SO GOOD
It sort of feels like Mick's flagging when they start 'Satisfaction' and then ZOOM! he's got a whole new gear for the last 2 and a half songs.
the little dance him and Bobby do together during Brown Sugar is A+

"dead flowers" is such a beautiful song, it's only the wierd, affected american "country" accent he was putting on circa let it bleed that keeps me at a distance
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 05:46 (twelve years ago) link
as a american
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 05:47 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno, maybe that's how we sound to yawl
Yeah that was what stopped me from voting Far Away Eyes. I love the song soooooo much, but I can't defend the drawl, lol.
Dead Flowers too.
They do such GREAT interpretations of country, stylistically, and it's not that the drawl is bad it's just hard to convince someone who's never heard the song that it's really okay.

I love him.
I'm kinda mad at myself for not voting for Dead Flowers now. WHOSE DUMB IDEA WAS IT TO ONLY VOTE FOR 20 SONGS.

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 06:02 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't know this, as if he needed to be awesomer (from Keys wikipedia entry) Other recordings made by Keys was the baritone saxophone on Elvis Presley's "Return to Sender", and on John Lennon's first American solo #1 single hit (and the only US #1 in Lennon's lifetime) "Whatever Gets You thru the Night".

Doesn't Start Me Up automatically place on the most hated list? I was in high school when it came out. It was a defining song - if you loved it, you couldn't be a real Stones fan. For years we laughed when the DJ said he was going to play some classic Stones and put on Start Me Up. Too plastic and shiny. The riff was an cheap high when we knew they were capable of Brown Sugar. And the lyrics. After absorbing the murk of Live With Me, Shattered and Stray Cat Blues, Start Me Up just seemed like a joke. Guess I better send in my hated songs ballot.
― that's not my post, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 06:09 (twelve years ago) link
i was 14 & jr. high, thus not properly schooled in the ways of the HS world. i dug "start me up" and still feel a faded echo of the initial attraction, despite the shinyness, despite years of hideous flogging abuse by bill gates and his corpse buddies.

"Dead Flowers" was high on my ballot. Overall, Sticky Fingers is my least favourite of the Hopkins/Taylor four-album run, but it produced two of my top five. (The other being the most obvious one.)

Contenderizer had a good post last night on the comedy-poll thread delineating the difference between Taxi Driver and Tarantino's films in terms of comedy and tone. (I was being a little disingenuous when I asked where the line should be drawn; I think I was trying to force someone to articulate clearly the difference.) I'd draw the same distinction between "Far Away Eyes" and "Dead Flowers." "Far Away Eyes" is just straight laughs for me--it's a nice song, and I like it, but its appeal begins and ends with the broad parody. Jagger slips into the same voice on "Dead Flowers" (less broad, which is one advantage), but I consider it a much darker, more vivid song. Even though I know that "I'll be in my basement room/with a needle and a spoon/and another girl to the pain away" is, in itself, a bit of a caricature of the Rolling Stones' image circa 1971, the line, and the whole song, actually does encapsulate why they seemed so mysterious and grown-up to me when I discovered them around that time.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 11:15 (twelve years ago) link
Agreed. Jagger's injection of humor into "Dead Flowers" makes it more moving

Jagger may have been taking the piss out of Gram Parsons a bit, too; supposedly, he was acutely jealous of Parsons' friendship with Keith.

"Unexpectedly fallen in love with ... Dance (pt I) from Emotional Rescue"
Try listening to Led Zep's "Trampled Under Foot" while watching an episode of Welcome Back Kotter. Same thing! (Guess what song made my most hated list?)
― Three Word Username, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Trampled Underfoot was exactly what I was thinking. There are a few other yacht rock type influences buried in there too though, it's a smoother listen than Zep.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
Dance has an awesome groove but a) the vocals sound like they were recorded via a sewer drain across the street from the studio and b) Kieth's voice is a little, 'yeesh'.
It's not quite right. But almost great.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
The vocals are awesome! I love that kind of slurry shoutalong. I cannot imagine hearing it in a club though - was supposedly a big dance hit at the time.

Love this record so much. I still say it's by far the best Stones record of the 80s. The caliber of guest musicians is ridiculous: Bobby Keys, sure, but also Mick Taylor...and Johnnie Johnson! Maceo Parker! Bootsy Collins! Sarah Dash!
