Reply to I don't like Lana Del Rey but I don't know why by JunFerra

Cat power, Mitski, Bar For Lashes, all do that shtick better, without the weird tragic poet/artisté thingy that all the goth girls wanted to be in HS, I enjoy ride, & a few of her other songs, but I can't have her on all day, maybe it's better when you got someone to hold onto though

The Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street was famously recorded (mostly) in a villa in the South of France that guitarist Keith Richards rented. The Stones were exiled from England over taxes and Keith had problems going abroad due to drug charges. So they went to France. Long story short the Stones recorded their famous album in a mansion’s basement. It was very difficult (the instruments would go out of tune due to he humidity) and you can hear it on the album.

Also, it was one long non-stop party of epic and infamous proportions. Keith bought a huge supply of morphine from Marseille (then the heroin Capitol of the world). Gangsters, playboys, celebrities. It was legendary. Photos are online.

Edit: after months of recording the Stones received a tip that the cops were coming to bust them so they fled just in time.

Is It Wicked Not To Care?

Lazy Line Painter Jane

Dress Up in You

Asleep On a Sunbeam

For the Price of a Cup of Tea

Waiting For the Moon To Rise

Women's Realm

Family Tree

Beyond the Sunrise

Reclaim the Night

These are the ones I could find. There may be more though. Honestly, I only remembered the first song and thought their vocals were mostly female driven, but it looks like they have a good amount of male vocal songs. A couple of these are duets. Hope you enjoy them.

And I would definitely look into Lana Del Rey if you haven’t (I think another poster mentioned her). Her voice is amazing.

I think it is a song that reflects a time period and a style of music pretty well.

It's like Take On Me from A-Ha. It isn't by far the best song of the 80s, but it has the vibes of that period.

There is a great magazine article from about 15 years ago that detailed the recording sessions. The band would arrive to the studio in the evening. There would be a huge spread of food. They would eat a little then drink and snort cocaine until they were so messed up they couldn’t speak. Then they’d start recording.
