Free Music Notes for Very Best of Mick Jagger
Free Music Review: Too much filler, considering it's missing at least 2 hit singles
Hit: 2 Stars
OK, maybe "filler" is too strong a word, as none of these tracks are really bad. But considering Jagger really hasn't had a whole albums' worth of solo hits, it's inexcusable to leave off two of the best: "Hard Woman" is probably his best solo record, and it had that cool computer-animated video that probably helped make it a HIT. And 1987's "Throwaway" didn't make quite such a splash, but it was a charting single and certainly doesn't deserve (sorry) to be thrown away.
The title song to the film "Ruthless People" was never a single, but it was a great, funny song, and I would easily rank it higher than half the songs here. But apparently Jagger himself hand-picked the songs for this album. So I guess he doesn't really care for these songs that I really like (and I'm sure I'm not alone here).
Just buy the solo albums...it's not like there's that many of them.
Free Music Review: Pure pablum
Hit: 1 Stars
Mick Jagger is a legend as lead singer of The Rolling Stones, but as a solo artist he is totally forgettable. The dreadful duet with David Bowie was probably the worst teaming of two singers ever. Nothing else on here amounts to much either. Buy a Rolling Stones album, any one from the 1960s, and you will be far more entertained. These tracks are lousy. Free Music Review: Missing so many good tracks...even though rarities are welcome
Hit: 2 Stars
I burned my own copy of what I felt was the very best of Mick Jagger years ago and found that the actual collection leaves off a lot of stuff that's in some cases superior to what's on the album. Where's "Use Me", "Turn the Girl Loose", "Lonely at the Top", "Running Out of Luck", "She's the Boss", "Goddess in the Doorway", "Radio Control", "Shoot Off Your Mouth", "Throwaway", "Ruthless People" or even "I'm Ringing" (rare b-side unreleased to CD)?Free Music Review: No "State of Shock" or "Hard Woman"
Hit: 3 Stars
Strange that the only compilation does not include two of the most relevant singles made by Mick Jagger:
a) "State of Shock", the duet with Michael Jackson which was a huge hit in the summer of 1984;
b) "Hard Woman", taken from his 1st solo album, the 7" single superior version was remixed and it's never released on CD, also had a beautiful promo video, one of the first using computer generated images!
Free Music Review: Mick Jagger 07 solo album
Hit: 4 Stars
Great album. Goes back to 'Performance' all the way through to his hit with Peter Tosh, 'Walk and Don't Look Back' and a recent rocker with Lenny Kravitz. One of the best tunes is the previously unrealeased 'Charmed Life' with Karris Jagger singing backup. She's his daughter from a fling with the original star of the Broadway play 'Hair' so she's got the singing gene. Another rare track is 'Too Many Cooks.' Over all the album is great even without Richards' licks. Only one ballad is a dud. Four stars.
