I understand all the criticisms of the song (the 80's production, the drums), but I love One Hit. I love the intro, I love the break, the acoustic guitar, the smashing electric guitars, Jagger's voice, the lyrics, I even love the drums. The version on the album is better than the single version: the break (with only the acoustic guitar) and the re-intro after that are longer and have m

Dirty Work is a terrible album. It is actually the first album since Her Satanic that contains songs that are genuinely embarrassing ("Don't Hold Back" and "Back To Zero" ). I don't know what they were thinking when they made those. Probably they were not thinking at all. However, even on their worst albums they often manage to have a few good songs: "One Hit&qu

Wow, and that's all? I am disappointed, I was expecting something a bit more dramatic. It probably was his scarf, and he fixed it in a few seconds. Not a big deal at all, even when watching it at home. My favourite Stones f-up of all time is still "She's So Cold, 1982" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPQEbL1IAx8). After all, the only way to see how a watch works is by takin

I didn't know who Taylor Swift was, but the video uploaded here I found much better than I would have expected after reading the negative comments. I think most Stones fans (including myself) like the Stones especially for their hard, bluesy, rock sound and maybe tend to forget that actually for a few years in the early sixties they made some decent pop songs too. "As Tears Goes By"
