Cover art for Citadel lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Beautiful, poetic capturing of the spirit of modern urban life. A psychedelic rhapsody on the idea of the "citadel", ranging from "big city" imagery right on down to the very core of identity; that we erect the wall between "me" and "you" so we can play the game of individual identity.

And... Add to all that, the fact that Citadel is good old, solid, danceable, tranceable rock'n'roll! I was weaned on this stuff, and I still respond to it!
