Wow, if it wasn't for their HIT SONGS, I don't think I'd care for THE ROLLING STONES
I guess you'd paint me a "fair-weather" Rolling Stones fan. I love the hits, but really don't like the album cuts on their early albums. Either too shit-kicking, or too blusey. I know they were a "blues band," but their hits are not blues, they're rock.
For example, this weekend I tried to seek out some album cuts from the Stones early albums, like Yesterday's Paper from "Between The Buttons," and Prodigal Son from "Beggars Banquet," and I found them unlistenable. Hard to believe its from the same band that put out Ruby Tuesday and Mother's Little Helper. Maybe I just listened to "the wrong songs." Are there any album cuts that you could recommend that aren't "hillbilly" or "slow blues numbers?" |

I don't even like their hits. For some reason, I've never been able to stand the Rolling Stones. Not a bit.

I don't know how people can't love the Stones. Their output from 68-72' is one of the best runs in Rock History.
I love the Stones but even if you're only a casual fan 'Beggars Banquet', 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile on Main St.' are must owns. |

Wow - no mention of Out of Time from Aftermath? That's one cool album track (heard it for the first time while watching the movie "Coming Home").

Out of Time was released as a single in 1975 (albeit the shorter demo version from Metamorphosis but still).

I think you're wrong about that. There's no listing for this song as a single release - a cover by Chris Farlowe was, but not by the Stones.
Released in June 1975, Metamorphosis came out the same day as the band's authorized hits collection Made in the Shade and was also seen to be cashing in on The Rolling Stones' summer Tour of the Americas. While the critical reaction was lukewarm (many felt some of the songs were best left unreleased), Metamorphosis still managed to reach #8 in the US, though it only made #45 in the UK. Two singles, "Out of Time" (featuring Jagger singing over the same backing track used for Chris Farlowe's 1966 version) and a cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why" briefly made the singles charts. "Out of Time" – 3:22 It then appeared on the 1975 ABKCO compilation album Metamorphosis. This version was, in fact, the backing track from the Chris Farlowe version, only with a Mick Jagger lead vocal. It was also released as a single, reaching #45 in the UK. |

I like The Rolling Stones but I'm really only a casual fan. The only albums I own are the essentials (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Steet, Sticky Fingers) plus A Bigger Bang.

I dont like the Stones mostly because I don't like the way their music sounds.
Is this becoming a support group? :lol: The list of songs I enjoy from the Stones begins and ends with Paint it Black. Any other tune comes on the radio, the station gets changed. |

I agree with that list. I would add Voodoo Lounge. That really is a masterpiece.

The only two songs I don't care for on VL are the Keith Richards tunes. The Worst lives up to its name IMO. The LP tracks on BnB are much better than the singles released, Hot Stuff and Fool to Cry.

If you want a good taste of classic era rolling stones, I would buy The Singles Collection: The London Years. All of the classic singles, and some awesome B-sides.
http://www.amazon.com/Singles-Collec...7525047&sr=1-2 I actually own all of the Rolling Stones CDs except Metamorphosis. If I could only keep one, this is the one I would keep. A better overview of everything through Beggar's Banquet than Hot Rocks. Also, I believe that the songs that are supposed to be in mono are in mono which is different from the other releases |
