The Rolling Stones song you're thinking about right now thread

[Silent Majority]

In honor of Keith's milestone birthday... his greatest musical moments (in my opinion):

1) Gimme Shelter ... not only does he contribute the creepy, crawly, unsettling intro... he also adds the spooky backing vocals and then handles both lead and rhythm duties. It also contains a great, bluesy solo.

2) Before they Make Me Run ... I like this one better than Happy. This was Keith staring down actual hard time for his drug bust in Toronto. The song is defiant, but also humbling... the miscreant who is accepting that it might be time to slow down and clean up... but can't quite resist a final middle finger.

3) Jumpin' Jack Flash ... one of the greatest riffs ever recorded and it's played on an acoustic guitar!

4) Can't You Hear Me Knocking ... the riff that drives this track is nasty and dirty and while it sounds so simple, Keith squeezes a ton of power and emotion out of it.

5) Tumbling Dice ... for my money maybe the greatest rhythm guitar ever. It's both silky smooth and powerful... effortlessly managing the tempo, while giving the whole track a kick in the guts.

Great choices.

Probably my all time favorite Keith song right there.

Goat's Head Soup is a damned fine record. I recently picked up a copy of the original CBS CD from the early 80s and it's the best sounding version of this LP other than the original LP. The 1994 Virgin is a close second. The 1999 Universal is terrible. Compressed to the brink of death.
