Goats Head Soup is definitely an overlooked and under appreciated album by The Rolling Stones in my opinion. Maybe not as much as Black and Blue but they're neck and neck. There isn't a bad song on that record. I agree that this is a Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor album with a nod to Billy Preston. Heartbreaker is my top 2 or 3 favorite Rolling Stones song of all time . Loved it when I heard it. The wah pedal and horn section did it for me. My favorite of the Mick Taylor era. Angie has a special place for me because in 7th grade my girlfriend who I just met loved Angie so I bought her the 45. I still play this CD often. Without Mick Taylor, this album could not have been made. The best period for The Rolling Stones. Silver Train, 100 Years Ago, Star Star etc. still holds up today almost 50 years later. I do know that Winter has been in Tour rehearsals for years but has never made the cut. Excellent song by song analysis on this record. I couldn't agree more. Great Frickin Job!
Thanks so much. Yea I’ve seen Winter written on the rehearsal boards but I’ve never heard a rehearsal version either. I don’t think they could pull it off anyway. I don’t think they could pull off much of Goats live. Like we said it’s very much Taylor’s album. His magnificent playing is not something the current Stones could pull off. Thanks again
I too love this album. I was thirteen in 1973 and recall defending this release to some of my friends who thought the Rolling Stones were too old!. Angie is the highlight for me, Hide your Love, and Dancing with Mr. D are also great songs.
Thanks. Me and you together - we've been defending this album since it's release. For me, it's musical diversity, beauty and courage is no less than Exile - just more compact on one record with two amazing singles - Angie and Heartbreaker - incredibly lush magnificent ballads - Angie, Winter, Coming Down Again. Classic driving rockers like Silver Train (no slouch on All Down The Line) and Star Star, gorgeous, magnificent, almost trippy Can You Hear The Music. Dancing with Mr. D is oozing with groove and atmosphere, what sounds like a live improptu jam that would fit on Exile in Hide Your Love. Funky wonder 100 Years Ago - am I missing anything - typing this live from memory and oozing with emotion. The critics missed it, The Stones themselves have missed it. Goats Head Soup is pure magical perfection in it's own way and equal to the run from Beggars to Exile. Thanks my friend....I feel better...lol
Goats Head Soup is not only my favorite Stones album but my favorite album of all time. It flows so well from song to song. It has so many textures. Perfect for headphones.
Goats Head Soup is my 3rd favorite Stones album; Sticky Fingers being my #1 and Exile on Main Street my #2. It is my number 1 most-listened-to Stones album, providing me with a variety of exquisite rock ‘n’ roll stylings. I can rock hard to: Heartbreaker; Star, Star; Dancing With Mr. D; and Silver Train. I can get funky with 100 Years Ago and Hide Your Love. I can feel chills going up my spine from the sublime balladry of: Coming Down Again; Angie; and Winter. I can get swept away to another dimension by the extraordinary grooves of Can You Hear The Music? All 10 songs on the album are very different from each other. Together, they result in an album that never stagnates. Musically, the album makes me wistful for Mick Taylor. His playing penetrates my soul. Lyrically, the songs exemplify why The Stones are the boldest, most daring band to “intelligently” delve into the dark side of life, covering - all on one album - the subjects of death, aging, drugs, violence, romantic heartbreak, longing, and, of course, sex. Goats Head Soup is delicious!
Fantastic video---really enjoyed the in-depth analysis. The other thing that makes Hide Your Love so great are the 2 awesome guitar solos courtesy of Mick Taylor.
dude, love your enthusiasm for my favorite rock band. have always loved this record. it's so '73 -- an amazing time for music. I wasn't born yet, but my knowledge of the music and bands of the time tell me that. 'star star' easily one of their best songs (for me).
Thanks for watching and you’re really nice comments. I really appreciate it. Great to know this music is timeless for younger generations after myself. Thanks again
Best review of an album I have ever heard.. absolutely fantastic. I couldn't agree with you more on ghs... My favorite...and I love the others..spot on with all your assessments...by the way I met Mick Taylor in Atlantic City in 1999..and told him how I felt about his playing on goat's head soup.. he's a great guy by the way.
Thanks so much for your comments. I really appreciate it. How cool you met Mick Taylor and had a nice conversation. Certainly my favorite era of the Stones is with him. Amazing guitar work which I always missed.
