Music Banter - Unpopular Music Opinions

I agree that Exile goes on too long. A double album that would have been much better whittled down to one. I could do without half the songs on Exile.

:laughing: I love Exile's murky sound and general air of mystery, though; and half of its songs are great.

Early Stones could be cool but they just had no bite and no real creativity. They just had some decent songwriting for lamewads.

Of course Mick Jagger is a dick wad and the Stones aged badly when you use the teenager criterium of how dangerous your parents think they are. But they just really groove, turning on a song of theirs is like a swaggering beast or machine that comes alive. That's unassailable.

And since I'm in this thread, "Sandinista!" by The Clash is a single album's worth of exciting, memorable songs surrounded by two albums of boring, forgettable filler.

Like The Beatles should've whittled the "White" album down to a single LP, The Clash should've whittled "Sandinista!" down to a single LP. As it is, 2/3 of the album is a tedious snooze-fest.
