Tell Me :
Talk
Yup, pretty much!
Me too...
I submit "Someday Never Comes" on CCR's "Mardi Gras" album.
Is Ronnie stopping his solo to catch his sun glasses? around 3:05
That's the other one, yes...This was the last CCR album. The one where Fogerty told the other two members (Tom Fogerty had already left) that they had to come up with their share of the songs, and he refused to do anything other than play guitar on Stu Cook's and Doug Clifford's songs. So, a CCR album with only three Fogerty tunes.
To me it seems or looks more like Ronnie realise he couldn't see the hell he was playing, hence the drift into a key the song does not play in/his wrong notes...and then he gets it back. But probably more likely, he used it as a distraction to get back in key.
Talk about your favorite band.

Agreed this and maybe Harlem Shuffle are the only redeeming qualities of Dirty Work. Maybe Sleep Tonight as well.
I have a question, if Dirty Work never existed, what other album would this song have best been placed on.
Doesn't seem Undercoverish...Steel Wheels maybe? Tattoo You? (no!)

fantastic song, fantastic album
the only non-great songs for me are "winning ugly" and "back to zero"
and they're both pretty good, and both i think exist in better extended more
guitary versions. or at least one of them does.
and the extended harlem shuffle, with the nightmarish string arrangement,
is completely killer.

great studio song but live, the band seemed to have some difficulties to play it well. Just listen to the intro.
They finally rarely played it in 1989. What a pity !

Weak song, on an awful album, in the worst decade in music history. Case closed.

I figured that this would be a thread about great songs on bad albums in general.
That being the case, I'd go with an even better example from roughly the same time period: Brownsville Girl by Bob Dylan on Knocked Out Loaded. Talk about a diamond in a dung heap.

Good song, not great. Good album, but not by Stones standards.
IMO, the title track is better - it rocks more, it's less polished and the playing is stellar.
