What do you have against Sandinista?



As Joe says on the opening track - 'Fucking long, innit' ?

Nothing, except its not as good overall as London Calling - because theres too much fluff on it. The best stuff on it is however 'maaaaaaaaaaag-nificent'

see my post near the bottom of page 1 of this thread

I would say the 80s would rank right behind the 90s as the greatest ever decade for music.

None I would put in the top ten though a few individual songs might make the top thousand.

Tattoo You was solid. Still Life is one of my favorite Stones-albums. I REALLY enjoy Dirty Work. And Steel Wheels also gets a regular spin. I play all of these allot more than Exile On Main Street.

EXCEPT DIRTY WORK!!!




Yo Saint Sway. I've been considering getting 'Talk Is Cheap' ; what is it like,what is the style, is it like Keith vocal Stones songs?

I enjoy them all, just not anything earth shattering on any of those. The only 3 things they are really remembered for from the 80s are Start Me Up and 2 tours.

"Brick By Brick" was released in 1990, I believe, but what the hell, it's one of the greatest albums of the millenium anyway.
