(7 Customer Reviews)
SOME GIRLS includes the hits "Beast Of Burden" and "Shattered," and one of the biggest-selling singles of the Stones' career, the disco-crossover "Miss You." The title track caused its share of controversy when its lyrics were attacked as sexist ... Full Descriptionand racist.
Possibly fearing the aging dinosaur label in the punk climate of 1978 New York City, SOME GIRLS rocked harder and more consistently than most Stones albums from the '70s. Revitalized by the chummy guitar dynamic between Keith Richards' impressionistic riffs and Ronnie Wood's perfectionist lead work, the album's merit is in the diversity of its tracks.
Starting with the disco elixir of "Miss You," SOME GIRLS marked new territory for the band. As Ronnie's second album as an official member, the album showed that the Stones' sound had reworked itself, proving there was more to their dynamic than just white boy blues. The range of Ronnie's guitar work spans from the searing country lead in "Far Away Eyes" to the near-rockabilly twang in "Shattered," and finds the Stones sounding tighter and more excited than on their previous albums.
From placing their stamp on The Temptations' "Just My Imagination" to the big-city neurosis of "When The Whip Comes Down" and "Shattered," 1978's SOME GIRLS is a wild rumpus throughout.
Principally recorded at E.M.I. Studios, Paris, France.
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, piano); Keith Richards (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, piano, bass); Ron Wood (acoustic & electric guitars, pedal steel guitar, bass, percussion, background vocals); Bill Wyman (synthesizer, bass); Charlie Watts (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Sugar Blue (harmonica); Mel Collins (saxophone); Ian "Mac" McLagan (electric piano, Hammond organ).

| Some Girls Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Last Near-Classic Album Although "Some Girls" is better than "Goats Head Soup", "It's Only Rock & Roll" and "Black and Blue" put together, it is a trifle overrated as it can't hold a candle to such classics as "Let It Bleed" and "Exile On Main Street". The disco-inflected "Miss You" would have worked better as an all-out rock song. The best tracks are the blues-laced title track (the Stones can still shock with their lyrical content, and it would've been intriguing if this cut would've been issued in its original 24-minute format) and the hilarious country popper "Far Away Eyes". I believe that this album's classic status is attributed to Keith Richards' legal difficulty at the time, and the band seems to have been aroused from its somnambulent state of "Black and Blue". "Some Girls" was a formidable way to bid farewell to the 1970s and it was a pity that their 80s records didn't contain any of their earlier fire.

Stones at their best!!! This recording has got it all, from dance to country to drug busts to the F-word....sex drugs & rock n roll all the way. 5-Stars and nothing less, a definite 'must have' cd. Submitted by Vincent (montreal, canada) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
The Last Great Stones Classic The perception on this album is that The Stones had their backs to the wall; punk from the left, disco to the right, and Keef facing a possible long-term gig behind bars. Whether it was any of that or stars were aligned, the Stones sounded their best going back to Exile on Main Street. The New York vibe is all over the disk (Miss You, Shattered, When the Whip Comes Down), but they still manage a funny/poignant country tune in Far Away Eyes.
I would bet good money this is also their most humorous record as well, in fact, the boys veer close to self-parody, but pull it off with their usual self-satisfied smirks.
When this came out in 1978, I thought it was the perfect representation of everything the Stones stood for. I think it still does. I also honestly believe they have not come close to delivering a great album since then.

Some Girls album
$14.45 If the term "journeyman" could be applied to a band, it would be a good fit for UFO. Since 1969, the band has consistently delivered solid albums of no-nonsense hard rock, occasionally dipping into space rock, AOR, and metal along the way. THE VISITOR features original vocalist Phil Mogg and original drummer Andy Parker, along with guitar shredder legend Vinnie Moore (original bassist Pete Way was unable to participate due to ...

| | Heaven & Hell The Devil You Know CDs (2009)
Some Girls songs
$14.89 Some things are immune to trends, and Ronnie James Dio's golden voice is one of them. The alleged inventor of the devil-horns symbol (as it pertains to metal) had a memorable stint as the singer of Black Sabbath after St. Ozzy's departure, leaving behind two classic albums in MOB RULES and HEAVEN AND HELL. Though the rest of Sabbath has mainly focused on working with Ozzy in the 2000s, a 2007 tour with Dio whetted their appetites for a fresh collaboration as Heaven & Hell. The result, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, stands proudly beside the band's prime material. Like anything associated with Dio, the music is unapologetically operatic, with almost every song clocking in at around or over five minutes. The singer ...
| | Laura Izibor Let The Truth Be Told CD (2009)
Some Girls album
$11.18 Laura Izibor is not your cookie-cutter neo-soul singer, and it goes beyond her background: she grew up in Dublin, Ireland. Elements of folk, gospel, and rock grandeur dance about on her 2009 debut, LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD. Opening-track single "Shine" summons the early-1970s, wrapping Tower of Power-style horns, jaunty piano flourishes, and a TAPESTRY-era Carole ...

| | Teenage Fanclub Bandwagonesque CD (1991)
Some Girls music CDs
$6.15 Teenage Fanclub emerged from a fraternal milieu centred on the Scottish town of Bellshill. A common love of pop tradition bound the quartet together and elements of their mentors abound on this collection. Neil Young and Big Star are obvious reference points, but the Fannies are not merely Byrds copyists. Dizzy melodies, long-hair guitar and unpretentiousness abound, the set's attraction ultimately residing in its cumulative, carefree charm. An impishness enhances the entire proceedings; only ...
| | Bangles Greatest Hits CD (1990)
Some Girls songs
$10.39 This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.
Somewhat unfortunately, 1990's GREATEST HITS covers only the Bangles' years at Columbia Records, meaning that their great garage-rocking debut single, "Getting Out of Hand," and their fantastic self-titled 1982 EP are MIA. Also, the collection focuses almost exclusively on the Los Angeles power poppers' singles instead of their moodier and more experimental album tracks, giving a rather unbalanced portrait of the band. That said, the singles are excellent, from the classic no-nonsense beat-pop of "Hero Takes A Fall" and "Walking Down Your Street" to languid ballads like the heartbreaking "If She Knew What She Wants" and "Going Down To Liverpool." ...