Just as a side note the song Tops on Tattoo You is by far the the best cut on that album for me. And I'm absolutely positive you know it was recorded during the Goats Head Soup sessions.
I have multiple versions of every Stones album, including original vinyl and to my ears, nothing comes close to the Virgin Remasters. They're amazing. They're not brickwalled and I heard things I never heard before. Thanks.
@@Donjasoni the only vinyl copy I have is the original first release which I bought the week it came out. It’s not in the same league as the virgin remaster. Of course Star Star is the biggest difference on the various versions. The original the vocals are buried so you can’t understand the controversial lyrics.
Best album of all time in my opinion. My 3 desert island records would be 3 copies of Goats Head Soup. Winter best song ever. Mick Taylor and Jagger were an incredible combo. This album pulls more emotion out of me than any other - cos the band put the most amazing vibes on tape. Always fun hearing your take on things. Good review.
And I thought I was a fan of this album. That’s awesome. Thanks so much. And yes. Jagger and Taylor were a great team. I imagine that Mick has missed his guitar skills at times over the years
Man, I love this channel! Yes, yes! I’ve been saying this for years. GHS is definitely their most underrated album and belongs in the conversation with those other legendary records.
Thanks so much - YES - it should be Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Get Your Ya Yas Out, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street and Goats Head Soup. Now that's an album run.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow in my opinion there are only three or four artists that can compete with that run. One could make an argument that it’s the greatest 5-6 consecutive album run of any artist.
Hey there Alan! I have really been enjoying your great channel and glad that I subscribed! Very nice and informative presentation of "Goats Head Soup-The Rolling Stones Most Underrated Album!" To be really honest I have never been uh of a Rolling Stones fan. I like all the hits, but I think the ONLY "Stones" album I ever had was "Sticky Fingers",which was "fair." However, I DO have the CD collrction titled "GRRrrrrrr", which I like a LOT! Thanks Alan!
Hey Thomas. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We all have different tastes which is great. If you just like the hits. That’s fine. The hits are amazing lol. Perhaps over time some of their lesser known songs will really grab you and then complete albums. Sometimes takes time. If you don’t really like Sticky Fingers you’re probably not gonna like Goats. Though check out Hesrtbreaker and Winter. Maybe they will grab you. Star star is fun too. Angie I’m sure you know. Thanks so much again.
Nice review..i rate Goats as #5 in their catalog. Mick Taylor felt he deserved some co writing credits on 100 years ago and Winter and this contributed to his decision to quit the band. My favorite track is Coming Down again. This album was favorably reviewed by critics at the time compared to Exile which got mixed lukewarm reviews. Ten years later critics reappraised Exile as a masterpiece .
Many reviews have Goats with mixed reviews - I actually have the reviews. But more importantly the Stones themselves critically dismissed the album over the decades which I didn't agree with. And yea Taylor is all over the album with Jagger - magnificent playing.
Silver Train is always on my playlist for my jogging music. Star Star makes it in there sometimes too. If we were to take the large bundle of Stones albums that make up the really good solid core of the Stone's work, Goat's Head Soup would be solidified in that bundle. No question. Also, love you singing out the tunes because sometimes the song titles elude me even though I know the songs very well. I never pay much attention to song titles. Rock and Roll.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Considering my lousy voice thanks so much for your compliments. It feels really goofy singing them sometimes lol. Thanks so much again. Really appreciate it
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Nooo. Screw goofy. You're speaking our language. I instantly recognized the tunes as soon as you put the beat or the melody/lyrics in there. Very helpful. I have all the albums from Aftermath up to Tattoo You. That's the core for me. I subbed up. Keep the cool content coming. Thanks.
I absolutely agree that this is a classic album, and as you say, one that you can listen to a lot and not get tired. Confession: Star Star is my least favourite track. I am now going to commit, absolute heresy and suggest an alternate universe track listing for the album. What do you think of this? Side 1: Criss Cross Heartbreaker 100 Years Ago Hide Your Love Coming Down Again Side 2: Dancing With Mr D Can You Hear The Music Silver Train Winter All The Rage (I’m suggesting that Angie be a standalone single with Star Star as the B-side)
Alternate universe albums is a fun idea. When they came out with the deluxe reissue, was many who re-arranged - got rid of Hide Your Love for instance. Personally i Love Star Star - Love the live version on Love You Live as well. I think it's a great song so I can't imagine the album without it and love that it's the final track. But of course we all like what we like, so if you don't like it, hey that's fine. I'm so used to the album, I actually can't imagine it another way. I love the sequencing as it is. But yours.....is ....interesting. Criss Cross (at least the original bootleg version) is a great track. Many have said to replace that with Hide Your Love. It's a good opener, but I love the moody eeriness of Dancing with Mr. D as the opener. You're ending of Hide your love and Coming Down Again - I don't know about that. I think Can You Hear The Music is awesome 2nd to last and then the lively Star Star takes it home. All The Rage is good - though sounds like a new song to me, not an original because of Jagger's latter day vocals. Fun topic. To me the original is perfect. Thanks so much.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I actually just listened to my track listing: of course it’s great but I think you’re probably right that it’s not really possible to improve the original album. I need to try and develop more love for Star Star. Can You Hear The Music took a long time to grow on me so there’s hope!
