I noticed a lot of people couldn't help including songs from ER (made in the 70s) in their list. If you would include Tattoo You, yes, then it would be possible. But you would end up with Tattoo You again. Maybe, instead of "Hang Fire" you could put "Tie You Up" and maybe add "Thief in the Night" or "Feel on Baby" to side B. Maybe. But if you

QuoteTops Feel on Baby is probobly my favourite song from Undercover. The album is really good but not as great as Tattoo You. It's their best reggae attempt, and together with Tie You Up, indeed one of their best songs on that album.

This solo is of the same order as that solo on King Bee, either the Stones' or the Slim Harpo version. All summarised with that old cliché: less is more.

1. Despite their similarity, why did you put "Running Too Deep" and "Will But You Won't" on the same album, one after the other? 2. Are there any bands that started in the 80's, or later that you really like, and why? Likewise, any new "music styles" that inspired you? 3. What do you think of Captain Beefheart, what of PIL, what of Nick Cave, and what

Perfection. And there's only one band in the world who can really play this well. (And obviously only one singer who can really sing it the way it should be sung, although I don't think the Bette Midler version is too bad).

A stupid joke. The one really bad song on Some Girls. Actually, when I think about Some Girls, I tend to even forget this song is on it. Mick is doing such a great job on that album, but he ruined this one with his over-the-top intent to try to be funny, hillbilly accent and all. He should have saved this for the yearly Christmas party at the Rolling Stones office with everybody to drunk to notic

Great opening song for Some Girls. Only the Stones could play this song the way they do: the way Mick sings it, the way the guitars sound, and of course Charlie and Bill connecting. And I happen to like the harmonic too, playing a very weird tune. It doesn't work as well live though. But the album version is great.

I am afraid I agree with the prognosis of HMS on this one. In order to have them create a really good album, on the level of their Magnificent Seven, they should do the following: 1) lock themselves up for at least 6 months, somewhere isolated without internet, radio, tv, discotheques 2) not invite anybody, no guest-players, no producers, no friendly actors, no journalists 3) play each

Weakest song on Some Girls, but since the rest of the album is so good, it sort of survives within that context (a bit like Hang Fire on Tattoo You).

The Stones often rather suck at reggae. Their only attempt at it that I like (very much) is Feel On Baby. And Keith's Words of Wonder is not bad either.

Coming to think of it, when I was young (in the 80s), there was a joke about this. Paul McCartney dies and goes to heaven. Saint Peter lets him in, and tells him: "I noticed you didn't do badly playing music down there, maybe you want to join our band in heaven?" He leads him the way, and shows the band, practicing: there's Jimi Hendrix on guitar and Keith Moon on drums, C

QuoteHMS The Stones may have never forgiven Bill for leaving, but you never forgave the Stones for hiring Darryl instead of breaking up, it seems.

I am guessing that people who want Bill Wyman (no virtuoso either, by the way) or Mick Taylor back, n
