Magic. Surprising fine tune from a band who were on a downward slide and never recovered. Their last quality album.
What say you now? This has to be a joke

When Bill mentioned that Tattoo You was his favorite Rolling Stones album, I knew for sure we were from the same tribe.
it is sooo good. i often forget about tattoo you and this song. glad william has brought it back for me today!

Is it you? really? wow!
Me neither. I think i like it more because it does sound like them at all
My thoughts exactly. Never understood the overrating of the RS. In this track (and album) they showed that even they can progress beyond adolescence.
Basically not a Stones fan, but this song is a pure genius emanation.

Not exactly a compilation of past tracks as some suspect. The album is comprised of material that was begun during the Stone's previous 4-5 albums. Most of the stuff was instrumentals and unfinished outtakes, rather than completed songs. Jagger had to write lyrics, melodies, and record vocals in order to finish the tracks. Thus, the songs were completed in their final form for the album in 1980-81, just prior to the album's release.
The master tape for Miss You and Start Me Up was done on the same day. Keith wanted to delete Start Me Up! It didn't happen! Source Keiths biography.
Good times.

You might consider checking out more of their work from the period 1971-1981. You may find that you are a fan of a specific Stones era.
One forgets not everyone was born in 1953 and grew up listening to all
the Stones "genres" come and go like presidents and prime ministers along the way. Good advice, h8rhater
Good call. I am a BIG fan of the Stones mid-60s to mid-70s, and a modest fan of the Stones outside those time frames. Like all artists of any genre, their art and subject matter changes over the years.

One of my favorite albums and yes it was compiled from a few earlier sessions if I recall correctly...
It was not my intent to put down Bjork. I will admit, though, that it might have come across that way. I saw her once at Bonnaroo and found her music to be very interesting and innovative.
Something tells me that her music goes way over the head of rdo, hence the comment.
If you liked Heaven by the Stones, you might check out the Emotional Rescue album, from the same time-frame. Or maybe the B-side of the Goats Head Soup album. Also, the song Fingerprint File from the It's Only Rock and Roll album.
I've loved Emotional Rescue from the get go, thx for the reminder

Let me start by the following confession: I know so little of the Stones' production that I was actually about to mail Bill about a wrong title to a song I didn't know, but which was, as I would have put it, "definitely NOT by the Stones". Hehe...
![{#Eek} {#Eek}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_eek.gif)
It was only by listening to said title on GooTube that I discovered that what I had indentified as an indie, low-fi-minimalistic-band-with-high-pitched-male-lead-voice of recent years actually was the *Stones*, wow!
NOW, the Stones are not my cup of tea (I'm sure they favored other kinds of drinks.) I respect them and understand fully how they were essential in pop history, but I know about five hits by them, tops.
STILL, this song sounds so incredibly *modern* (I tried to come up with something less vague, didn't, apologies for lack of vocabulary) that the last word that would come to my mind would be stuffy, and the first thing would be (pretty much) "highly innovative and experimental"
![{#Cheesygrin} {#Cheesygrin}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_cheesygrin.gif)
I'm only half-joking: I'm really stunned by how much some bands of today sound exactly like what the Stones were doing in 1981!
So I really don't agree with rdo putting down the Stones... but h8rhater's answer puts down Björk (yep, I insist, it's spelled with a so-called "diaeresis"
![{#Eek} {#Eek}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_eek.gif)
So h8rhater has every right to reply to rdo's mocking him, but not to give Björk as a bad example. Respect needs to go both ways. ...unless there's any serious grounds for denying Björk having made a worthy contribution to pop (and I don't care AT ALL that she was this hugely famous child of MTV who sold millions of albums; I only care about her music.)
Anyway: thanks guys! Now I'm tempted to listen to more stuff from that Stones album and those years to hear what else they came up with I would have qualified as "definitely NOT by the Stones !

Well naw, I'd give 'Slave' a much higher than average rating if Bill played it here.

Ten is not enough for this masterpiece.

"Plu-heeze"??
Somebody's had a little too much poutine.
I read once that many of these tracks (particularly side 2) were written back in 1974-5 era).
You are correct. Mick Taylor had been out of the band for about 6 years when this album came out, and I read where he threatened litigation against "The Glimmer Twins" for some cash compensation as he had played on several of the tracks.

I partially agree as well considering that it is two distinct sides and much is actually filler. Start Me Up is horrid but the others are quite solid. I read once that many of these tracks (particularly side 2) were written back in 1974-5 era). I believe it was a Rolling Stones themed book that credited and cited all the songs they did. My brother may have it now.

