270 - Rolling Stones - Some Girls

[csberry]

Mick Jagger personifies slithering seduction on Some Girls. He oozes sexuality, demands what he wants, and demonstrates a smooth charm through it all.

"Miss You" and "Shattered" are great examples of how a legacy musical act that retain their style and incorporate contemporary sounds to their songs to provide a new vitality to the music.

The over the top country satire of "Far Away Eyes" cracks the jokes in However, I just can't decide what I think of their swamp-hole, honky tonk take on "Just My Imagination." It is ragged and sounds just like Wilco and their ilk. But something about it kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

Songs I knew I liked: "Miss You" and "Beast of Burden"

Songs I didn't know but now like: "When the Whip Comes Down," "Some Girls," and "Shattered"

Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: "Just My Imagination"
