i dont make lists in advance for these things. now, i'm mad i didnt cuz this would have been 1.01 for my horror-movie forgotten diner jukebox. age is all it's cracked up to be,, i mean, it's in the rack next to my desk. i dont like being angry w myself - i usually save that for y'all. great pick
i didnt think much of this backinaday, but i really hate it now, altho i appreciate it like 1000x more. i mean, this is the Rosetta Stone for faded chick singing, right? and that's all there is anymore (not counting Idolbombers), so much so that, when a friend linked me to some Phoebe Bridgers a few weeks ago, i was actually surprised when she went full voice 3rd song in. is dis da source a dat?
I grew up during the Vietnam war years in a military town. The Selective Service System was suspended 10 months before my 18th birthday (though they hadn't called anyone for a couple of years prior).
Sonny Rollins played the saxophone solo that added so much to this tune. Rollins and The Beatles both covered "Til There Was You" from The Music Man.
i hung out w Nicky & friends (including most Stones but Mick) when one of my bands opened for Martha Reeves during a week-long showcase gig supporting her first solo album. he was digging being the bandleader (he had high-priced gunslinger producer Richard Perry's proxy on'is) for a change but, in downtime, very George-like - quiet, sardonic, smarter than he wanted you to think he was.We can post now, right? Sun's up on the East Coast?
16th Round – The Rolling Stones – Waiting on a Friend (1981)
I am so excited to get this as my bonus 1981 pick. I had pegged this as a top 1981 pick for me, but then decided to check @Dr. Octopus’s list and choose whichever Tattoo You song he had ranked highest. As it turned out, it was this one that I wanted to begin with, which he had at #29!So this is dedicated to DocOc and his excellent taste.
There are so many connections between the Rolling Stones and the Beatles that it seems silly to mention them. Everyone knows that the Beatles “donated” to the Stones what became their first hit single, “I Wanna Be Your Man.”
Many here would know about The Dirty Mac, the group formed by John along with Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Richards, which recorded a version of “Yer Blues” for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
Ronnie Wood and George wrote "Far East Man" together and put versions of it on each of their own albums.
George appeared on Bill Wyman's band The Rhythm Kings's album Double Bill.
Then we get to Nicky Hopkins, who played piano on this track. He played electric piano on the Beatles’s “Revolution.” He played piano on the Jackie Lomax song, “Sour Milk Sea,” written by George and recorded with George, Paul and Ringo. He played on John’s Imagine and Walls and Bridges albums. He played on George’s Living in a Material World album. He played on Ringo’s Ringo and Goodnight Vienna albums. And he played on Paul’s Flowers in the Dirt album. It seems everyone liked Nicky Hopkins.
I will also take the b-side here, Little T & A, since the good doctor ranked it #123 on his list.
Charlie joked (or more likely seriously believed) to Mick that Rollins would never agree to play on a Rolling Stones record but Mick turned out to be right.
This uses a drum sample that's legendary in the hip hop world. I can hear the drum break and know it. That's what this project has gotten me. Can you hear the [redacted] break? Or is that [redacted] drummer? Yeah, man, I can hear it.
Invisible Sun is my favorite Police song depending on what day it is. And Shambelle is awesome -- it's on their box set.
This trio in particular aren’t thrilled with my last pick. My 1990 and 1991 picks better be strong to fit between these guys.
Mickey's voice sounds good live. His jumpsuit reminds me of a jumpsuit my grandfather would wear when he'd work on his cars.
i havent gone a week since i got a computer (2002) without losing a tear that Hicks didn't get to comment on this century. he & Amy Winehouse will have currency long after the "important" people of this era are forgotten.god bless Bill Hicks ...
...perfect. Did you read the comments?
I really love this pick. Feels out of the blue, yet perfect. Just chiming in. Love both of these songs unfailingly.
I'd like to like this twice for each part of the og track and again for the Cube classic. Phenomenal pairing here.
I just heard this on the radio today -- and the DJ was explaining how it was a cover of something by an obscure band.
I left you the most classic sample from 1993 considering I think you like that collective better than I do.
