Avis sur le produitEngland's Newest Hit Makers: the Rolling Stones by Rolling Stones (CD, 2002)

Stones Debut Shows Their Roots

The Rolling Stones debut album isn't flashy, it isn't heavy, but it's cool. I enjoyed hearing this because they show us what influenced them and what they were comfortable playing when they were first formed, which is mainly blues. It's also cool to compare what they did on this album, and the next, and so on and watch how they've grown as a band. A lot of their earlier albums are a lot like this one, covering their blues favorites and mixing in an original or two.

Highlights of the album are Not Fade Away, Route 66 (sound familiar? well if you have a kid and he made you buy Disney's Cars, it's in that movie, just not by the Stones), I Just Want To Make Love To You (sound familiar again? Foghat remade this one), Walking The Dog (Aerosmith remade this one on their debut album, I don't know who originally did this one, I know the Yardbirds did it also), and Chuck Berry's Carol. Actually there are no highlights on this album. No low points either. They're all equally good, I just pointed out some of the most heard of tunes on the album.

Die hard fans will love this album, but I think most casual fans will too (even though a lot of the songs are similar), just because the songs are pretty good and it shows where the Stones came from, and what they were comfortable with at the time. Plus there are songs that have been redone and they're obviously different from the remake. That's always kind of cool to compare.Lire l'avis complet...

Surprisingly Good

This is surprisingly good. The Chuck Berry and blues influences are strong here. It's hard to sit still while listening to these songs, especially "Walking the Dog." The evolution of The Stones is fascinating, and this first Stones album is already more mature than any of The Beatles early albums. Nothing silly here.Lire l'avis complet...

Jagger and company's first effort

This is the Stones' first album, and it highlights their R&B roots. Every real fan of the band should give it a listen; bought it back in high school (vinyl) and wore it out. Loved it ever since and was tickled to find it on CD.

As the Stones' popularity increased, the quality of their offerings decreased in my opinion. But there were notable exceptions: Sympathy for the Devil; Dead Flowers; You Can't Always Get What You Want, etc. But a lot of the other stuff sounded as though they were going through the motions (remember, this is one man's opinion). To be fair I must say that there has been no band consistently excellent and creative, not even the Beatles; they put out some schlock also. Such is the nature of any creative endeavor.

Anyway, it is a great album that any real fan of the group should listen to and see how good and unpretentious they were starting out. YMMV.Lire l'avis complet...

never got it

I can't say a thing the post office delivered my CD to the
wrong address i never got it, one thing i learn is not to
trust the post office and if i want something go and get it
yes ebay is easy to use but you can't depend that you will
get what you have purchased might as well throw your money
out of the window that's what i think.Lire l'avis complet...

The Rolling Stones (England's Newest Hit Makers)

This is where the Stones started. The CD contains their first hit, Not Fade Away and the first good Jaggar-Richards song, Tell Me. The rest of the songs are covers of R&B songs. They do bring their own take on these songs and hint at what will become the greatest Rock and Roll band in the World.Lire l'avis complet...
