Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Kissing and running, kissing and running away
Kissing and running, kissing and running away
Senses be praised

Your my saving grace, saving grace
Nothing will harm you
Nothing will stand in your way
Nothing, Nothing
Nothing will stop you
And nothing will stand in your way

What say you now? This has to be a joke
Magic. Surprising fine tune from a band who were on a downward slide and never recovered. Their last quality album.

What an irony playing the Sones after Biitersweet Symphony when the thieving glimmer twins got all the royalties off Bitter Sweeet as it had sample from Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil.
No sympathy from the devil I say. Ratbags.

When Bill mentioned that Tattoo You was his favorite Rolling Stones album, I knew for sure we were from the same tribe.

GOOD TUNE! First I gave it a 7, but then bumped up to an 8! Thanx RP! 
Charlie Watt's death was one of those cold reminders that we are all, indeed, mortal creatures. He was the backbone of a musical institution that the world will never forget and he managed to do it without turning into a caricature of himself. There are numerous references to his lack of enthusiasm for world tours, because he preferred to go home at night. That's the epitome of cool, right there.
I really never appreciated Charlie Watts as a drummer as much as he deserves credit for. The vocals are great and the atmospheric sound is lovely. Charlie's drumming on this is the most spectacular aspect of the song for me. Pretty sure it couldn't be replicated live with only one drummer though but if anyone has a video of it please share.
Proof that the Stones can do anything they want and make it great.
omfg, I had no idea this was the rolling stones. Totally thought it was a current band. So, so good. Keep playing what you do, radio paradise!!
sooooo good.
Don't like Stones 
But this one is most excellent

My thoughts exactly. Never understood the overrating of the RS. In this track (and album) they showed that even they can progress beyond adolescence.

My favorite Stones album. This is such a mesmerizing song.

Not exactly a compilation of past tracks as some suspect. The album is comprised of material that was begun during the Stone's previous 4-5 albums. Most of the stuff was instrumentals and unfinished outtakes, rather than completed songs. Jagger had to write lyrics, melodies, and record vocals in order to finish the tracks. Thus, the songs were completed in their final form for the album in 1980-81, just prior to the album's release.
The master tape for Miss You and Start Me Up was done on the same day. Keith wanted to delete Start Me Up! It didn't happen! Source Keiths biography.

Sly and Robbie do this?
I have to bump this most excellent tune to a 9. Great stuff. It takes me back to the time I was newly divorced and discovering every drug I hadn't already tried.
Good times.
Good times.
Very cool , odd gem by the Stones.....thanks RP again 
Goodish song that sounds very much unlike the Stones. Almost everything else they do manages to leave one or another tell tale trademaks. Not this one.

One forgets not everyone was born in 1953 and grew up listening to all
the Stones "genres" come and go like presidents and prime ministers along the way. Good advice, h8rhater

Good call. I am a BIG fan of the Stones mid-60s to mid-70s, and a modest fan of the Stones outside those time frames. Like all artists of any genre, their art and subject matter changes over the years.

Huh?

I wish they would just decide whether it's in major or minor already.
Wonder if Mick still feels the same way.
Ahhhhh.....best Stones song....best album also
Every track from Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky is a gem.
Now see Javelin Unlanding by Bill Callahan. Love them both!

Did a double take listening to this. Nicholas Jaar sampled the "senses erased" line into one of his compositions. Always fun to find the origin of some of the samples in electronic music.
"Senses Be Praised"
not a fan but i like this tune lots 
Such a good album. Start Me Up got a lot of attention but there were so many gems on it like this one.
Yet another song showing the Stones versatility.
A crazy tune, didnt know the Stones had this in em, thanks RP thats an 8
: ) beautiful piece/BAND OF FABULOUS ARTISTS
Cool song, even without Keith.
always liked this track and this album !Billy Bob and Beck
You hit the ball out of the park with this track...a classic in the Stones canon

The second 'side' of this record is one quiet gem after another.
Happy Happy - Thank you, Bill for the Stones song of the day!

It was not my intent to put down Bjork. I will admit, though, that it might have come across that way. I saw her once at Bonnaroo and found her music to be very interesting and innovative.
Something tells me that her music goes way over the head of rdo, hence the comment.
If you liked Heaven by the Stones, you might check out the Emotional Rescue album, from the same time-frame. Or maybe the B-side of the Goats Head Soup album. Also, the song Fingerprint File from the It's Only Rock and Roll album.
I've loved Emotional Rescue from the get go, thx for the reminder

Let me start by the following confession: I know so little of the Stones' production that I was actually about to mail Bill about a wrong title to a song I didn't know, but which was, as I would have put it, "definitely NOT by the Stones". Hehe...
It was only by listening to said title on GooTube that I discovered that what I had indentified as an indie, low-fi-minimalistic-band-with-high-pitched-male-lead-voice of recent years actually was the *Stones*, wow!
NOW, the Stones are not my cup of tea (I'm sure they favored other kinds of drinks.) I respect them and understand fully how they were essential in pop history, but I know about five hits by them, tops.
STILL, this song sounds so incredibly *modern* (I tried to come up with something less vague, didn't, apologies for lack of vocabulary) that the last word that would come to my mind would be stuffy, and the first thing would be (pretty much) "highly innovative and experimental"
!
I'm only half-joking: I'm really stunned by how much some bands of today sound exactly like what the Stones were doing in 1981!
So I really don't agree with rdo putting down the Stones... but h8rhater's answer puts down Björk (yep, I insist, it's spelled with a so-called "diaeresis" on the 'o'), and I'm a huge fan.
So h8rhater has every right to reply to rdo's mocking him, but not to give Björk as a bad example. Respect needs to go both ways. ...unless there's any serious grounds for denying Björk having made a worthy contribution to pop (and I don't care AT ALL that she was this hugely famous child of MTV who sold millions of albums; I only care about her music.)
Anyway: thanks guys! Now I'm tempted to listen to more stuff from that Stones album and those years to hear what else they came up with I would have qualified as "definitely NOT by the Stones !

