Ts- "Funky Jam" vs "Funky Shit"

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It's been about eight or nine years since I heard this album. I don't think I can bring myself to break the streak for this thread.

dave q's list looks good though, although "Funky Jam" and "Jailbird" need more love.

'Rocks' is better than 'Medication', so

1. Rocks
12. Everything else.

"Jailbird" is one of those 90s songs that used to be omnipresent - in..erm..the 90s - but doesn't get touched anymore.

F'kin' dire – the lot of them. And you know it.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Rolling Stones recs aren't THAT expensive

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:14 (twenty-one years ago)

bit tatty tho

I got "Exile" new a while ago, as it happens

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

so what is the Stones song that 'Jailbird' is ripping off completely? be specific now

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

No idea, maybe it isn't

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

my lp copy of exile was like $2 at a flea market. oddly enough, i was arguing only last night that its purchase didn't render gobdgu unnecessary. cry myself blind is a fantastic song.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

'Rocks' does some ripping off too ('Takin' Care of Business' by BTO comes to mind)

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Tuesday, 23 November 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

sixteen years pass...

The worst song on Sheryl Crow's 1996 album
(maybe "Love is a Good Thing")
is better than the best song on this
(maybe "Cry Myself Blind").
