This is pretty great imo - as good as anything hair metal was putting out at the time. That sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it's not, except maybe insofar as you should be able to spot the Stones in Bruce, but not the other way round.
It was a single, but a totally failed one. I'm deliberately not posting the video btw.

surprised how many people saying how sucky IOR'n'R is...i only slightly disagree but GHS is greater suck!

One Hit to the Body --- god I forgot about that. I remember digging that one as a kid.

thanks, all (but don't let that stop you from posting more). will check these when i get home. "one hit" didn't do much for me at the time, but maybe i'll like it more now.

GHS is brilliant, or at least half of it is, though i don't expect any of you to understand

I'm generally not a fan of Keith songs, but this one is very charming
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 March 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
(I'm assuming it's a Keith number, but possibly Jagger smoked a pound of Tarmac before stepping up to the mic)

Dirty Work has "One Hit," "Hold Back," "Winning Ugly," and my favorite Keef ballad, "Sleep Tonight."

why is "doot doot (heartbreaker)" so bad and hated? all-time for the keyboard work alone.

I love it, personally, it's such a groove. I pissed myself laughing when I found a live bootleg where Mick introduces it, talking really fast, as 'this one's called ... Doo-Doo-Doo Doo-Doo'
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 March 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link
And those horns!

I just heard him do that on Brussels Affair, so lol

pretty amazing version after mick has his larf
― tylerw, Friday, 30 March 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
based on comments itt i gotta stand up and say:• "i got the blues" is classic for the horns alone• "love is a bed for the blues" is as good a lyric as rock music has to offer• and by the time it all comes together around the 3:00 mark I believe every word Jagger's corny english ass is saying. fake it so real.

okay, folks, i tried with those post-undercover tracks, really i did. no go. won't trash anything in detail or by name, but not for me.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Saturday, 31 March 2012 05:11 (twelve years ago) link
Gotta rep for "Undercover of the Night" which still sounds awesome to these ears - crisp and exciting with those lovely falsetto ooh-oohs. Chris Kimsey and the Glimmer Twins really knew how to produce awesome sounding Stones music. I think this is why I am still not sick of "Start Me Up" - it's just such a great sounding song.
― Kent Burt, Saturday, 31 March 2012 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
Both Undercover and Heartbreaker made my list!
― broom air, Saturday, 31 March 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
"Heartbreaker" (sorry, DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO) made mine, "Undercover" nearly did.

everyone voted for Heart Of Stone and Play With Fire, right?
― gospodin simmel, Saturday, 31 March 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
I never took to that early folk side of them--I don't even think I cared for those two songs when I bought Hot Rocks as a teenager. Useless addendum: if memory serves, "Play with Fire" is Metal Mike Saunders' favourite Rolling Stones' song. Not sure what Mick Jagger's favourite Angry Samoans song is.
― clemenza, Saturday, 31 March 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
Heart of Stone was one of my last cuts :(
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 31 March 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
umm, those were among my early cuts. it's not that i don't like them - i do! - just that i wanted to rep hard for my non-hot rocks favorites. i probably should have saved some love for play with fire, though. used to be so confused by the apparent contradiction in the "owns a block in st. john's wood" line.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, neither of those made my list!
― broom air, Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
Heart of Stone has always been a favorite
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:18 (twelve years ago) link
those two are crucial early Jagger tracks for me. sort of like what Sympathy for the Devil/Let It Bleed were for the late 60's and Brown Sugar/Miss You for the 70's (I know that is chronologically flawed)
― gospodin simmel, Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:27 (twelve years ago) link
He really threw himself into his delivery in those songs, they have a real theatrical quality that I love

I regret not giving the deep cuts on the albums I own on vinyl more of a listen (I never wear headphones when listening to LPs so they can blur compared to what I've got on CD), but with the Stones its easy to find 20 classics even if you haven't dragged the well.
― da croupier, Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
for sure
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 31 March 2012 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
OK I sent my ballot
ranking the 20 was surprisingly easy
― Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Saturday, 31 March 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
ballot's nearing completion & I notice that evidently I'm quite a fan of the songs that get blasted as misogynist, which I think isn't an entirely fair description but I prefer Mick's more acidic & focused lyrics, & I think women bring that out best.