Great tune on an average album, but I never did think that they did anything of note after Mick Taylor left.

So many good memories listening to this song....
Love Jagger's guitar as well as vocals on this great song.
Kissing and running away.... Senses we pray.... Fantastic voice, fantastic guitar, awesome song, a 9 no doubt!

I thought that sounded more like Mick Taylor - thanks for the info.This is the Stones? What were they oh this time? 
This is one of my all time greatest hits.
The playlist page doesn't seem to be updating.
This is a Peter Gabriel song....From what I am hearing I don't think that this is the Rolling Stones version.

Hmm...very sensual song.
This whole album is a 9

I have very little to comment on the whole 60s thing. I really like some Beatles, but the stuff I like by them is not very highly regarded by the old guard. Stones dont do a whole lot for me. I like highly innovative and experimental music. Stones too stuffy for me

I never could understand why people want so badly to compare the two bands. As if you could like only one or the other. Insanity.

Can you also almost feel the warm sun rays from this track?

Love this somewhat untypical Stones song. That's Mick on guitar for those that may not know. This song shows the wide range of the Stones that "classic radio" listeners would not likely know.

It is way beyond pointless to argue over which of the two best bands in rock and roll history is THE best.
Also, it is a fallacy to say that the Stones put out a lot of "crap" and "fillers" over the years. This very song might be considered a "filler" by many but is in fact a gem just like almost everything the Stones have ever done. Sure, every album ever put out has a song or two that aren't as good as the rest on the disc and the Stones might be no different (the same could be said for the Beatles). There are at least 5 or 6 rock solid tracks on every single album the Stones have ever done (including the ill fated Dirty Work disc of 1987).
Take a listen to their last album, A Bigger Bang, and you will find that nearly every track is quality. They just aren't played anywhere because radio is so fragmented nowadays AND there is this completely irrational belief (given decades of proof to the contrary) that rock music cannot be played by aging musicians. The Stones are rumored to be working on a new disc for release next year. There won't be any "filler crap" on that one either.
Today's bands shill their fresh-off-the-presses latest hits directly to commercials and no one seems to care but the Stones sold Start Me Up, 14 years after its release, to Microsoft and you cry about it. Get over it.
Ye-aah...
rdo, is that you?
"It is way beyond pointless to argue over which of the two best bands in rock and roll history is THE best."
Agreed. I just think that the Beatles put out a lot of great work in the eight or so years they were together as a studio-recorded band. The Stones have been around a lot longer. I can't recall people raving about a Stones studio album since "Tattoo You."
Pretty sure that Mick and Keith have said in interviews that they've written a lot of crap songs. I gonna give their thoughts about their work a little more weight than your notions. And my own opinion counts just as much as yours, h8rhater.
"There are at least 5 or 6 rock solid tracks on every single album the Stones have ever done (including the ill fated Dirty Work disc of 1987)."
And the other songs after those 5-6 "rock solid" tracks are...what? Firm as chalk, or perhaps a stale bran muffin? But we mustn't call them filler or crap. They're just...whatever.
Oh, and was "Dirty Work" ill-fated because there were so many great tracks on it? Was that it? Yeahmaybenot.
"The Stones are rumored to be working on a new disc for release next year. There won't be any "filler crap" on that one either."
Gosh! Guess you've listened to all the unreleased songs already then. If you're so big a Stones fan that you can't/won't admit that they've put out some poor songs, well enjoy your happy world. Maybe you can shuffle off and help the Glimmer Twins finish the album up. Because you know what the fuck they're going to do. What they haven't done yet. What they're rumored to be doing next year.
"the Stones sold Start Me Up, 14 years after its release, to Microsoft and you cry about it. Get over it."
Crying? No. Annoyed that a good song got used to shill a lousy OS? Yes, and rightly so. Win95 was a dog. Or is Microsoft in your shit-doesn't-stink fantasyland with Mick and Keef's past, present and unfinished/not even begun songs?

Wouldn't be surprised if I knew this was produced by Brian Ferry. Does anyone know about that?

We could discuss which band's recordings we'd rather have on a desert isle, but fortunately I doubt any of us will have face that either/or choice. Apparently the bands liked and respected each other FWIW.
This is still an amazing song, maybe the best on the album. "Start Me Up" is OK but for me it's forever tainted as the anthem for Microsoft's ad campaign for Windows 95.

Ooohh, never heard this. I likey.
Quality gem from the Stones, thanks.
What an irony playing the Sones after Biitersweet Symphony when the thieving glimmer twins got all the royalties off Bitter Sweeet as it had sample from Gimme Shelter or Sympathy for the Devil.
No sympathy from the devil I say. Ratbags.
According to Wikipedia:
In early 2019, Ashcroft's managers approached Jody Klein. He connected them to the Rolling Stones' manager, Joyce Smyth, who agreed to speak to Jagger and Richards.[16] That April, ABKCO, Jagger and Richards agreed to return the "Bitter Sweet Symphony" royalties and songwriting credits to Ashcroft.[16] Ashcroft announced the agreement in May, when he received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors.[13] He said it was a "kind and magnanimous" move, and said: "I never had a personal beef with the Stones. They've always been the greatest rock and roll band in the world. It's been a fantastic development. It's life-affirming in a way."
