To me Hot Rocks is the best. It's not just the hits from the period, but it's put together with a sense of progression and coherence. Made In The Shade is second and has some of the same feeling.

QuoteRockman Some Girls, the title track, was 23 minutes long originally. It was so long it took up a whole reel of tape! It just went on and on and on, and if you watch the master go by after I'd edited it down you can't see any black tape. You just see all my editing tape (laughs). - Chris Kimsey, 1978 Oh yeah, that's the version I was thinking of. 23 minutes, not ju

I prefer the original by length. The remix is not my cup of tea, but I think it is good that it differs so much from the original.

It's the best vocal delievery from Keith since Before They Make Me Run. It is not a highligt on the album, but it's not a track I'm gonna skip (none on the album are). I'm not a fan of Keith's Tom Waits mannerisms, and I'm relieved that he has grown out of those, maybe due to quitting cigarettes.

QuoteJadedFaded I think some folks are over-analyzing the lyrics, but that’s how art works. The meaning depends on the beholder. That might be right, but others tend to under-analyzing... And Jagger himself supports the under-analzing by stating that he just improvised the words/scribled the lyrics on the spot in the studio and that they don't mean much. That is a clever strategy, but

Quotedrwatts I'm hoping for a whole side of Keith's 'boring jazzballads'. That sure would be a nightmare to me. I hope for none - it was such a relief that he had no vocals on Blue and Lonesome.
Forum: Tell Me

Quotedrewmaster What I find interesting (and amusing) is that, if Hackney Diamonds is indeed the album's title, the Stones haven't chosen an album title that in any way reflects how much time has passed since their last one, nor suggests that this could be their last studio album. No sweeping exits here (just as they never say "this is our last tour"). Drew Sorry, but you

QuoteElmo Lewis QuoteGasLightStreet Where the Stones got Melody from... Wow! Obviously "inspired by Billy Preston" Yes, the influence is obvious, but I think "Melody" strugles to be in it's own right - and succeeds. "Melody" is an odditty and one of the highlights on Black and Blue.
