"Saint Of Me" is awesome. Keef's fills are just filthy. But it's 1997. Yup, it's been all downhill for these guys since Bridges To Babylon...
― rogermexico (rogermexico), Friday, 21 October 2005 02:21 (eighteen years ago) link
'Undercover of the Night' has just pushed the period I'd consider classic Stones out beyond 1978 for the first time. The world is suddenly alive with new possibilities, a bit like when the bridges became unblocked in Vice City.

"Start Me Up" becomes my very obvious and boring pic here, but the era has also seen other good cuts. Most notably the singles from the ""Steel Wheels" album.

Noted xp. This is excellent news. The one time I saw the Stones there was tangible audience deflation any time they ventured beyond about 1973. Hopefully now I can slay the memory of seeing Jagger attempt to lead a singalong to 'Saint of Me'.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 30 July 2009 21:36 (fourteen years ago) link
Really? He said recently that "Saint of Me" is the one of the few modern songs they have to play live because the response is so extraordinary.
― Heric E. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 30 July 2009 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link
I do quite like it, but it did not get much of a response that night. I think it was current at the time, so audiences may be more familiar now.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 30 July 2009 21:39 (fourteen years ago) link
High Wire. Another great one is Don't Tear Me Up, the Mick Jagger solo song.

That whole album is pretty good.

Oh I think Mixed Emotions is the song I would go with. I remember hearing it on radio ads for the album and thinking that the Rolling Stones were back, but that didn't last very long.

it was funny though, bridges to babylon ended up being the one that held up the worst by a mile, and i thought that was well received at the time

There’s a noticeable dropoff at Bridges to Babylon (including to Mick’s voice, but I know that happens)... do that and A Bigger Bang have their fans?Anyway, I’m pleased to discover how good they remained on record, into the ‘90s (and beyond?). Tattoo You is the only post-‘78 album that I love all the way through — but man, you could put together one hell of a 2CD comp of choice cuts from the others.
― FODMAP of the reef (morrisp), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 15:20 (four years ago) link
I haven't kept up with / saw no reason to keep up with post-'78 Stones, but I listened to A Bigger Bang a couple of times and was extremely surprised at how decent it was. With past Stones records, when the singles were rolled out (with the requisite hype), I just thought, meh, more dull-ass Stones shit; if "Harlem Shuffle" or "Has Anybody Seen My Baby?" is the lead single, there's little hope for anything great lurking elsewhere on the record. But "Rough Justice" and "Streets of Love" are...good. Very good, even.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 15:34 (four years ago) link
Like a lot of Classic Rockers, the Stones had problems with CD Bloat. There's decent vinyl-length albums hidden in much of their later work.
