This song is 44 years old.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I was in college when this came out. Definitely part of the sound track of my life. Some Girls was a statement that the Stones were still a force.

The singles from Shattered are terrible. Same with Emotional Rescue. Miss You may have been the worst song ever recorded to enter the pop charts, worse than “There’s a New Sound (Worms)”

Sticky Fingers was the last worthwhile thing they did. Gimme Shelter and Tell Me (the long version) were the two best songs they ever did.

Nice flashback. I was in high school when "Some Girls" came out and those photos really bring back what inner cities (not just NYC) looked like in the 1970s. Everything was gritty and a little bit dangerous. At the time, society was said to be crumbling and it seemed like we were in our last days.

The song "Shattered" really brings out the sleaze and decadence that was NYC at the time.

Hardly did we know that we were just a few years away from President Reagan and a booming economy that would continue for decades (with a few hiccups along the way).

How I wish I could go back to 1978, knowing what I know now. Actually 1980 would be a better time to start all over again.

I went decades before learning there was an extended version of Miss You with extra lyrics, etc. I felt robbed and cheated. Some Girls is one of my favorite albums.

Some girls can't give it away on 7th Avenue -- or on the cover:



I still have the original one (not that it shmattas)
