No 90’s music this time even I really debated what I should write about so this time around I went a little further back in time to 1981. the year before I was born. I’ve always seen this album around in record shops and Classic Rock radio stations but I never cared to look at it.
Nothing against the Stones, I just figured that any worth listening to, I had already heard on the radio. But I’ve recently taken a deeper look at their catalog after seeing The Darjeeling Limited and hearing the song “Play with Fire” playing during the movie and I am shocked at how much material of the stones people don’t even know.
After some searching, I found this album with great songs that I can blow out the speakers to, while driving down the road at 100 MPH. Most of the people who hear me blasting this album out of the car ask me “who is that? I really like that”. To their surprise I tell them it’s The Rolling Stones.
“Start Me Up” is a good song that I’ve heard a million and half times, so I didn’t really feel too strong for this song when I was heard it on this album almost thought it was a greatest hits(Partly because it was in all those Windows commercials back in the 90’s). “Little T&A” really got me with the Sexy lyrics and the beat kept me going for a while after listening to it 5 times in a row (I don’t care if the song isn’t P.C., but frankly I don’t give a shit it’s a good song). “Tops” has a great chorus that I don’t care if anyone sees or hears me sing in the car, good stuff and I don’t care if you like it or not. “No Use Crying” made me think of some old Cholo jams, with that bass line and harmonizing at the beginning of the song almost like James Brown’s “Please, Please, Please” there’s allot of soul in this song.
This album ends well with “Waiting on a Friend”. Almost like this is the point where everything changes for them, and that the style of this song is similar to what will happen in the 80’s to rock music, great stuff anyways.