@@PhilSmithRHR Hey it’s fun what you’re doing but I’m locked in to the original. Star Star is such a fun simple Berryish rocker. But the lyrics and catchy chorus and Keith’s chops. Eventually it’ll grab you. Especially live.
Yes, the what-if alternate universe album idea is a great one. I'd be very happy to reconcieve/reimagine any and all of the albums between Exile and Dirty Work. No disrespect to the originals of course, but still, one can but dream.@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
Thanks for watching and your request. I've done other Stones videos where I talk about Some Girls a bit, but yes I'll do one in the future. Some Girls is also one of my most played albums (perhaps overplayed - so I don't go to it that much anymore), but it's a damn near perfect album. It's a monster. When that album came out it was a fantastic time to be a Stones fan - Yea - I'll have to do a video on Some Girls and the '78 tour which was a strange one, even at that time. Thanks again.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I just found Star Star live in Texas ‘78 on RU-vid. What a killer performance..really amped up from the album cut. Keith playing out of his skin and Charlie at his absolute peak.
@@peteallen935 yes that’s a great concert. Back when the Stones were an actively recording band. The 78 Shows were roughly 90 minutes and they were playing virtually the whole new Some Girls album. Very different time. Thanks
If you do Alan, perhaps you could have a go at the extra twelve tracks that came with the SG reissue in 2012/13. 'Do you think I really Care?' is one of my favourite numbers ever by this band, and both 'You Win Again' and 'No Spare Parts' are exceptional, in my view. 'Tallahassie Lassie', which is probably on a par with Tommy Steele's version, comes on a bit too strong for me, and 'We Had it All', on the other hand, seems a little weak and watery. And one or two of the songs towards the end are strictly B-side material, but overall, it was a pretty enjoyable collection I guess. On the 1973 world tour, the band included a foursome of the new GHS numbers early on in the set, but in '78, we got seven of the new SG tracks all together, halfway through the show, which was a bit too Some Girls-heavy for my liking.@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
@@bernardjennings3549 interesting idea. Doing a video on the bonus tracks of the deluxe editions. I like it. Overall in general I was disappointed because much of it I already had on bootleg and often preferred the original unadulterated bootleg versions. Cool concept. For the future. Let’s get through Hackney Diamonds first. But thanks again
Bingo! I've long believed that Goat's Head Soup is the Rolling Stones' most underrated album. How do you follow the mighty Exile On Main Street? You have to mellow out, rather than try to compete with it, so the Stones went in the right direction. I agree that both Micks are fantastic here, and I have some thoughts on why this album is so underrated. First and foremost, Keith's presence is probably lighter than on any Stones album that preceded it. However, he distinguished himself on "Coming Down Again", which after "Happy" and "You Got the Silver", is my favorite song that he sang lead vocals on. In an interview, Keith said it was too personal of a song to perform live. I think it's partly about taking Anita away from Brian, and without Anita, Brian began his tailspin. Keith also salvaged "Heartbreaker" by adding his bass performance to it when the 2 Micks were frustrated with its development. And "Star Star" is Keith's natural Chuck Berry-inspired habitat that nobody can match. You may know the story behind Keith writing the music for "Angie". After trying to quit heroin cold turkey, he nearly died, stayed in a hospital for, I think 2 weeks, and played acoustic guitar with a teenage boy hospital roommate while Keith was unable to walk. That kid brought his own acoustic guitar and got plenty of free guitar lessons from Keith Richards! The sadness in the song came from Keith's near death experience, the closest he ever came to dying. Second, I love "Dancing with Mr D", but it's a lackluster opening song for the album. As an opener for side 2 it would be fine, but as you pointed out, after "Sympathy", "Gimme Shelter", "Brown Sugar" and "Rocks Off" opening previous great Stones albums, this song doesn't grab you in the same way. But they picked the best song they had to use, and like you, I love when it speeds up in the opening to find its groove. My ranking of the album's songs on a scale of 1 to 5. (Keep in mind that this is a Rolling Stones' scale, so for most other artists, I'd grade each of these songs one number higher.) 5 Angie 5 Star Star 5 Hearbreaker 4 Dancing with Mr D 4 Coming Down Again 4 Winter 4 Hide Your Love 4 Silver Train 3 Can You Hear the Music 3 One Hundred Years Ago I agree with you that the goat's head soup photo should have been the album cover. It's more in their devilish image. The tour for this album was fantastic! I taped the radio's King Biscuit Flower Hour "Brussels Affair" twice in 1976 and wore both cassettes out. I got it on several bootlegs, on vinyl and compact disc, and the bootleg version is my favorite live recording by anyone, ever. That version of "Midnight Rambler" is the greatest live performance of any song I've ever heard. Being a new follower, I'll be catching up to your previous videos over the next month. I'm glad i found you. I always appreciate finding a rock and roll music brother or sister. Thanks, Alan. Scott
