The Rolling StonesSome Girls

Lean, mean, and snapping with energy, 1978's comeback answered punk and disco by beating both at their own game. 'Miss You' pulses on a four-on-the-floor groove and Jagger's falsetto come-on, while 'Beast of Burden' slinks with tender, conversational soul. 'Shattered' rattles through New York grime on a stuttering riff, and 'Respectable' tears past at breakneck speed. Razor-sharp and vital. The last great Stones album.
