Oooh. Greatest what — muddy sound with Muddy Waters? Guys singing and playing off key greatly? Perhaps they were too intoxistoned to sound as great as they coulda shoulda. I had that album for half a day, listened twice, and took it back to the record store for an exchange and the store manager agreed with me. Pearls before swine? Were those pearls costume jewelry?

I've always been so mixed on the Stones. Certainly a seminal group — but uneven. Brilliant streaks and then — junk. Jagger couldn't sing on key or in range — but at times he was transcendent. Richards was over-rated — but at times was good as it could get. The pre-1978 Stones had more classics than anyone but the Beatles — but some of that Satanic Majesty Let It Bleed etc. filler is barely listenable. A band that sustained its name in concerts — but Love It Live was one of the worst live recordings I've ever heard. Great and trash, all in the same dudes.

Sez you Hannio... When I begin my long decline, I hope I do it with sold out tours worldwide over a period of nearly 40 years.  A Bigger Bang was a fantastic CD and the tour was incredible.  Can't wait for the next one which, I hear, is coming soon.

 
May it be unto you according to your heart's desire.  But just because they have entered mainstream popularity and maintained it for so long (while impressive in its own right) doesn't change the fact that there was a time when their creative energies peaked, just like every other band that has ever existed. Exactly when is certainly subject to debate, but IMHO it was a long time ago.

fitting as this song follows Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony
as the royalties from that hit became a lil pot o gold for the Stones

Either you are a super-fan or dunno much about music!

Musically it was CERTAINLY and MOST DEFINITELY
their weakest work - totally under the influence of
LUCY IN THE SKY with tons of DIAMONDS.

Nevertheless - I kinda liked the album too
(under the influence especially).

But a good (!) album sounds very different!

Wow!  I had never noticed the Fabs in this cover, even though the whole thing was such a blatant rip-off of Sgt. Pepper's that The Stones should be forever embarrassed (in both musical content and packaging).  Thanks for pointing that out.  I still NEVER play this album, but I've still got it (for some reason) sitting in a crate of old LP's.

I guess in their defense, Mick & Keef were fighting a slew of legal charges in '67 while everybody else was just enjoying all the fancy colors.  I'd be curious to know the whole story behind this cover and just how much input Mick & The Boys had vs. their record company in throwing this P.O.S. together...

Really, the only tune on Some Girls which could be called "disco" was "Miss You".

It's nowhere near that simple.  For one thing it has nothing to do with this song.

I like lots of Stones songs, but they don't usually get played here.  Of the ones that do get played, I like this one the best; it's a 6 for me.  Whatever.

Ccorrect. If you find a copy of "The Last Time" by Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra, "the hook" is unmistakable; the whole song is 'the hook' repeated over and over. Verve definitely stole it... made a wonderful song from it, but stole it nonetheless