I'm so glad you found my channel and are contributing such amazing and insightful information. I actually forgot about that whole Keith in the hospital story. Heard it once a long time ago. Fantastic information and great insight you have - thanks so much.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow It's my pleasure to share about the Stones with you whenever I can. I've read so many books and articles about them since 1971, and I was a journalism major in college, so I remember a lot of what I've learned. I find their music almost as fascinating as it is enjoyable. You may already have it, but there's a great book named, "The Rolling Stones: All the Songs". It's a chronological story of each song's creation and identifies most of the musicians on each track and what they each played. I highly recommend it.
@@scottlbroco yes. I also have lots of books and that is a good big mammoth book. I was impressed that they mentioned the bum note left on Sitting On a Fence. Love that.
Yes, extraordinary story about Keith in Dr Denber's clinic in Vevey (Switzerland). Strumming on his acoustic with a young boy who happened to be a patient there as well. I had no idea Angie was so personal - I thought All About You was as personal as it got - in fact I had no idea Coming Down Again was so personal either. One of KR's most beautiful songs. I have to differ with you on the cover though; I think David Bailey's yellow gatefold sleeve is just beautiful.
@@bernardjennings3549 I also like the cover they chose with the 5 heads of the Stones. I just think the goats soup photo would've made a better front cover, with all 5 Stones' heads pictured on the entire inside of the front and back covers. Great album.
Yes - absolutely true. Though to an extent the Stones themselves disregarded it back then too. Thankfully that's changed some over the years. For me, from the day it came out I thought it was a classic - a masterpiece. @@duncefunce1513
GHS has always been the final of the Stones great 5 consecutive albums. Everyone talks about the great 4 (Beggars to Exile) but totally discredits GHS. Why? It isn't as good as Exile (nothing is) But GHS is so strong. Especially the deep cuts which make it the incredible album that it is. (100 Years Ago, Coming Down Again, Winter, Can You Hear The Music, Silver Train. Yeah I love Heartbreaker (don't care at all for Angie), but it the deep cuts that make it so great.
You know I totally agree with you. Well except for Angie which I think is absolutely incredible. But hey that’s ok. Lol. Not that it’s better but truth be told I listen to GHS more than Exile. Thanks so much.
Fine review Alan, thanks. I agree with you on almost everything you say, but for me GHS is still missing something overall. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's a combination of a couple of weaker/more forgettable tracks on side 2 with underdevelopment on others, e.g., Dancin' is a killer riff but doesn't then take that swamp groove anywhere. I think the key may be that while Keith is only totally absent from one track (Winter), it feels like he was dipping in and out of much of the album - he doesn't even play 6-string guitar on 3 tracks - and Mick was learning how to produce alone as Jimmy Miller hit the skids and used orchestration a bit too much for me. Also, ST is Exile'y, you're right, but for me it is simply not a very strong track. That one has always felt to me like the Stones trying to be the Stones. You know? I wonder how I'd feel if the band had included Criss Cross and Fast Talkin' ... Anyway, all that feels like nitpicking over a fine album which could easily have been a career high for anyone else.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I actually kind of mention that, but probably not strongly enough. There is a definitely feeling on most of the album (Star Star the big exception) that Keith is missing. It does feel like a Mick Jagger / Mick Taylor album - Taylor is all over it. But for me, I love it, possible because of that. I'm also a sucker for Stones ballads and this album has three of the best of all time for me - Angie, Winter and Coming Down Again. But I also really like all the other tunes...Silver Train being the weakest for me, yet I still like it. Thanks again.
