Same. There's just so much in that album!

My favourite is "Dead Flowers", because the satire is just so exquisite, the wryness of the line "send me dead flowers to my wedding/and I won't forget to put roses on your grave" is incredible.
I think it's their best attempts to try folk rock in their entire career.
Rolling Stone magazine got it wrong as usual and said it just "didn't work".

Also very good is "Sister Morphine", which captures the confusion so clearly, and the guitar and piano distortions are fantastic.

Probably my favourite album they've done.

Wild Horses is the highlight for myself. 5 minutes of pure, raw, sincere emotion.

I probably ought to have mentioned that one. Who couldn't love it!

Howard the Duck

definitely much better than the Flying Burrito Bros' cover of it, though some may think otherwise

It isn't fun when a band is trying so hard to be a different one.

Who wants to hear a band which is in actual fact a shittier version of your favourite one?

Not me.

Actually, that's not really true and a slightly mean, but you understand.

The Flying Burrito Bros. aren't a crappier version of the Stones - they're something like a bridge between the Byrds and the Eagles - early country-rock

their cover of "Wild Horses" came out first, due to Gram Parsons' associations with Keef

I didn't know that. So there must have been a few people who didn't know who really wrote that song?

Urban Hat€monger ?

It only came out first because the Stones couldn't release anything because of legal wranglings with their old record company.
