listening to 80s' stones tonight...

some great stuff. love this era

Pretty cool man

but what about Let Me Go ? and the Richards' songs?

I was pretty much sticking to singles and tracks that charted. Although I guess "Little T&A" probably should have been on there as well.

And according to Wiki the "Emotional Rescue"-era track "Think I'm Going Mad" charted briefly on the US Mainstream rock charts when it was released as the b-side to "She Was Hot", but I only have a crappy vinyl rip of that track sadly.

WHAAAAAAA! I mean not every album by them is perfect lol

But u liked no track's off Exile.. or Let it bleed NONE

okay... I can be fair & recall liking some of Let It Bleed

I think my expectations were waaaaaay too high

Well... i can't say that it hasn't happened with me and band's i tried to like=]

Maybe in the future you will listen again and like it who know's

but there are a few critically acclaimed band's it took me YEARS to get. A Good example is U2 i used to not get the greatness now i have every album and am a big fan lol

refer to the albums in a future "clean up day"

1. Let It Bleed

2. Beggars Banquet

3. Exile on Main Street

4. Between the Buttons

5. Aftermath

6. Out of our heads

7. Some Girls

8. The Rolling Stones

9. Flowers

10. Sticky Fingers

I am a big fan of their 60s Decca stuff. The most essential complimation is the Greatest Hits 2 Hot Rocks and Fazed Cookees (Its an old tape I've got, issued by Decca/Abkco) (Allen Klein) after they went to their Rolling Stones Records. One song I would love to hear was the last single they gave them with the songs Starfucker and Cocksucker Blues

I'm sure Starfucker is a song they recorded for Goat's Head Soup (73) called Star Star for obvious reasons Cocksucker Blues is on Youtube, and it's a dark, acoustic and ironic tale of a male teen prostitute raped by the police

It is Star Star, but these two original versions according to Bill Wyman in Stone Alone were originally taped in 1970, when they were furious with Decca and Allen Klein and just wanted to get out of their contract.

thanks for the info , I didn't know that, I thought it was written for the first time during the '73 Jamaican sessions...

Nah its cool, they were re recorded, and Star Star recorded in Jamaica had different lyrics. Knowing their drug addled memories, maybe Bill thought they had been written in 1970, but I knew by then the Stones wanted out of that contract and to leave Britain as tax exiles (I read it was like 91% in 1970 and that was enough for them to go to France). Thats a huge tax considering that in 1970 they had had 3 huge albums in a row, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Get yer ya yas out, and most of the money went to the might exchequer rather than to Micks lips or Keiths urgent need for Dental treatment.

This may sound kinda weird to y'all but I really loved Their Satanic Majesties Request and still have fond memories of those songs.

While it may seem to younger generations like a WTF novelty record completely out of left field as compared to the Stones rock 'n roll oeuvre, for those of us who were there, coming of age in the late 60's, it was an amazing record.

There was always a kind of yin and yang, light and dark competition between the Beatles and the Stones and the release of Their Satanic Majesties Request on the heels of Sgt. Pepper made perfect sense within the musical context of the times.

We, as a social group, wuz trippin' and this was the soundtack of our lives. At the time it came out, TSMR was the BEST Rolling Stones record ever. Their departure from rock into psychedelica was heard as progress at the time but for the Stones themselves, the record was an artificial effort to follow/compete with the Beatles and they quickly returned to the basic blues rock sound that felt most genuine to them with Beggar's Banquet.

But as a marker along the way of the hippie emergence Sgt. Pepper and Their Satanic Magesties Request were perfect bookends.

Yeah Satanic Majesties was a bit silly for them, it cost them a lot of their rock fans and the stones had to make a rock album if they wanted that respect back (It was trend chasing, its 1967, we just have have to make a psychedelic album and upstage the Beatles in the process). The Cover was amazing if somewhat unoriginal, but songs like "Shes like a rainbow" were hardly classic Rolling Stones. Fortunately they came back with Jumpin Jack Flash and Beggars Banquet and all was happy again.

yep, that's true, and considering the reviews of that year, Between the Buttons was not well received either, even if it clearly was (at that point) their best album of all original songs (yes, even better than Aftermath in my ears). I just can't understand why strong/catchy tracks like All Sold Out, Amanda Jones, Connection, Yesterday's Papers or My Obsession were neglected by the press (and some fans) in 1967...

I'm watching a bootleg DVD of Cocksucker Blues.
