alfred and balls otm

xxpost THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH GOAT'S HEAD SOUP, you terrible man

"balls otm"

^ can't stress this enough

xp: yeah, alfred notm abt goats head soup, but i feel i've made that point with sufficient vigor elsewhere

he will laugh on the other side of his 80's face when Winter and Star Star poll highly in the results.

s'all good. We can listen to "100 Years Ago" over a scotch.

done

listening to "Worried About You," I wonder how anyone can fuck with that Wayne Perkins solo.

yuss to 100-year-old scotch

slighted "heaven" in my earlier praise of tattoo you, so

2nd half of Worried About You is better than the first half...I can't get with the falsetto/keyboard thing

This will scare you:

however: Jagger playing keyboards live!

fwiw my 3 most hated ('you can't always get what you want' actually made my ballot - blame the big chill - so clearly no eye to eye here)

xpost oh jeez Alfred...I hung with it til he hit 'sweet things' and my brain shut down

oh I don't mind the harmonica interlude in "Might as Well Get Juiced." But, yes, there is the sense in which this is Grandpa programming keyboard sounds which sounded antique in 1997/

'might as well get juiced' might as well be babylon zoo.

and "Back to Zero" for years was the only song I skipped on DW. Then I warmed to the bridge ("I'm looking to the future/I keep on glancing back").

the vinyl slipcover is amaaaaaaazing

maaaaaaaaaaaan

mooooooooooooooooon, no wait, really? hahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahah

"2000 Man" is another winner that I hope, but doubt, we'll be able to talk about in the tracks part. Mick's vocal is lovely, & the guitar on the quiet parts is too.

seriously you know even before you drop the needle this will be no ordinary musical experience.

"Gomper" is an abomination, though.

are satanic majesties and emotional rescue the two stones lps to have the biggest reversal in reputation over the past whatever years?

they are among me, fwiw

lol "among me"

actually maybe steel wheels in the reverse direction? i'm not sure ppl remember just how well received and successful that album was at the time.

also goats head soup among me

I don't know if I love any hated albums as much as you weirdos

never dug Steel Wheels, always dug GHS

Gimme time though. Maybe I'll turn into a Bridges To Babylon stan

ugh Steel Wheels. bleh

satanic majesties definitely owns this category though. flopped and was critically savaged on release, seems to be hugely beloved these days by both critics & fans. i think it's half a mess but has definite high points.

"high points" lol

That's a very good question re ER. Christgau liked it for one. Not being there at the time, I can't see why SG outtakes would have been received so disparagingly.

Dirty Work has its partisans too. The only album that hasn't recovered is Undercover, which probably does deserve a good reevaluation. I know I'll never care for it.

satanic majesties is a great listen, imo. it didn't make my 5 but i really dig it. puts the lie to "the beatles invented everything" because: space rock!

ILM sez: Their Satanic Majesties Request

well, emotional rescue is a pretty draggy and uninspired album, overall. if it's been dramatically reevaluated, i'd guess that that reflects more on its few standout tracks than the album as a whole.

I always liked ER but that is probably because it coincided w/my formative years (although I came very close to putting "Indian Girl" on my most hated). I definitely had to ignore a lot of critical panning to explore Satanic - it was partially rehabilitated by a great Sky Cries Mary cover version of 2K Light Years in the early 90's.

Draggy? When it's got "Let Me Go," "Summer Romance," "Dance Pt. 1," "She's So Cold," and "Where The Boys Go"? Plus: "All About You"!

ER rose the highest in my estimation for this poll; I ended up voting for it.

I can see "draggy" but I dig "down in the hole" a ton. much love for "she's so cold" and "all about you" as well.
