Quotedeardoctor I know this track gots a lot of hate. But indeed I love this remix: brilliant guitar weaving Winning Ugly is potentially a very good song, also the Dirty Work version, but it gets ruined by the 80s sound and production. One day, a grungy, swampy, funky rock and roll band will make the perfect cover version of that song.

It doesn't make sense, because Tattoo You is in its entirety a great album, but anyway: Start Me Up Down In The Hole Slave Heaven One Hit (To the Body) Feel On Baby Tie You Up (Pain Of Love) Ain't No Use For Crying She's So Cold Emotional Rescue Waiting On A Friend Slipping Away

The 80s were a terrible decade. It was the time of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and a whole lot of other terrible nonsense bands. Even the Stones fell victim to the 80s sound on Dirty Work. One Hit is a great song but it would have sounded a lot better with a different production (especially the drums and bass).

QuoteAJDuffer Great discussion. I really like Where the Boys Go as a fun, punk song, but I also like Shattered for a similar reason. Both are very fun, high energy songs. I like Shattered too, because it has an original approach in structure and a very groovy beat. Where The Boys Go sounds more like an average loud rock song.

Quoteribbelchips My 'problem' with Indian Girl is that the song has very serious lyrics, but Jaggers sings half of the song in a nonchalant tone.. a little over-acted. I guess to Jagger too much seriousness would be "preachy". The song is a bit over-the-top, but the slight tongue-in-cheek saves it from too much heavy handedness, without taking away the entire message, I thin

QuoteDandelionPowderman Those songs are quite different, imo. SR has a 50s, rockabilly-feel to it, especially the guitars and the repeated chorus. The Stones back to their roots, so to speak. WTBG is more punk-sounding, also guitar-wise - and Mick is putting on his best accent to, well, accentuate just that. For me, it's the brilliantly recorded instruments, and especially the guitar s

I find it kind of interesting that opinions seem to be most divided on "Summer Romance", "Indian Girl", "Where The Boys Go" and "Emotional Rescue". With "Indian Girl", obviously one needs a kind of weak spot for schmalzy melodrama and latin music to like it. With "ER", one needs to appreciate disco up to a certain point (although, li

It's not one of their 6 greatest, but it's still one of their good albums. I think I did this before, but maybe my taste has changed: 1. Dance 5/10 2. Summer Romance 5/10 3. Send It to Me 6/10 4. Let Me Go 6/10 5. Indian Girl 7/10 Side two 1. Where the Boys Go 5/10 2. Down in the Hole 9/10 3. Emotional Rescue 9/10 4. She's So Cold

QuoteStoneage So the fanbase conclusion here is that there is absolutely no need for a new album with original material since their production of new material has been so prolific during the last two decades; spoiling us with new remakes of old songs and new blues covers? And asking for a new album is really the height of insolence and ignorance? Did I get it right? No. There are: [*] Peop

> What does 'new' mean here? Well, that's easy to answer. When you hear something and think: "Hey, I never heard that before. Sounds completely new to me and very different from what I heard before." With a bit of luck, it might be good too.
