It has many really good cover versions on it, some I'm liking more than the originals. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Physical-Graffiti-Redrawn/release/6830620 and this. This too. I loved Michael Kiwanuka's take on Ten Years Gone on that MOJO CD. Edited January 20, 2019 by Mook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the whole thing is rather good. I liked it so much I bought two copies and the vinyl. I only recently got my turntable upgraded/repaired so the vinyl had been sitting there for over two years unplayed, that has been well remedied now.

I'll need to dig that MOJO CD out again, not listened to it for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't listen to the studio version of Midnight Rambler after hearing the ya ya version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and throw in every Stones album post 1980. They basically disappeared until Voodoo Lounge spawned one decent track. Babylon also only had two radio tracks (neither of which rivals Presence). I mean, I'm not trying to purposely crap on the band, but they've been musically insignificant since "Start Me Up." All opinion of course. I think I mentioned Tattoo you as a joke, isn't a great album at all. I bought it when it came out and the only track I liked was neighbors. I don't know why I didn't elaborate a bit more. Tattoo you doesn't even come close to the influences on PG or the visceral emotions of Presence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Start Me Up, Hang Fire, Little T&A, Neighbors, Waiting On A Friend, etc... I’ve always enjoyed Tattoo You. Comparing them to Zeppelin is pointless. Totally different, everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Very interesting in regards to the playabilty as a record vs being blown away by just one song....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the live LP Still Life followed shortly after. I remember these being monsters on Chicago radio stations like the WLUP and WMET at the time. Tattoo You is one of my fav Stones records. However, the album art work is absolutely horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Stones, but I don’t rate them at all post Mick Taylor Agree 100%. No disrespect to Brian Jones (RIP) or Ronnie Wood, but the Mick Taylor-era Stones were at their pinnacle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 With first listens of both albums...i wonder how many zep fans even listened to the 2nd physical graffiti album back in 1975. I am thinking after the first record, your done.....or wanting to go back to listen to the first record. Then for those that listened to the 2nd album they probably felt that there were some sleepers, after the first record. Not that there arent sleepers on the the 1st record, i think physical graffiti takes more time to appreciate than the other records being that its a double album and its maximum to eleven. So its hard to compare it to a record that flows much better as another type of rock record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a long time to get into it, it being so long. I remember thinking though (still do) it was nowhere near as good as HOTH.

I have always thought about how kashmir would sound bright and more light, like how houses sounds. Yes the whole album would sound different brighter, but the main epic kashmir seemed to be the most affected by the sound quality of the record.

marcio614 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 i want that you know that the physical graffitti is much superior being all good songs and being far superior technically, perfect in acoustic songs, light songs and heavy songs this is sure and thank you.

bishlap Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The Stones and Zep are nothing like each other. I've gone thru a major Stones stage and a major Zep stage and love them both. What's odd for me is knowing generally the Stones had a more rhythmic dance/boogie vibe, but NOW when I listen to PG specifically, that album makes me MOVE! Keith once said (paraphrasing) music has got to hit you in the nuts, Graffitti does just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zep covers never did anything for me. Hearing TYG performed here makes me think/ask, has any Zep tune aged better than Ten Years Gone? What if TYG was on LZ4 instead of Stairway and vise versa?
