The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup (0893968) LP

Released in 1973, Goats Head Soup stands as one of The Rolling Stones’ most intriguing and versatile albums. Coming after the run of masterpieces that defined their early 1970s output, it captures the band at a point of transition, mixing swaggering rock and roll with moments of introspection and soulful melody.

The album opens with the brooding “Dancing With Mr. D,” setting the tone with its dark atmosphere, before moving through highlights such as the funky “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker),” the reflective “100 Years Ago,” and the controversial rocker “Star Star.” At its heart lies “Angie,” a haunting ballad that became a worldwide hit and one of the Stones’ most enduring songs.
