Rolling Stones' "Emotional Rescue" - C or D?

good piece marcello.

dance pt 1 rules

And again...http://nobilliards.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-rolling-stones-emotional-rescue.html

I like the suggestion in that article that "All About You" is really about Mick: I'd always assumed it was about Anita, or some other girl, but, whomever it's about, it's up there with "You Got The Silver" as Keith's finest ballad with the Stones.

ha I thought that Keith's ballads were all about Mick.

Dance pt. 1 is so fucking great

That moment when the girlie chorus comes in on "Where The Boys Go"=one of the fun-ist and funniest moments in their catalogue.

Also this (re: title track):

I was actually thinking about starting a thread called "Lines in songs that should get applause in concerts," because every time I hear the line "I was dreaming last night..." (the point where Mick reverts to his normal voice too), I have to resist the urge to put my hands together and applaud. It's a great moment.

otm. i've always loved this song and that moment in particular. i also love when they doubletrack the falsetto voice with his normal voice. disco stones in general are just great. for a while beast of burden was my favorite song by them, and i am a dude who had exile on main street in his car stereo for an entire summer.

This song is the 5 AM of their career. On the way home vaguely, just before sunrise and sobriety and the 80s

not that this debate is worth having anymore but i love the stones so much more than the beatles. i think it's great that they refused to bow out gracefully and preserve their myth, but kept on trucking well past the point where it became embarrassing to people and (from what i gather) motivated totally by profit because jagger and richards can't stand each other. they stayed true to their spirit, which was sleaziness, and for some reason that i don't quite understand this makes them great and i probably have more fun listening to them than any other band.

"Emotional Rescue" fully justifies the band's lingering on into the 80s all by itself.

yup, this (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^), even tho i'm no fan of the band.

man I hate this song

haha. why?

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this song

to me, emotional rescue, angie, and under my thumb stand high above any other songs by this band.

a steaming pile of shite

Love this album, hate this song.

"Summer Romance," "Where The Boys Go," "Dance Pt. 1," "Send It to Me," "She's So Cold" -- all terrific.

I'm a serious man, I got serious lusts

best song ever

otm

played the hell out of this album the past week, so great. jagger in esp great form.

great record. i still think it's better than all that boring shit they did after Exile and before Some Girls

there's so many bands that cops moves from the earlier peak stones periods - that initial run when they were brian's band and then beggars thru exile - i wish there were more bands that just blatantly ripped off that some girls thru tattoo you run. maybe you have to have been the stones for fifteen years to pull it off.

Dud. Their weakest '70s record, and a huge dip in quality in comparison to the albums immediately before and after.

i wish there were more bands that just blatantly ripped off that some girls thru tattoo you run. maybe you have to have been the stones for fifteen years to pull it off.

love Rob Sheffield's name for this 1978-1983 period: the Mall Rat Years

I fucking love "Summer Romance."

love "send it to me" so much, especially the extended version on youtube. anyone know where that was released?

ysi(to me)?

she can be ROO-MAY-NIAANN

Classique

I haven't listened to the album in forever but, the amazing title track aside, I remember being particularly amused by that one song that sounded like it belonged on the soundtrack to one of those Spring Break-style T&A comedies from the era.

Probably "Summer Romance" or "Where The Boys Go"--both of which, incidentally, are titled like 80s T&A teen comedies.

Yeah, "Where The Boys Go" is the one.

Love the snare sound on the title track

XP Seems like a blown opportunity for a movie...Mick as the head of the camp...Ronnie as the groundskeeper...Bill as the cook caught in a compromising position with a 17 year old...Charlie as the area constable...Keith as the guy who buys the kids beer...Randall Klieser directs.

Haha

Or

Keith as lord of the manor
Charlie as his irascible uncle
Bill the head butler
Ronnie as the head cook
Mick as the Kato Kaelin

Yeah, skip directly from Some Girls to Tattoo You, folks. Nothing to hear here.

^^^ you're mad.

If you love "When the Wip Comes Down" and "Respectable" and the way Chris Kimsey mixed them, then this album is bliss.

tattoo you is boring

It isn't horrible, but it is probably overrated.

they should have done more disco

^^^ agreed

'Down in a Hole' is a real good, raw and unique in subject matter.
