Side one of Goats Head soup is one of best slices of Rock music
of all time, from the haunting and menacing Mr D, through 100 years
ago, heartbreaker, coming down again and Angie, simply amazing |
|
Black
and Blue, dismissed by Richards as junkie music and as 'the one
where we were testing out guitarists', but there are two or three
absolute gems on here in amongst it all, Ney Negrita is a killer
groove and Fool to cry melts in the mouth |
|
Exile
on Mainstreet - well its the one everyone says is the best, its
hard to argue against its depth, breadth and feel. The bands growing
musical competance and wider influences are really starting to
show through here
|
|
Satanic
Majesty's, an embarrasment or a masterpiece? Its to re-evaluate
this oft overlooked gem. You can argue that few albums captured
the headiness of 1967 better than this one, its naive, its roughly
hewen, its a rag tag of ideas, its a time capsule of its moment
and has some really good songs on it
|
|
Let
it Bleed - masterful from beginning to end, contains some of their
most enduring material. |
|
Beggars
banquet. When the stones evolved to become the stadium filling Rock
band of the 70's, actually few of the 60's pop bands made the transition
as successfully as the Stones did. MAking the terrotory their own,
the last one with Jones of course, staggering creativity |
|
Some
Girls - well Beast of Burden is my favourite all time Stones track,
arguably the last really great Stones album. It stands the test
of time well
|
|
Get
Yer Ya's Ya's out. Captures the Stones at their brilliant best
on the '69 tour of the US. Richards
is on fire, explosive riff making with some great touches form
Taylor.
|
|
The
singles - let us not forget the Stones were rivalled only by the
Beatles as the best singles band of the 60's, so many great songs.
Such a great sound. |
|
Made
in the shade. A selection of some of the best material from teh
the Mid 70's; Angie, Wild Horses, Bitch, Its only Rock'n'Roll
its all on here
|
|
Rock
and Roll circus, a time capsule form 1968, held back from release
until really recently - its a naked and revealing performance, Richards
is turning yellow and Jones is a sobbing mess, it contains some
great performances, a must see for any fan! |
|
The
Stones do Unplugged in the Mid 90's, this is great to listen to
- with some fantastic versions of the classics, with a couple of
interesting covers and obscurities thrown in. This cd rekindled
my love for the Stones and reminds you what a great live act they
are. |
|
Sticky
Fingers- - regarded as one of their best albums, from the great
phase when Mick Taylor was in the band and his musical influence
is starting to permeate the Stones sound. |
|
Tattoo
You, although a bit of a rag bag of odds and ends contains some
really enduring songs, Waiting on a friend, Start me up to name
a couple |
|
Keith's
singing and songwriting has contributed several new songs to the
bands set - more than their recent albums. "Fuck rock, lets
roll" he has been heard to have said recently. His broken soulful
voice digs deep, this is good stuff |
|
Keith
Again
|
|
This
is Mick'n'Keith with the bloke from the Mama's and Papa's. One of
the real bonuses of the digital age is that so much rare material
is coming out that we only used to dream of hearing |
|
I
have always loved this album, full of old southern style songs,
steeped in gospel country and blues. Its a soundtrack to a movie
I have not seen, but Wood and Lane is the real deal here, atmospheric,
dreamy really lovely. One of my most played albums |
|
For
many years Wyman was the unofficial stones historian, his book
is insightful and fascinating
|
|
I
guess this book is really a trashy betrayal of confidence by Keith
Richards' ex driver and fixer Tony Sanchez, its a insight into some
of their sleazier habits and behaviours, legends and rumours. The
drugs, the busts the arguments |
|
This
looks fascinating, edited by Jools with the full cooperation fo
the band, I look forward to reading this |
|
This
is a great insight into the 'human riff', the musical driving force
of the greatest rock and roll band, the outlaw the legend. 'If you
are going to kick society inthe face, you may as well do it with
both feet'. Sotry in intersperced with him awaiting trail in Montreal
for Heroin trafficking |
|
The
whole Stones career was a build up to this DVD. This is them at
their best; live, sober, and absolutely spellbinding. They have
such a huge repetoire and they really do it justice on this set
- a must if you are a big fan |
|
Everything
about Zeppelin that made them so great. Archive footage - most never
seen before and some great performances.
Led Zep were an extraordinary band, sometimes inspite of them selves
and the pomp and bullshit that went with it all. But this really
reminds you what they were all about. Something truly special! |
