And then here I am. Reviewing them blind, which is not something a lot of people can say, as The Rolling Stones are such a great part of the music industry for a bit. But Mick Jagger's voice has put me off doing any type of commitment with them. In my opinion, he pushes it to territory that should not be touched by his voice. It's even gotten to the point where one of my favorite songs, "Jumpin' Jack Flash", has been replaced by the live version Leon Russell does in "The Concert for Bangladesh" by Mr. George Harrison.
And there's a good phrase in the middle of that paragraph. "In my opinion". When I'm reviewing all of these (all 185 different pieces, from music to film, and counting), it is my opinion. It is something a lot of people forget to include in reviews. What you have when you review is not fact. Music that goes into one person's ear is different from what goes into another's ear, which is why we have so many types of genres for people to enjoy. So just remember that when I'm putting down numbers on these albums and such.
So lets's start and see how long I can go.
Also if you manage to actually be reading any of this, I respect your opinion and want to hear it. If my opinion differs from your opinion and you either hate it or like it or whatever, shoot me a comment or something. I'm a nice guy and I won't yell at you.
What you're not getting here is a full history and/or stories about the song. Just what I think about them.
*Update*
Sean has just been added to the list of contributors. He'll do his things, and maybe we'll mix our things. So now there's possibly two different opinions going. While I'll stay to my ways, his ways are his ways.What I'm trying to say is welcome your new overlord.
(Single) Come On / I Want To Be Loved
Come On
(Chuck Berry)
I forgot about early singles, so let’s start backwards.
Not bad at all. Nice guitar work, and vocals are great. Definitely
a good start for The Rolling Stones.
4/5
I Want To Be Loved
(Willie Dixon)
For some reason, I can’t unhear Buddy Holly during this
song. The slight pauses, and Mr. Jagger doesn’t really push his voice, which
sounds a bit different from what we’re used to. Maybe a bit nasally? Good
B-side, but nothing too special.
3.5/5
Great single. Perfect set of songs to kick start a career.
