[Music] Name one better.

[boik]

In my last years at Balfour Primary, the main playground arguments were Beatles v Stones and Heinz Beans v HP Baked Beans.

And that's why I've never fitted in. I preferred early Floyd and Cross & Blackwell beans.

Watching BBC2, Rolling Stones night and Loving Cup is on.

Name a better Album than Exile on Main Street.

Absolute Nectar for the ears and the soul

Please, if you don't know it,Spotify it first before you suggest a spice girls album.

Sticky fingers.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

OK, I have just taken a listen to exile on Main Street. For the benefit of [MENTION=37530]monty uk[/MENTION] if nobody else:

0:00 Rocks Off. Honkytonk piano. Horrible vocals. Repetitive dirge. Pub rock with an expensive brass section.
4:32 Rip This Joint. Honkytonk piano. Put your thumbs in your levi belt loops and boogie. Fake American accent. Dreadful shouty singing. Pub rock with an expensive brass section.
6:55 Shake Your Hips. ZZ Top ripped off the start of this for La Grange (released a year after Exile)! But unlike La Grange, nothing much happens here. Weedy tinny guitar solo. Monotonous whiney vocals. Goes on far too long.
9:55 Casino Boogie. Slow and dirgy. More horrible nasal vocals. Christ, Jagger is a shit singer. Pub rock again.
13:28 Tumbling Dice. Slow and dirgy. Bit of a tune here….horrible nasal whiney vocals. Big production with what sounds like a full gospel choir on backing vocals. Thirty seconds of this is enough. Dull, dull dull.
Side two
17:15 Sweet Virginia. Country honky tonk. And in comes the nasal whiney vocals. Dreadful.
21:42 Torn and Frayed. Shapeless country rock with more nasal whine vocals. Tuneless dirge.
26:01 Sweet Black Angel. I think the nasal vocals sung in a shitty fake American accent is what really kills the group for me. That and the incredibly dull instrumentation. Sounds like a very dated lyric….
28:58 Loving Cup. Shouty annoying vocals. Dull music

So, I don't like Jagger's voice. The songs are dull. The musicality is pedestrian. I shall happily jog on.

For me, there are plenty of better British LPs including (but not limited to) All Mod Cons, Abbey Road, London Calling, Stanley Road and Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy

Harsh, but fair

I do think as a backing band The stones can play blues with some soul and have hit the nail squarely on thhe head numerous times.

I really don't get Jagger though. Not even the best singer in the band.

Harsh, very harsh, love the sounds dated bit. Should do it is 50 years old.

Quite.

I can see why the Beeb didn't offer you Bob's seat when he left the Whistle Test.

I'd have had the New Your Dolls back on before you could say 'Johnny, have you seen my heroin?'
