Fun list but the writer is nuts: "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" is a far superior song to "Satisfaction," in every way I can think of, the music and lyrics are way more interesting and mature.    IMO it's one of the Stones' best among their classic big hits, along with "Tumblin' Dice." 

I really appreciated the shout-out to "Ishtar," I thought I was the only one who recognized its good qualities.  In my opinion, and it is similar with very many comedies, it was excellent, hilarious, for the first forty minutes or so, which was all just exposition and realistic, melancholy, almost plotless (but…

Elton's best double album, maybe his best album period, is Blue Moves.  GBYR is great but BM is way better IMHO.  The one-two-three punch that opens it up, the jazzy balls-out rocker "One Horse Town," another fantastically arranged up tempo "Dirty Water," and the gorgeous  epic ballad "Tonight" are some of the…

My favorite Peanuts strips were from the early era before Snoopy ever "spoke."

I dunno, check out "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" from his Electric Arguments album a couple years back, pretty similarly heavy.  (And of course yes, he's done plenty of other terrifically hard-rocking numbers since "Come Together.")

On the contrary, I dug that Paul just did those two completely different, new current offerings and didn't choose to revert to yet another run through "Hey Jude" or "Live and Let Die" or "Get Back" etc.   The rocker with the Nirvana guys is great and sounded tighter and better here than at the big concert the other…

The Bob Newhart Show has always been my favorite all-time sitcom and is, perhaps coincidentally, also the funniest and best.  (And it has aged much better than many of its also excellent 70's contemporaries.)  Mary Tyler Moore is also in my top three or four certainly, although apparently unbeknownst to many people,…

First time I saw the Stones was one of my first concerts too, Some Girls tour in '78, and I've seen them once or more on every tour since then *except* Steel Wheels '89, and yesterday I just very insanely sprung for an astronomically priced (and I get it) single ticket to their just-added show in Brooklyn, figuring…

Wow, as a huge, near-insatiable fan of both the Stones and the Beatles, I can state that that was pretty fantastically uninteresting!

I don't know, I think you have to give Lennon more credit for the anti-religion verse, that was pretty ballsy, straightforward/honest and unprecedented for that time or any time.  (And IMHO, the probably-Yoko-inspired lyric "no hell below us, above us only sky" is just good, genuinely poetic and not at all…

To me the album's theme is sensory rather than narrative, there is a consistent aural,  and almost visual signature that binds the songs into a coherent listening experience and makes the album's whole much greater than their sum.  It's not really the "alter-ego band" part of it that is the key to the album's…
