Boomy Lies vs. Hide Your Love is like "Battle of the Two Worst STones Songs of All Time".

I'd pick GHS as the better album, but "Respectable"...I love that tune.
11-04-03 04:13 PM
jb Extremly tough call, but MT gives GHS the nod.
11-04-03 04:36 PM
T&A Wow, Boomy - those are two of my favorite Stones songs!

This is definitely and apples/oranges thing - might as well be two different bands. I give SG the nod - the best of a new Stones era, as opposed to GHS, which represents a sub-par effort from the previous era....
11-04-03 04:39 PM
Boomy Yeah, I shoulda put the ol' "IMO" after my quote.

Squeak yer wheels and getcha greasin', whatever cooks your goose it ok with me.

11-04-03 06:56 PM
c.k. It's weird that most of the best songs on GHS are ballads.
11-04-03 07:16 PM
Mikey Some Girls by a mile for me.
11-04-03 07:19 PM
glencar Of course. GHS was a drop-off in quality & SG was a near-return.

Trey Krimsin Some Girls vs Goats Head Soup

Oh geez! Do I really have to choose?

I love them both to death!

I guess I'll go with Some Girls, because Miss You is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Egbert Some Girls, because it doesn't have Can You Hear The Music on it.

Prodigal Son Some Girls hands down. Now, yes there are some good tunes on GHS, but it doesn't sustain the same power and creativity found on Some Girls. The rockers, though similar in sound, are great punky energy. Some Girls is like an evening album you can rock out to at parties, while GHS is like an after-hours, late night mellow thing. Ever listen to that one while on a travel bus driving through the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia at 10 PM? A holy experience, man. I did that on a band trip last year.

Just to hear "Winter" while you drive along makes me feel good to be alive. Just try it at night while driving. It was the early stuff in the morning, the psychedelic period around noon, the late 60s rock comeback in the afternoon, the early 70s glory in the evening and then the post-Exile era at night.

One of those feel-good albums, GHS is, at night. In my Stones chronological compilation, having IORR come after is uplifting too at night. It just rocks.But, on the whole, Some Girls is more pleasing to me. Not so mellow, but more snarling and angry.

Honky Tonk Man Some Girls by a whisker, but imo Tatoo You blows them both away.

Seafood restaurant gets outta hand!

Sandinista - good melting pot of an album by the way!

Most people are going for Some Girls which has the aggressive edge!

Keep discussing...

At least we don't need a vote on the artwork! Bloody hell! GHS art is REAL BAD, Some Girls art is ironic, innovative and a design classic IMO!
11-05-03 10:20 AM
Flashpoint Some Girls...because it doesn't have low points...nor even Lies as i read..that's an excellent punk song.Their most solid record since Exile
Goat's has 2 low points: CYHTM and Dancin with MR D

11-05-03 10:24 AM
Flashpoint I forgot!, in fact IORR it's better than GHS...Why?

If you can't rock me ,ATPTB, Time ...on these tunes the lead guitar is better than any on Goats...

I really love Sandinista. somebody said that it's the most adventurous album that any white band has done, and it ain't far from that for sure! Only the third LP (I have it on vinyl) drags a bit.

And Some Girls is better than GHS. SG is in my top five but GHS is 'just' a solid great Stones album like Undercover, IORR, VL and some others. Oh, and I like Can You Hear the Music!

Jumping Jack Beast
Lies
Mr. D
Star Star
Angie

Bonus Heartbreaker & Silver Train

The winner - GHS

TheSavageYoungXyzzy Boomy, c'mon, now. At least "Lies" had some energy behind it. "Hide Your Love" was a pathetic "We're still in a basement recording, really!" filler tune.

And "Back To Zero" has them both beat in terms of crap songs.

I give Some Girls the nod. Goat's Head Soup is much better than most people think, but Mr. Jimmy had run out of gas (Mickboy's remaster is reportedly excellent, though) and the wear was showing after spitting out four fantastic albums in a row. Some Girls was the great revitalization that just didn't carry like Banquet did.

Nasty Habits Some Girls. Pretty much a knockout. In the early if not the first round. For energy, humor, relevance, better songs, a way better cover, and a vastly superior drum sound.