Interesting how the location of an album's recording has so much of a bearing on what we all end up hearing: Olympic Studios in Barnes for Beggars Banquet (oh so English), Muscle Shoals for Sticky Fingers (thick and syrupy as black treacle), the fetid & clammy basement of Nellcote (Exile), the harsh & metallic studios of Rotterdam and Munich (IOR&R), Paris for Some Girls, Nassau for Emotional Rescue and here, the very, very laid back setting of Sunset Sounds in Jamaica (GHS). I thought the four alternative takes on this re-release (100 yrs, Mr D, Doo doo and Hide your Love) were sensational. The various alternative mixes, on the other hand (Silver Train et al) seem a little pointless. Of the three 'new' songs however, All the Rage was my personal standout, Scarlet okayish, and Criss-Cross not really my cup of tea at all. That's just me I guess. But any album that contains Coming Down Again, one of Keith's loveliest ballads, has got to be pretty special. All the same, I was a bit disappointed by the omission of Through the Lonely Nights on this deluxe set. That's pretty special too.@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
Overall, I've been disappointed with the Stones super deluxe editions. it's weird when you prefer the original untouched bootleg versions over the newly re-recorded bootleg songs (like Criss - Cross). Scarlet was cool. I never heard that before. All The Rage was old music track that I knew with new lyrics and new vocal - was a good song, but like the Exile new tracks - didn't match to me. LOVE Through The Lonely Nights and it definitely should've been there (even though it was the B-side to IORR - it's pure GHS. The studio stuff get's muddied and I don't fully buy the "distorted history". We all know and love the Exile Nelcote situation and it was true - definitely. But much of Exile was older and much was done later in LA. Most Stones albums have a varied gestation. @@bernardjennings3549
@@bernardjennings3549 just doesn’t make as great a story. The exile documentary was amongst their best. The Nellcote footage was so cool. But it took LA to get Exile together.
Don’t know. Just a concept by David Bailey after the Stones rejected Hipgnosis concept of the centours. And the goats head Soup rejected by record company and forced to use an the insert.
I wasn't born yet but I love this album and feel no need to compare it to their other records. However, I think it depends on your age at the the time. The same year saw the New York Dolls debut and Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges. If I was a teenager at that point like all the future punks were, those releases would have seemed far more exciting! Then the Ramones appeared and the whole music world was being returned to how the 50's RNR cats meant it to sound. Listen to the first UK punk single New Rose by the the Damned and you can hear how bloated the music had become and how pompous the musicians were in their mansions and private planes. Punk brought it back to the street where it belonged. Keef still influenced every guitar player on the scene, Thunders, James Williamson, Steve Jones, etc. though! Despite their own undenyable talent.
Glad to see your love for Goats Head Soup. I was ten when it came out and I remember the beginnings of punk very well. As much as I enjoyed punk and later on new wave, and I still do, it certainly didn't influence my love for the classic bands at that time, who created timeless music that still resonates to this day.
I think this and IORR are just outside Top 4. Mick Taylor shines even more on IORR (?). Jagger's problem was too many ballads. See also Through the Lonely Nights, Waiting on a Friend and Fast Talking Slow Walking. What's missing is a Keith rock song like Happy or Before They Make Me Run.
Certainly Mick Taylor shined the most on Time Waits For No One. In fact, that song is my #1 "Go-To" Rolling Stones song. Absolute perfection and the best lead guitar work on any Stones track ever IMHO. But overall I hear more Keith on IORR vs GHS. I think IORR is a great album as well, although I always felt it was lacking a great single, which accounts for it's relatively poor commercial status. It was number one for one week and fell off the charts relatively quickly for a Stones album back then. The title track was the "hit" single but wasn't quite the hit, at least for the Stones back then as well. Of course, it's now a live classic, since the Stones have performed it pretty regularly thru the decades. I'm a sucker for Stones ballads, so I love Till The Next Goodbye. Even love If You Really Want To Be My Friend, both from IORR, but the ballads on GHS are far superior. Thanks for writing and commenting - really appreciate it.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Angie vs IORR... Angie sold GHS on it's own. Released 11 days before the album. IORR 3 months before the album... Far superior? Angie is far superior to any of the other ballads... but no Mick Taylor solo, except live... Which means it's a Keith song?
