+1.  Very nice album.

Much better than her first solo album from 1991, ‘When You’re A Boy’, which was a strong disappointment for me when it came out.

Agreed.  That one was what CBS wanted Hoffs to sound like.   The one we like is what Hoffs wanted to sound like.

Seems as if the conventional wisdom is that Some Girls was the Stones' last "great" album... does Tattoo You qualify for the honor instead?  (and gotta confess I'm not sure I've heard any of the subsequent Stones albums all the way through)  It at least deserves extra credit for the presence of Sonny Rollins.  EDIT:  looking around online a bit leads me to think that perhaps the CW already *is* that the title below is the "last great album."  (And yes, ironic that it's essentially a pulled-together album of 1970s outtakes that Jagger finished off)

I'll take "Exile on Main Street" as their last truly great one.

Last night (via YT):

Ismael Rivera con Kako y Su Orchestra - Lo Ultimo En La Avenida (Tico, 1971)

Craft is reissuing this on 180-gram vinyl in January.  It's on my to-get list.

Plant and Krauss do a nice version of "Can't Let Go" (Randy Weeks) that Lucinda covered so well on Car Wheels

Gorgeous.  Incredible sound and 14 bonus cuts.

Yes! I’ve been listening to this one a lot the past two weeks. 
Right now, the first Smiths album I ever bought (autumn 1984) and still one of my favorites:

A big fan of the Smiths here (and particularly of that album).

With Heroes, perhaps my all time favorite Bowie song.

I would say yes. I like it very much, and it sports their hit Start me up from when I saw them once live in 1982 and with which they opened their shows. And the great Waiting on a friend. After that I didn't care for any new material from them anymore.

That album, though not being a career album (just a comp), is very, very good. And contains some of their best songs. Autumn 84? So early? I thought it was from later on. Their first is also from 1984. So maybe it's a collection of singles.

Definitely one of the best Smiths albums! Looking forward to Johnny Marr's new album, too. Some of it already available for streaming.
