QuoteDoxa It is even painful to listen teh B-side of TATTOO YOU (yes, I am old-fashionable) and wonder what a hec happened to Jagger after that... It is most probably the most 'mature' (in a good sense) album side the band has ever put out, and Jagger's absultely INCREDIBLE there - the way he sings through those slows cuts - in falsetto, duetting with himself, high and low, changin

Mick was not up to par on Dirty Work he was concentrating on his own stuff. He clearly did not want the Stones to do live Aid and

Quoteslew The Dirty Work album had the ingredients to be a decent album the problem is Jagger wanted to end the Stones and was not into the album at all. Fight and Hold On are two of his worst vocal performances ever in my book. If someone likes them fine but the album does not work for me. I never listen to it except One Hit which I love. when and where did jagger ever state that he wanted to

you could argue that madonna and some of these people actually hurt rock and roll.starting with the disco movement in the 70s club owners began putting in dj's instead of hiring bands.throw up a disco ball and there you go.madonna and that dance bullsht in the 80s just kept it going.jann wenner and his crap magazine have very little to do with r&r,they just use the name for their mainstr
