I think there are quite a few similarities between these two records. Both, in overall quality and style.
"Streets of Love" and "Emotional Rescue" are both the flavor of the moment attempts to get airplay at pop radio stations.
"Dance: part 1" and "Rain Fall Down" are both attempts to get into the dance craze of the moment.
"This Place is Empty" and "All About You" are nice underrated Keith Ballads.
"She's So Cold" + "Let Me Go" and "Oh No, Not you Again" and "Rough Justice" are very good but not truly great
rockers with attitude.
"Biggest Mistake" + "Indian Girl" are weak ballads.
"Back of My Hand" and "Down in the Hole" are very solid if not spectacular attempts at the blues.
"She Saw me Coming" and "Send it to Me" are both fun but lightweight songs.
"Driving Too Fast" and "Look what the Cat Dragged In" as well as "Where the Boys Go" and "Summer Romance" are harmless filler.
Which of of these two albums do you prefer? And do you see the similarities. Or,is it just me?

Emotional Rescue was bigger than disco. It is the #1 selling Stones album of all time. It is way too cool to be mentioned with ABB. The He Man Emotional Rescue Lovers Society will frown upon this thread. |

Emotional Rescue does more before 9AM that most albums do all day long. |

Good points GT. I prefer ER over ABB but that may have more to do with it being out when I first really starting getting into the Stones than anything else. I do think ER has better lyrics overall and I like the more subtle production. |

UM has definitely hit rock bottom. Coker must go. I fear the road to return to glory is going to be long and hard. The rest of the country has finally caught up to the speed of the Florida schools.
You missed a great time at Gilette. The attendance numbers were not the embarrassment that we feared - they did a good job making the stadium look full. Great tailgate before hand hosted by Nellcote et al.
The first 8 or so songs of the set list (plus Under My Thumb and You Got the Silver) where a treat, and worth the price of admission. Ronnie was on fire, Keith, unfortunately, on cruise control. After years of anticipation, Little T&A as a disappointment (need to cut the horns and back up singers). But all and all, it was a great time.

Agreed...Shalala also has made it very difficult to recruit kids who are academically challenged. We are looking at 4 yrs after we fire Coker at seasons end. And yes, I regret not going to Boston-nice setlist, despite the embarrassment that has becomne KR. Regards!!! |

Has it occurred to you that perhaps residual effects of a head injury and lack of proper recovery play SOME role in this?
I have.

I believe there was a substantial decline long before the "incident". I also agree that we will never be 100% sure exactly waht happened to Keith in Fiji(hi Fiji!!!). However, while ordinarily one woould sympathize Keith, he lost a lot of good will with me for his chronic put down of Mick, Mick Taylor, and virtually anyone who might have had, shall we say, more talent than KR on guitar. Moreover, he had the unmitigated gaul to put down Mick's "knighthood", yet, this tosser is to appear in a fucking Disney wank-off called POC3!!! The height of hypocrisy LJ!!!! |

I have a certain fondness for ER because it was released when I first became a huge fan of the Stones. I still have the news clippings about it in my house somewhere. I love the opening of ER the song itself. Send It To Me has worn out its welcome but Let Me Go & especially Summer Romance have grown nicely over the ensuing decades. HOWEVER, ABB wins this contest hands down. Better songs, better singing, better production, better playing. It's a shame that the Stones have outgrown the market... |

ER is very mediocre except for 2 or 3 songs (Dance, Down In The Hole, Where The Boys Go)
ABB is much much better. Best Stones album since Tattoo. |

ER makes me want to drink and party.
ABB makes me want to drink in misery.
ER is a blast. Fun Friday night record. Its a rush listening to it from start to finish. Fun all the way thru - from "hey Keith watcha doin..." all the way to Keith's gorgeous closing ballad
ABB I can only get thru 4 or 5 songs in their entirity. The rest make me cringe. I cant hit the skip button fast enough of that shit. |
