Title: Three best songs from Emotional Rescue
Post by andrews27 on May 21^st, 2008 at 8:23pm

In this order:

Emotional Rescue
All About You
Down in the Hole

The era-defining single gets preference. Also - Honourable Mention to Indian Girl.

Better stuff like "Think I'm Going Mad" (correct?) and "We Had It All" was left off. They could have replaced junk like the abysmal "Send her to me" and the awful "Where the Boys Go," a badly produced song that makes them sound like silly old farts. Imagine them doing it live now? It's just as bad on the album.

Great album actually.

my order:

emotional rescue
INDIAN GIRL
down in the hole/she's so cold (tie)

i agree with andrew about think i'm going mad or we had it all ...
those two songs could have made it a true classic..
it's still a special lp to me because it was my first new stones album....

all about you
down in the hole
send it to me

I think this is their most intriguing cover though. Most of the "heat Treatment" pictures are actually made up of dozens of pictures of them, the beatles, dylan etc. in outline form

Down in the Hole
All About You

I covered Down in the Hole with a friend of mine last year at some concert, just two accoustic guitars... We made i last something like 6 or 7 minutes. It just sounded great.

All About You is the only keeper from that record. Everything else is a borefest.

ER was the 1st "new" record of the Stones i bought, and i was bitterly disappointed. flat production. Nothing songs. Jagger trying to be too many people. I think NME summed it up best "The Stones are in a Malaise". To me, what was left off was what was treasure.

But...

Down in the hole - Great song. Cutting lyrics. Marred only by a "supposed" cutting, free form guitar that was rather wimpy (distortion please!!!)
Let me go - Driving, cool, 2 chord song that is marred by a lacklustre, so out of its era solo, thats its scary
She'e so cold - Again, cool song, cool riff, marred by a solo that is not a solo. DISTORTION PLEASE!!!! Rock it up! What is wrong with you guys?

I will say "Where the boys go" had promise. But it's kinda "Hang fire pt 1" - And Jagger on the dole is a fucking stupid thought. Just like his "accent" on this song. Instead of sounding like punk, he sound like Dennis Waterman!

"Hey Arfa! Wanna pint wiff Dave? You owe me a monkey. Then where we go, guv'na? Where the boys all go? Cor blimey, dont let the girls know! Know what i mean? Blimey, me guts have got a hole in it. Bleeding oath, it has. Oi! Some dead horse for me sausage, me Mucka".

Thoughts on this album

ER should NEVER have been 1st single. They really failed with this. She's so cold should have been 1st.
The beginning, sadly not the end, of a Keith dirge song.
Indian Girl is the worst/funniest song except for 90% of the Dirty Work album.

P.S. Dead horse is slang for sauce. Yanks call tomato sauce "Ketchup" - because they are retarded. And they also drive on the wrong side of the road just to prove they are soooooooooooooooo rebellious against the British.
