QuoteRoom1009 Still a bit ashamed to confess this, but I've still not listened to Blue And Lonesome. I know some of the songs, but have never yet sat down and played the whole thing to the end.

Quotemasseywinos Enough anti-drinking sentiments!! I for one enjoy a cold beer or ten, occasional wine, the odd scotch, a shot of bourbon and a nice stiff vodka soda.

So, a new album of the Rolling Stones can aim for one of the following options: 1) A mainstream success 2) An artistic success 3) Something to make die-hard fans happy 1) A mainstream success is very unlikely. The closest they got to that in the past 30 years was with Blue & Lonesome and that's still miles off the coast of real mainstream success. Diehard fans would probably hate i

"Berlin" by Lou Reed. At least, as far as I can make out, it was very badly received when it came out, was not a commercial success and apparently in general perceived as one of his worst albums. When Lou Reed died, I read this somewhere and I was flabbergasted. I consider Berlin his best album, and in fact his only album really worth listening to (apart from some of the VU albums, but

Quoteash Quotemarianna Rock critics sometimes tend to jump on the same bandwagon. They also think they are there to impose some kind of order, therefore they like lists.

A lot of these songs don't really seem "long" to me ("Worried About You", "Let It Bleed". Then again, some songs I would have guess "long", aren't really ("Undercover", "Tie You Up", "100 years ago").
