Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Some Girls Review
A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of "Miss You" and closes with the self-destructive punk of "Shattered." (Both songs, especially "Miss You," with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.) So the Stones declared credibility in the dance circuit without sacrificing their hard-rock reputation. Though the anti-love "Beast of Burden" and the stylishly slow "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" continue to rack up the most airplay, the obscurities stand up surprisingly well. Worth replaying: Keith Richards's rickety rocker "Before They Make Me Run." --Steve Knopper
Some Girls Review
Few rock stars have played in the intersection of real life, image, and fans' imaginations as smartly (and comically) as Mick Jagger does on Some Girls. With the Stones again running at top pace, Jagger aims his gimlet eye at his and the boys' gossip-column lives (the Chuck Berryish "Respectable," the archly blues-wailing title track), his collapsing marriage (where was Bianca when Mick's pals were trying to hook him up with the "Puerto Rican girls who're just dyin' to meetchoo?) and the mores and modes of New York society in the Studio 54 era (practically everything here). Slot in Keith's lament "Before They Make Me Run," and this is one of the greatest Stones albums. --Rickey Wright

As other reviews indicate, the music on this CD is awesome.
HOWEVER, the medium on which they sell it is ABSOLUTELY nasty and will not burn to Itunes, will not play on my Sony (PC) CD player, nor will the copied files upload or play on Windows Media Player, Media Jukebox or Itunes. So you buy the music and do not get to use it.
Programs won't even play the MUSIC purchased on this album from a networked drive that does recognize it. This MUSIC is in some kind of toxic format.
DRM control on this MUSIC appears to be here for the protection of those starving artists. Nonetheless, I'd sure like to use the music that I paid for. This was my last Amazon/Stones purchase. Why buy MUSIC that you can't use the way you want to use it?
