Give it up for this forgotten rock gem by Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.

I can see why it got forgotten.

What are you talking bout Lenny ol boy? State of Shock is brilliant... Two legends goofing off with their tongues firmly placed in their cheeks. One of the few 80s rock tracks that doesn't take itself too seriously... Edited by Towelie

Just mean it sounds like goofing off, quite apart from highlighting the gulf in talent between Jacko and Mick.

Jacko. On his own or in a Stones context Jagger shines but stick him up there with like, the true son of the type of style Jagger spent his career trying to knock off and he just sounds like a really earnest fan doing his best take on 'x'. He over accentuates the Americanisms and all the vocal nuances of a typical RnB vocalist of that era to where, in direct comparison as this song lays out, it kinda clangs a bit, in my opinion. Whereas with Jacko it sounds like its natural as taking a shit. A weetabix and prunes shit :lol:

Jagger is five million types better than Jacko.

Jagger appeals to me more but pound for pound, like aspect for aspect, dancer for dancer, voice for voice, fuck that, Jacko wees all over him. The fact that i don't like what Jacko did as much as The Stones is my personal taste, Stones went in a direction that interests me, Jacko didn't...plus Micks work is kinda augmented within its proper context, which for me is The Stones, Jackos just one guy...or he was after he left the Five.
