I can't agree with that. In fact I would suggest that was the last thing that the Stone's were attempting with Some Girls. Miss You, Just My Imagination, Some Girls, Far Away Eyes, Beast of Burden are no where near sounding like anything that came out of the New Wave. Most of the other songs were rock and roll songs with a hard edge but that is what the Stones where any way. A rock and roll band. FWIW Some Girls is the last Stones album that I ever found particularity interesting.

I think that was intentional. Johnny Thunders even has a bit of Keef in him.

When Eminem decided he could be taken seriously.

Intentional? Like David Johansen got plastic surgery to have a bigger mouth or something?

Heh. I have to say that was one of the reasons I could never really get into Pantera.

Many 70s band had problems making the transition into the 80s. It's basically free pickings here.

One of many was canadian "Heart". Just check out their excellent "Barracuda" from 1977 versus their 1985 single "Never".

Barracuda :

Never :

The fact that the lead singer, Ann Wilson, put on weight and looks more like a rock-&-roll bean bag these days doesn't really make things better. I won't make fun of that, though, cause it's quite a tragedy.

I feel bad for Thom looking at that picture. He looks less ugly over time...
