  1. Emotional Rescue by the Rolling Stones isn't as good as most of their previous material, IMO.

    Well, did they ever make a great album post Some Girls? Tattoo You was a brief glimmer, but that's about it. But I guess 17 years of classic albums is pretty impressive.

  2. Which line from a song do you think is the most well-known?

    I'm thinking "You can check out any time you like, but you can't ever leave" from Hotel California is one of them.

    I'm thinking that the best known lines will also be titles of songs, eg "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" or "You've lost That Loving Feeling".

    When it comes to lyrics that are not titles, that's a different kettle of fish...

  3. Well, I would say that Let It Be is just not up to the Beatles' usual high standards. But I wouldn;t in any way agree that it's a bad album. I can think of at least four classic tracks on there, and that's not even counting The Long And Winding Road. A bit of a mixed bag, but with enough meaty goodness to make most other bands green.

  4. What a week! I couldn't find a place for one of my own noms, nor for the Beatles, or Smokey Robinson:

    1. Jailbreak - AC/DC (1976)

    2. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead (1995)

    3. Hippy Hippy Shake - The Swinging Blue Jeans (1963)

    4. Pop Muzik - M (1979)

    5. Pale Blue Eyes - Velvet Underground (1969)

    6. Somebody To Love - Queen (1976)

    7. Till The End Of The Day - The Kinks (1965)

    8. Tired Of Being Alone - Al Green (1971)

    9. Panic - The Smiths (1986)

    10.First Of May - Bee Gees (1969)

  5. I go with the obvious:

    • John Bonham
    • Keith Moon (when he exercises a bit of self-control... I'll vote for "I Can See For Miles")
    • Stewart Copland
    • Charlie Watts

    The bloke from Rush is astoundingly awesome in a very wanky way.

  6. But if it IS in fact about his wife, it seems to be missing the obvious.

    Obvious, but not necessarily related to what the writer is trying to say. The important thing about my relationship with Francesca, for example, is that she is "by my side". Whether or not she is my wife is relatively unimportant to me, and more of a legal/societal matter than a personal one.

    Plus, "wife" would be a bit naff ;-)
