but hey i'm also the guy who sometimes thinks the second side of Tattoo You is one of the better things they did.

Goat's Head is where I get off the Stones bus, but even then I think there's some filler on it. The sequencing is a joke too - 'Coming Down Again' third on side 1??? I worked up an alternate version a couple months ago for listening purposes:
1. 100 Years Ago (I think by Goats they were stuck in the rut of having a typical 'stones' song open an album, and 'Mr.D' always felt really forced, whereas '100 Years Ago' sounds much more interesting/unexpected in that slot)2. Dancing In The Light (the old bootleg instrumental version, not the Exile deluxe one. There's a definite lack of Keith on Goat's and this track helps to alleviate that)3. Heartbreaker4. Angie5. Tops (released on Tattoo You but recorded in 72. The vocals weren't done until 79/80 though, but it's one of my favourite Stones songs so I cheated and used the Tattoo version here. The opening chord blends with the final chord in Angie perfectly)6. Separately (Taylor/Keith/Hopkins instrumental ballad done during the Exile sessions)7. Waiting On A Friend (the 73 version with rough vocals and no sax)8. Criss-Cross Mind (Goat's outtake, more uptempo than 'Can You Hear The Music')9. Winter10. Leather Jacket ('Silver Train' was from the Stargroves sessions in 1970, as was this, so pilfering from a few years back didn't seem out of place. The instrumentation fits in with the Goat's Head sound and it gives Taylor some songwriting credit)11. I Ain't Signifying (the bootleg version with 72 era Mick vocals, not the Exile Deluxe version. I could've used 'Hide Your Love' but I like this better, esp. for the "have you ever had the feeling that you've been here before?" line)12. Coming Down Again (the only way to end things imo)

They pulled out "Dancing With Mr. D" for the obscure tracks/potty break section on early dates on the current tour.

i found a fair copy of The Rolling Stones "Made in the Shade" the other day for $5. it's a really great compilation of early-to-mid-70s stuff:
Side A"Brown Sugar" 3:48"Tumbling Dice" 3:45"Happy" 3:04"Dance Little Sister" 4:11"Wild Horses" 5:42
Side B"Angie" 4:33"Bitch" 3:38"It's Only Rock'n Roll (But I Like It)" 5:07"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" 3:26"Rip This Joint" 2:22

i think "Goats Head Soup" would be my choice from this poll, love "Angie" and "Heartbreaker" (and "Dancing With Mr. D").

Okay, so while this period of the Stones might not be everyone's favourite, but the very best of the material from this time still makes me think "fuck, I love the Stones" ... which is something I can't say of, for example, the Undercover era or Bridges to Babylon ...

haha, I was sorta half-worried my post would've been a little too much for the thread, glad to see it was well received. Here's a link:

Also, if you haven't seen it, here's a rough sketch of the originally proposed cover by Hipgnosis:

The Daltrey cover was designed by Graham Hughes, Roger's cousin. Dunno if he worked for/with Hipgnosis. Hughes also designed/photographed the Quadrophenia and Odds and Sods covers.

I remember the kerfuffle around the ad for Black and Blue that featured a bound young woman who was . . . well, black and blue.
I really dig "Hand of Fate." Some nice, if basic, back and forth by Ron and Keith in that one.