@@FuturePast2019 definitely his little high hat accent throughout the song is such a highlight of Angie. I cannot believe Steve Jordan didn’t do it on the recent live appearance. And no one reminded him to do it.

Few albums would get 5 or even 1 in my collection. @@HTJB60

I consider Dancing with Mr. D one of my all time favorite tracks....nothing else on the album would have been a better opener....my issue is paying over a hundred bucks for the deluxe set just to finally get an official release of Brussels Affair ( which by the way blows YaYa's away.....Midnight Rambler on YaYa's isn't even in the same building with Rambler on Brussels).....Hendrix fans complaining about the 2 cd remastered discs of Maui plus a dvd and a documentary for 30 bucks is a joke in comparison......the same goes for the over a hundred Sticky Fingers deluxe set in order to obtain Leeds....( and which also is better than YaYa's ).......I would consider Black and Blue and Undercover underrated ( 2 of my favorites ) compared to GHS......thanks for the cool video....my first Stones purchase was in the 70's ....the Satisfaction 45......after that it was all albums.....
I lucked out with that super deluxe Goats set. I waited and waited for Amazon to sell it cheap and they eventually did. Don't remember what I paid for it. But you're right. For the price, don't get that much, except nice packaging. The Stones deluxe sets are more "sizzle" than "steak" compared to other bands super deluxe sets. I especially wanted the Goats one because of the DVD surround mix, but I found it underwhelming. My favorite version is still the remastered Virgin CD which sounds fantastic.

@@larrynolletti4594 pet peeve of mine as well. Like yourself I’ve had these bootlegs for decades in some cases and I prefer the original bootleg versions to the redone ones. Jagger oversings terribly in some cases. Did like scarlet though. Some of the exile ones though were especially awful.
They did a smokin version of Star Star on the 78 tour......in 2003 in Twickenham on the B stage Jagger made a lyric change....the Steve McQueen reference was dropped...instead of him being mad at the girl...the girl was mad at him " for giving head to An- Jolie "

Thanks so much for this. I m glad I’m not crazy and my ears haven’t been deceived. I’ve been saying ever since they came out. Those remastered Virgin CDs are incredible. By far the best Stones album versions. So superior that it’s hard to listen to the other versions including the vinyls. Thanks again.
@Mike Barooshian thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes. Black and.Blue was ahead of its time. I bought it when it came out and was very disappointed. So different and Fool to Cry was first single and was also disappointed. It didn’t get good reviews either. But it kept growing and growing for me and it’s still a go to Stones album for me as well. One of the few where the Stones have played every song live as well which is also interesting. Thanks again
15:35 Jimmy Page giving head? Lol. No, the most evil thing Jagger ever did was sing "...John Wayne before he dies." He never sang that line live after 1973. John Wayne had cancer, and died in 1979. 72 yo (Jagger didn't know) So in 1975 Jagger sings about Jimmy Page instead.
@Mike Barooshian Hi Mike. I know a couple of their songs - Glad All Over and a few more. I know Dave Clark was the drummer. Late last year, I bought a beautiful double CD collection called The History Of Dave Clark Five. It has a whopping 50 songs on it. Earlier this year I bought another - a bootleg collection called True Stereo with 30 songs on it. They're both in my backlog and haven't gotten to them, but I'm excited to eventually get to them...lol So much to listen to, so little time. THANKS

These conversation topic's really baffle me. >>> Quote; @tarrtruck2869 "Goats Head Soup is definitely an overlooked and under appreciated album" @Donjasoni GHS is definitely their most underrated album. @scottlbroco Bingo! I've long believed that Goat's Head Soup is the Rolling Stones' most underrated album. Can ANYONE RATE album's etc. ?????????? I'm really curious......
Well everyone can rate an album. We all have valid opinions on what we like and where we would rate them. Basically for the critical world the Stones peak is considered from Beggars Banquet through Exile On Main Street. Simply put I add Goats Head Soup onto that streak. I think Goats Head Soup is absolutely fantastic and worthy of that streak and many agree with me...some don't. What the hell - it's all valid but that's why Goats Head Soup is underrated to me.
