What about the "toasting"- inspired singing during the last part of "Hot Stuff". Anyway, that was how it once was described. In case, might it not qualify this song to be ranked as reggae-related, I wonder?

Having read threads like this, what I wonder is: Who are we to give moral judgements of other people's lives? Be they "ordinary people" or rock stars. And do we, after all, really have a common moral basis? On all issues? Then for each issue, to the extent that we should all the same have a common moral basis (in all elements?) as adviseable, is it to be strictly lived up to? Ev

QuoteEdward Twining An example of Jagger singing nasal His singing nasal , I agree there he does, is in my reception of it part of something more in singing technique, that I am not able to describe. Expressing therebye perhaps a slight psychic pain or embarassment (or something in that vein), I think personally, to very good effect for the song and the feeling it transmits.

Eventually, I see some praise of "Sweethearts Together", which I fancy. On first hearing "Always Suffering" in the context of Bridges to Babylon, I thought, a little disappointed after the two preceding songs that immediately pleased me, it had to be a rework of some songs they must have done before. However, it soon grew on me, developed an identity of its own, and, in a

QuoteDandelionPowderman IMO, it has an incredible groove, and is one of the better authentic rock'n'roll tunes by the Stones. For years I have loved the version that is on the old "Accidents Will Happen" vinyl studio outtakes album. I find it amazingly catchy in a manner that equals some of their early 60s material.

QuoteStonesTod could someone translate this into something coherent? It is not agreement on which tracks that are good and not that good. It means that a song that which is a socalled filler to one person, might be an attraction or at any rate good enough for another.

To have it said in encyclopedias of rock in the future that they were a creative band in the course of 50 years or more, I think the Stones have got to release a studio album of new songs, even if it be represented with one song only during concerts.
