Red Mosquito

Moonlight Mile is my overall fav stones song n dead flowers is second

I put knocking over Sway but they're both pretty much neck n neck there

I have I got the blues 3rd from last n its a really good song

I got the blues ~ I've got to learn how to play that proper and not shoddy like I do .

& won't drag you down
with abuse

Best to worst for me on Sticky Fingers:

Can’t You Hear Me Knocking
Bitch
Sister Morphine
Moonlight Mile
Sway
Dead Flowers
I Got the Blues
Wild Horses
Brown Sugar
You Gotta Move

Jagger on Guitar for Sway.

yeah but that song, hell the whole album, belong to Mick Taylor. I remember being super amazed with his playing and my dad always told me he was better than Keith or Ronnie.

He is not a Ronnie guy at all.

Yeah butt endlessly

Finally listened to the live sides of the Goats Head Soup box set. Pretty brilliant.

All time favorite. I went for a long run once to this album and was enjoying it nicely - finishing the run was actually Shine a Light and I weirdly got choked up. Apparently I need to listen to music while running to get its full impact.

I watched this basically conversation about the singles era Stones (‘64-‘69), which got me to listening to some of the albums in that timeframe. I really love it. Just taking these blues songs and pop songs and adding their swagger while remaining true to those songs - it works on such a great level. It might not be their heyday yet, but it’s really great to back to from time to time.

i was just in boulder colorado the other day and met up with an old friend..this came up in the conversation as a group of us from junior high and high school were there..still can't believe my parents let me go at age 15...anyway

I listened to Singles Collection: The London Years a ton one summer, it's just such a great collection of songs.

On my neighborhood walks I always pass a basketball goal that has a hand painted backboard with the Stones tongue logo. Also painted on there are the words "It's only Rock & Roll -- Stones 1974"

Never seen anyone hooping it up in that driveway but I've always wondered about that goal.

Stones rule - Exile is my favorite album of theirs. They just laid it all out there on that one. Sticky Fingers was the 1st Stones album I inherited from my dad back in '94. Mrs. Jam's favorite is Some Girls.

I love Black And Blue a bunch as well. Read in a book that BAB and LZ's Presence were recorded in the same studio in Munich back to back. Cool story there. Jimmy Page needed some extra time and Mick gave him 3 weeks but Jimmy finished everything in 3 days, if I remember correctly?

I quite like the Goat's Head Soup reissue they released last year. They've been dropping killer live stuff over the past decade that I've listened to a ton.
