Stones rule - Exile is my favorite album of theirs. They just laid it all out there on that one. Sticky Fingers was the 1st Stones album I inherited from my dad back in '94. Mrs. Jam's favorite is Some Girls.

I love Black And Blue a bunch as well. Read in a book that BAB and LZ's Presence were recorded in the same studio in Munich back to back. Cool story there. Jimmy Page needed some extra time and Mick gave him 3 weeks but Jimmy finished everything in 3 days, if I remember correctly?

I quite like the Goat's Head Soup reissue they released last year. They've been dropping killer live stuff over the past decade that I've listened to a ton.

Select Album Rankings:

Exile On Main St.
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Beggar's Banquet
London Years
Some Girls
Black And Blue
Goat's Head Soup
It's Only Rock & Roll


They are fantastic. I find it hard to rank their albums mostly because I almost think of them in incomparable sections: the singles years from 1964-66, Aftermath through Their Satanic Majesties Request which seems like their early original albums period, Beggars Banquet through Tattoo You their prime, and then the rest sort of the legacy years. There’s probably subcategories to dive up in there as well, but I guess that is what happens when the band itself is nearly 60 years old.

My sister turned me onto the Keith Richards covid barometer meme.

But this post isn't about that.

It's about listen to this

There’s a reissue of Tattoo You coming in October. That should be good.

“I don’t like drum solos,” he once said. “I admire some people that do them, but generally I prefer drummers playing with the band. The challenge with rock’n’roll is the regularity of it. My thing is to make it a dance sound – it should swing and bounce.”

1998, my 14 years old version of me got to see Bridges To Babylon tour...i went there alone, which in retrospective was insane.

Charlie did an amazing show...at one point the stones went to a smaller stage in the middle of the fucking stadium...Watts walking like it was his fucking lounge...he killed it. I saw those guys so fucking close...ill never forget it.

What a fucking huge loss.

The perfect drummer for the Stones. He will be missed. I am sure I will tear up listening to the Stones later today.

Really sad about this - he really was a great drummer for them, ever present and never in the way of all those big personalities, riffs and hooks.

local mpr station is playing 5 hours of stones starting now, if you're into that sort of tribute

https://www.thecurrent.org/listen

as said above, watts was the perfect fit for the band, and the epitome of cool. weirdly, 80 seems too young to go for any of these guys.

This freaks me out a little because I pretty much just said the same thing describing his drumming to a detractor.

He is basically playing simple rock & roll but his drumming is somehow never boring. He had a swing that was rare. That's also why they were good at dabbling in disco. That shit makes me wanna dance.

Emotional Rescue might be a top 5 Charlie moment for me.

Its a magical dance of playing loose and keeping it tight at the same time.

Exactly. Their disco-styled songs are a perfect example because the framework is a rigid four to the floor. But he swings loosely throughout the framework and it somehow makes you wanna dance more than traditional dance music does.

And he did it live, he played hard and really just perfectly.

I listened to a recording of Memphis '78 when I heard the news, Charlie is pretty up in the mix and he just sounds fantastic.
