at this point any exploration of albums after Tattoo You would be done for case study

oh wait i like "She Was Hot"

yeah, undercover is semi-defensible. i like all three of the singles (including "too much blood"). any serious investment in the later albums has to be some combination of masochism, nostalgia and barefaced challops.

It just sounds like reheated hooks to me, and Mick's weird barky vocals really get on my nerves. To be fair, I haven't given them an earnest, non-prejudiced listen but I don't know if you understand how much it hurts to hear that stuff, given how much I loooooooooooove the 60's-70's Stones.
And I don't want danceable Stones, like nightclub dancing Stones. Outside of Miss You I can really live without that.

But with a couple of exceptions the post-TY albums don't disgrace their legacy like IOR&R or GHS do.
VG otm. where goats head soup is concerned, this is the basest of calumny. pistols at dawn.

Aside from Angie & Starfucker GHS is listless.
― Euler, Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago) link
GWS' flirtation with decadence sounds more jaundiced and cynical than Jagger in DW "honestly" writing and singing about his ambivalence about privilege.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago) link
well, duh
― da croupier, Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago) link
the murky production works superbly on Angie though, you can hear other vocals, distant moans, bleeding through.

I hear "Angie" and think lol American critics thought Bowie was a mannered vocalist?
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:59 (twelve years ago) link
it's about the piano imo, & the haunted background. isn't he singing about fucking Bowie's wife too?
― Euler, Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:01 (twelve years ago) link
when we were young the story was that Mick had fucked Bowie in a threesome with Angie; maybe Rod was there with the hamster & they all got thir stomach pumped the next morning
― Euler, Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
or fucking with Bowie
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
just listened to GHS today. it's a solid fucking record. fewer great songs than what preceded but the filler is really good filler and "winter" is all-time, unless you blame it for the counting crows.
makes a nice bookend with Satanic Majesties around the crazy-mojo peak.

There's nothing wrong with GHS at all, and even the 'worst' songs are nowhere near as unlistenable as the later period Stones stuff that Alfred stans for that I object to.
Winter's beautiful.

Goats Head Soup is better than its reputation. It's Only Rock 'n Roll, on the other hand, blows.
A Bigger Bang is great. It's one of the two or three best records they've made since 1972.

I do like Bigger Bang. I dont have any favorite tracks but I can listen to it without sadly shaking my head

Submitted my HR-heavy ballot - in the end I just didn't have much desire to hunt down great album tracks that I know I'll get around to eventually. The problem is that I've known and loved the obvious selections on that comp for so long that it would take weeks or months of repeated listens for me to feel similarly about a deep cut here or there. I could vote for tracks I heard and liked based on recommendations ITT, but that would mean bumping songs I've cherished for a dozen years or more. Think it's more important to be honest about what you love.

The making of "One Hit" video, it should be noted, was filmed right in the middle of Charlie's short but very intense drug phase.

I was gonna say, he seemed to be in pretty bad shape in that interview. Every other interview of his I've seen, he's been extremely gregarious and engaging.

<3 charlie. "short but very intense" is the way to do yr drug phase, imo. so long you come out ok on the other end.
