His voice has came along way since the beginning of his career. In his old age, it has greatly improved, it is more distinct, more Mick. Jagger's voice is so much better live then they make it out to be in the studio. |

Agreed...but I accept it as compared to the guitar light duo, he still puts on a great show.

My thoughts are this :
I absolutley love listening to boots from the '81 Tour . Whenever I hear anything off of " Hampton '81 " I get that " The Party has just Started " feeling . Indeed , I hear barkers and see colored balloons falling down all around me ...

1981 the zenith???
Post '89 his best work???
WRONG!
'81 was horrible -- he didn't sing at all -- he grunted the entire tour.
'89 to present -- no Jagbonics -- you can understand every word. What the fuck is that?
Best time for Mick vocally - 1967-1978

lol...
i was thinking about jagger's voice last week when i was listening to think i'm going mad...
listen to his voice on that song, and then try to think of anything after that where he had that voice..(maybe no use in crying)
that was different mick...
just listen to it -
it sounds like he's really depressed in the song, but it sounds real and full of sadness...
it made ME sad that we'll never hear that voice again....
what happened?

I like his coockney accent of the 60´s(Gimme Shelter-The Movie).In 72 he was on coke but was singing very well and screaming in tune.By 75/76 he was in his worst period.Street Fighting Man in knewborth was terrible,the guy was snorting a lot of snow.In 78 he was in transition,sometimes like 76 and sometimes like 81 but i like that style, he was raw.In 81/82 he got best equipament and began to communicate with the crowd like a crooner with great audience and his vocals were strong but rough.I love it anyway,that was the chemistry of the Stones.They were dirty!!
Nowadays he´s singing better than ever technically but sometimes he lacks of soul in his performance. |

Mick was at his best in the studio at least from 1968-81. Live? Not the expert on this but he sounded pretty lame in the mid-70s whereas in the late 60s-early 70s, he was the Mick we all have come to love. After that, he was still good. But his overenunciation since 1989 has been a bit annoying to me. What has really dropped off are his lyrics. My god, starting with his solo stuff in the mid-80s he has written some dumb, dumb lyrics. Undercover and Emotional Rescue had some of those problems. With his scintillatingly sardonic and witty lyrics from Some Girls, who could tell what his around the corner?

Some of you are very critical, aren't you? MICK has always been the very best front man and lead singer in the rock world through the past 5 decades, and MICK still continues to perform amazingly well!! MICK will ALWAYS be TOPS!!! So stop saying he's a has-been, because he isn't!!! MICK JAGGER RULES the ROCK & ROLL WORLD! No one else can come close, no one can touch him, no one is worthy to kiss his ass, no one commands the stage like MICK, no one in the world!! OK, you got that straight? Good! |

Nice post, Bitch, but sadly, it won't sink in. I think some of these people are stuck in the past. See the ABB thread. |

"Some of you are very critical, aren't you? MICK has always been the very best front man and lead singer in the rock world through the past 5 decades"
not true! look at the stuff from the 1960s - he was shit! he only really became 'mick' in the 1970s. There are far more accomplished rock singers than mick. he just happens to be your fave! However as a combination he is the best at what he does. That doesn't preclude him being as has-been tho. he is a has-been they all are. otherwise they'd be popular outside of the elitist world of high-priced touring and write some more decent music more often.
being sycophantic is as bad as being overly critical.

100% correct Oldkr(bkrront)...Mick is , imo, the best ever..but he has not wriiten a good song since BBR, and his solo efforts have sucked....his voice lost it's great Stonsey snarl it last had in 81....while he may sing actually better now, it is sterile, too clear, and fake at times. |

The only time he was flat in 81 was on satisfaction. Otherwise, I think he sounded pretty good. How on earth anyone can say he sounded great in 89 is beyond me. I think it was his worst tour ever. |

100% correct..1989 was a great set-list, but the beginning of the mordern day Vegas Stones..Jaggers vocals and hair were awful....Keith and Ronnie, did, however, play well. |

those Japanese guitars they played on a lot of songs on the 89 tour sucked big time. Sounded too clean - thin and weak.
when Keith would switch back to the Tele he sounded dirty again. |

Guitar tones in 89/90 (live) were the worst ever. When I listen to IORR from that tour I get the taste of flat, warm Diet Coke in my mouth. As for Mick's vocals, today he's more predictable (not always a negative thing), for example he isn't all over the place, and while he doesn't replicate the rawness of say JMI in 78 he can still pull off a THSMLI every now and then. |

"spending summer days lying on the ridge, watching girls in cotton dresses diving off the bridge."
I dont know, but that lyric slays me. From Goddess CD.
I think his voice (and body) has never been stronger--could be with the way they now schedule shows --never back to back. When he wants to reach and scat, there is no front man I know of who can pull it off so effortlessly, and funkified, for a skinny white boy. |

that's the thing! i love his voice on that song...it's real and full of emotion.
it sucks that song wasn't on a stones cd because more people would know it, but it kind of got overlooked and lost...
too far gone IS a great jagger vocal because it SOUNDS like the old mick from the 60s and 70s...when i first heard it, it was like,
'THAT'S the mick i love..'
this song proves he hasn't lost that edge and grittiness -
but that's only one example and they're far and few between..
onnya from abb?
out of focus from WS?

I don't think he could sing like in the 70's. Studio or live,at the age of 63 he would just fuck his voice after 1 song .
Think Let it loose.
On the other hand,his voice is in great shape compared to Daltrey,Dylan,Macca,just about any of his peers.
