As a solo artist Sinatra es 1940's - 1990's, his first album was in 1946, his first recording in 1939 but with the Harry James Orchestra

so... in short...

the Stones rules you bastards

Dylan, obviously.

Dion, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Cliff Richard have all managed it up to the 2010's. If they make any more music this decade it'll be eight.

For a band, its pretty much unheard of.

I heard it a couple a hours ago and didn't like it at all. Then I gave myself some time and tried again with a heart full of good will. It sounds even blander.

If a band with three songwriters spends years without releasing anything new and chooses Living In a Ghost Town as an opportunity to show they are still producing good stuff, well... I can only hope it's one of next album's fillers.

I totally agree with Bruno on this one.

Sounds hastily put together, both the video and the song.

I got an email from Rocks off, I marked it as spam.

You think thats bad - so did I. Grin

OK...I saw the spam email (lol) and said, "WHHHHHTF?

I have been really heavy getting stuff done for work so I said today, Friday, I would give it a proper listening to...I didn't read anything about it, I didn't read any of the posts on this thread, so some of my comments/questions may have been already stated/addressed...apologies in advance ...

I did see somewhere that this was recorded in 3 different location, including "in isolation"...now if they can do this one song that I grade as an 8.5..partially in isolation...WHERE TF is a new album?!?

Back to LIAGT...

- Was it already recorded (for the oft-mentioned new album)and its just
coincidence that the current state of the world compliments the song?
- Was it already recorded and just tweaked for the current state?
- Was it custom made for the world as we know it today?

The song sounds modern...slightly reminiscent of a few songs written since BTB, (SOM comes to mind) but still fresh. I like the change-ups, reggae/tropical beats...bluesy harmonica...the background chanting...all well done without sounding opportunistic or cheezy (ala We Are The World...)

Would have been nice if proceeds were to go to some crisis based charity but that is so hard when the entire world is affected as opposed to a particular ravaged area (ex/ Hurricane Sandy).

As I said...an 8.5 and thats a solid B for a band who's original output has been meh for the last 15 years

Let hope this provides "proof" to them that they can put together 10 songs to release...now more than ever.

EDIT:

I just read the above posts...glad Mick knows how lucky he is and that he has friends in big cities living in small apts who have no place to go and are out of work, etc...Now, can we please cancel the tour and refund our monies?

that's all...now give us an album

I hope there were will be a 12"/extended version of 'Living'. Dazza's bass is exquis'. As is all the rest, surely.

I find it one of the best of the, shall we say, latter Stones period?

I just can't toe the company line on this one guys. Sorry but it's weak.
