It's hard to say who's more out of touch these days - Marty or Mick. ...Do the Stones really have a song called Sweet Neocon? That sounds just awful...MBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416871549267093586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960999813908144131.post-41061702623367380202008-07-12T10:05:00.000-07:002008-07-12T10:05:00.000-07:00What was so great about the Stones in this period ...What was so great about the Stones in this period (and the "ruffles and green velvet trousers" period that preceded it) was that it truly seemed (and sounded) like they were living what they were singing about. That's one of the reasons — in addition to obvious things like the killer playing and organic production — why albums like Sticky Fingers still hold up so well.<BR/><BR/>But from Undercover on, it's just seemed like they've been going through the motions, cranking shit out for the sake of cranking shit out — and when they (or rather, Mick) try to be "topical," it's just really fucking embarrassing. (I mean, "Sweet NeoCon"? WTF? Give me "Sweet Virginia any day.) Maybe Keith can get a good song out of falling out of that coconut tree...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you singled out "Sway" for a mention; to my mind, that is one of THE greatest and most underrated songs in the entire Stones catalog. It's all decadent bad vibes from the opening riff onward, Mick sounds like he hasn't bathed in a week (other than perhaps in the blood of virgins), and the way those strings kick in towards the end is pure evil genius."Brown Sugar" seems like Disney's Jungle Cruise by comparison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
