignore).
the one i don't even want to talk about really does seem to me to be a joke - an appalling one, but a joke.
i forgave them for it long ago, mind you, but i just don't feel any motivation to learn to like it.

and yeah Rooster, i see you can't help it! :E