If this were a popularity contest, a contest to see which bands were the coolest and hippest (like in high school), then there is no doubt that we would crown the Stones kings of the world. They are the coolest band ever -- there is no doubt about that.
Now, when you are ready to discuss music...
This is the written equivalent of, "I know you are, but what am I?"

Well go on and put on some Bjork for yourself and quit cryin' when RP plays classics from the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of All Time.
Hipster-y pretentiousness is your right and clearly your ideal. Especially when you utter things like, "the whole 60's thing" and, "stuff I like by them is not very highly regarded by the old guard", and "I like highly innovative and experimental music".
I like to imagine the "stuffy" voice these lines would be uttered in. Maybe something like that of Thurston Howell the 3rd (although that might be too much of a "whole 60's thing" reference for you).

It is way beyond pointless to argue over which of the two best bands in rock and roll history is THE best.
Also, it is a fallacy to say that the Stones put out a lot of "crap" and "fillers" over the years. This very song might be considered a "filler" by many but is in fact a gem just like almost everything the Stones have ever done. Sure, every album ever put out has a song or two that aren't as good as the rest on the disc and the Stones might be no different (the same could be said for the Beatles). There are at least 5 or 6 rock solid tracks on every single album the Stones have ever done (including the ill fated Dirty Work disc of 1987).
Take a listen to their last album, A Bigger Bang, and you will find that nearly every track is quality. They just aren't played anywhere because radio is so fragmented nowadays AND there is this completely irrational belief (given decades of proof to the contrary) that rock music cannot be played by aging musicians. The Stones are rumored to be working on a new disc for release next year. There won't be any "filler crap" on that one either.
Today's bands shill their fresh-off-the-presses latest hits directly to commercials and no one seems to care but the Stones sold Start Me Up, 14 years after its release, to Microsoft and you cry about it. Get over it.
Ye-aah...
rdo, is that you?
"It is way beyond pointless to argue over which of the two best bands in rock and roll history is THE best."
Agreed. I just think that the Beatles put out a lot of great work in the eight or so years they were together as a studio-recorded band. The Stones have been around a lot longer. I can't recall people raving about a Stones studio album since "Tattoo You."
Pretty sure that Mick and Keith have said in interviews that they've written a lot of crap songs. I gonna give their thoughts about their work a little more weight than your notions. And my own opinion counts just as much as yours, h8rhater.
"There are at least 5 or 6 rock solid tracks on every single album the Stones have ever done (including the ill fated Dirty Work disc of 1987)."
And the other songs after those 5-6 "rock solid" tracks are...what? Firm as chalk, or perhaps a stale bran muffin? But we mustn't call them filler or crap. They're just...whatever.

Oh, and was "Dirty Work" ill-fated because there were so many great tracks on it? Was that it? Yeahmaybenot.

Gosh! Guess you've listened to all the unreleased songs already then. If you're so big a Stones fan that you can't/won't admit that they've put out some poor songs, well enjoy your happy world. Maybe you can shuffle off and help the Glimmer Twins finish the album up. Because you know what the fuck they're going to do. What they haven't done yet. What they're rumored to be doing next year.

"the Stones sold Start Me Up, 14 years after its release, to Microsoft and you cry about it. Get over it."
Crying? No. Annoyed that a good song got used to shill a lousy OS? Yes, and rightly so. Win95 was a dog. Or is Microsoft in your shit-doesn't-stink fantasyland with Mick and Keef's past, present and unfinished/not even begun songs?
I'm not sure that Bryan Ferry had much of an association with Mick Jagger after losing Jerry Hall to him.
Well...consider that the Stones didn't break up 40+ years ago. They've had more time to eke out a few hits and reinvent themselves frequently. The Beatles as a major band lasted about eight years.
You also have to remember, Stingray, that the Stones have put out a lot of crap over the years. Many albums had more filler than gems.
We could discuss which band's recordings we'd rather have on a desert isle, but fortunately I doubt any of us will have face that either/or choice. Apparently the bands liked and respected each other FWIW.
This is still an amazing song, maybe the best on the album. "Start Me Up" is OK but for me it's forever tainted as the anthem for Microsoft's ad campaign for Windows 95.

According to Wikipedia:
In early 2019, Ashcroft's managers approached Jody Klein. He connected them to the Rolling Stones' manager, Joyce Smyth, who agreed to speak to Jagger and Richards.[16] That April, ABKCO, Jagger and Richards agreed to return the "Bitter Sweet Symphony" royalties and songwriting credits to Ashcroft.[16] Ashcroft announced the agreement in May, when he received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors.[13] He said it was a "kind and magnanimous" move, and said: "I never had a personal beef with the Stones. They've always been the greatest rock and roll band in the world. It's been a fantastic development. It's life-affirming in a way."
