GHS is my personal favorite Stones album. While it is certainly not a commercial album, and I know others are better in terms of power singles and structured better and all that, but this album always had a special place with me.
Black and Blue is my least favorite and I feel it is mediocre over all while there are some that love it to death.
All a matter of personal choice I suppose.

BTW, I love Gomper. And most of Dirty Work. In my opinion, the Stones haven't put out a single bad album.

They are, although the wide appeal of SMU has always baffled me.
It ticks a lot of the right boxes - great riff, superbly recorded (Tattoo You is the best SOUNDING Stones record ever IMO), but as a song it's never struck me as more than "OK". One of the weaker songs on a great album.
'Miss You' was a terrific record. I still love the original. However, it ceased to be listenable live after 1982. The versions on the BTB and ABB tours were the absolute nadir and the ultimate waste-of-time piss-break of any Stones shows I've ever seen. (it wasnt that bad on the few versions played on 'Licks' though)
Theyre probably the two Stones songs that I wouldnt care to see performed live ever again - even though I did hear a few good SMU's this summer.

The version of Miss You on the BTB DVD is one of my favorite Stones performances actually.

The only Stones studio album I genuinely dislike is Satanic Majesties, and thats mainly because its them trying to be something that they weren't. It just sounds forced, phoney and unnatural. Even so, there are still some songs on it that I like.
A "bad Stones album" is still better than a "good" album by almost anyone else.

Was that the tour where the band took a cigarette break while Mick licked Lisa's toes? That was funny once or twice, but as the tour progressed that schtick seemed to go on forever. Some versions were clocking in at around 13 minutes or so. It was interminable.

i dont agree with Miss You from St louis 98, that is true entertainment.
with regards to SMU - i know what u mean in that its quite disposable as a song, but the lyrics are excellent

100 Years Ago for sure, although I think it should be a warhorse. Citadel, which I can understand people not liking simply because of the album it's on, is one their best riffs and I can never understand why it doesn't get more props. My Stones guilty pleasures: Tie You Up. Send It To Me, Might As Well Get Juiced, She Saw Me Coming, Everything Is Turning To Gold.

Pretty much everything! She Was Hot is actually in my top ten Stones songs, I love Too Much Blood, One Hit to the Body and Fight from the lesser loves period. Every track on Steel Wheels (people don't like Hold on to your hat!), Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon except Might As Well Get Juiced, the new songs from Forty Licks (Keys to your love I ADORE, A Bigger Bang is a great album IMO. So there you go, I like the later stuffas much as the 60s stuff. And to the original poster, 100 years ago is a great track.

-amen to that-. Even their mediocre songs and albums are mediocre by "Rolling Stones standards".
Which.... is an extermely high standard. Other bands are not always expected to put out anything within a real close margin of The Stones.
Let's agree to this>The Stones are ALWAYS under a microscope and are EXPECTED to put out at least "good" material and "The Rolling Stones standard" I speak of is taken into consideration. So they are always expected to bring us quality, real material that kicks of a certain standard. As far as basically all other bands they aren't "expected of" like the Stones are.

"Through the lonely nights"
Songs on "betwween the buttons"
3 K. Richards songs on BTB.
And "Continental drift": i expect an album in this style of music, not inevitabily experimental, but a mix with primals songs and new technologies.
They can create the rock/blues of the 21th century, only the R. Stones can do that.
I am waiting.

I've found in my life, there's a lot of people who like the Stones music, but don't like them, a lot of people I've met like that, there's the old "they got to be the ugliest band in the world" saying from people, a lot of people are turned off by Mick, & so on, the Stones are the original rebellious rock band, & still are to this day.

There's lot....I like a lot of the "unpopular" songs/albums because I never hear them on the radio or at parties all the time. Obviously I love JJF, BS, SFTD etc, but I hardly listen to them on my own.
I like TSMR...but I love 2ooo Man & Citadel.
A lot of Buttons, especially Miss Amanda Jones, Yesterdays Papers, Something Happened To Me Yesterday, Backstreet Girl
GHS is really great...especially Dancing With Mr. D, Coming Down Again, 100 Years Ago and Winter.
Black & Blue doesn't kill me, but can't argue with Memory Motel and Hand Of Fate
Dirty Work is underrated....One Hit, Fight, and Sleep Tonight are particular favorites
Voodoo Lounge is real good.....in particular New Faces and Thru and Thru
A few stray tracks.......
A lot of the 66-67 stuff...but Sittin On A Fence, We Love You
Monkey Man (until the Voodoo tour, this one was fairly obscure)
Moonlight Mile & Sway
Child Of The Moon
Sweet Black Angel
When The Whip Comes Down (Sucking in the 70's live version)
Before They Make Me Run
Undercover and Too Much Blood (not killed on the whole Undercover album too much though)
Emotional Rescue (love the groove)
Dance Pt 1 and If I Was A Dancer (see above reasoning)
Jump On Top Of Me
Time Waits For No One (Taylor's amazing guitar work)
Losing My Touch (one of my fave Keith tracks)
Speaking of which.....Talk Is Cheap!!!!! With special mention of Locked Away......
Sorry this is so long...but there is a lot of stuff to cover....and I am sure that I am forgetting a lot of it!!!!
