Please don't tell my wife...
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
I love to listen to great podcast/interviews with great musicians. Last night i listened to Rick Beato interview Maynard from the great band Tool. Besides being a fantastic conversation, Maynard told Rick the two most influential albums for his music inspiration are Joni Mitchell Blue, and Black Sabbath's first self titled record.
I understand and love Black Sabbaths first record, but I have listened to JM Blue countless times and just don't understand what the hype is. Full disclosure I love female vocalists, and I also love Joni's Court and a Spark. With that said I have heard many musicians rave about Blue. Please enlighten me-what am I missing ?
The other head scratcher for me is Exile on Main Street by the Stones. Again I have heard many musicians rave about this double album. I don't get it... Beggars Banquet-Let it Bleed-Sticky Fingers are so much better in my opinion, but just like Blue, It seems like musicians much prefer Exile on Main Street.
I know its all subjective...but these are two records I have never learned to appreciate. Thoughts ?

@thecarpathian I'll let these (younger then) women weigh in on the subject, since this was what ..came to mind....:) I have spouse too. I know NOTHING between those mistakes in judgement that Work. ;) |
@asvjerry - always one of my favorite lines (and I agree!).... |
Ranked by sales volume below (exile 11.24 million ain’t too bad), but they are all good in my opinion. Hard to say that any albums are bad if you are a true Stones fan. Emotional rescue follows exile in 11th spot. But I’m scratching my head, is that a “female vocalist” in that song!?!? LOL
