I heard the song "Melody" by The Rolling Stones a few weeks ago on some random playlist. Fantastic song but I'd never heard it before - been a very casual Stones listener, never really dug into their music. Anyway, this made me wonder how many other great songs they've made that I'd never heard, which, well - led me to listen to every one of their 25 studio albums. I finally finished this journey last night.
Holy. Crap. Whole new appreciation. They have made a LOT of great music, most of it way better than the standard hits. Their early stuff rocks. Their late stuff rocks. Consistent great music from one end of their career to the other. Very little if any filler on any records (compared to the Beatles who stuffed every record with throwaway songs.)
Anyway, in case anyone wants to check it out, here's a playlist I made of the great Stones songs you likely never heard (full disclosure there are some Stones standards on here - the ones I really like). https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0j...tion=copy-link
'Walking on a Flashlight Beam' - Lunatic Soul
Excellent recommendation, this album is fantastic - I listen to a lot of Lunatic Soul and enjoy all of their work.
I was watching a crazy foreign horror flick on Netflix the other night. In one of the scenes, they played a remix of the old 10cc classic "I'm Not In Love" It sounded amazing and the singer's voice impressed me (the movie was good too)
Anyway, found the remix version on Spotify and the artist is Kelsey Lu. Her only album "Blood" is excellent, listened to it several times in the past few days Check it out....
