Rolling Stones

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

I remember seeing the Stones on TV and explaining to my kids, "Those guys are older than grandpa."

 

[Dick Whitman]

Went to the eye doctor today and after getting those nasty drops that dilate your pupils walking home in the blazing mid day sun was no treat.

Immediately brought to mind what might be my fave line in any Stones song:

"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me."

As stated earlier in the thread, my kid loves that song. Makes me play it like 15 times in a row in the car.

My wife one day says, "I just realized that our son's favorite song has the f-word in it. Great."

 

[Bubbler]

Tumbling Dice is the greatest song ever recorded.

 

[albert77]

1. Soul Survivor
2. Live With Me
3. Jumpin' Jack Flash
4. 19th Nervous Breakdown
5. Under My Thumb
After that, in no particular order:
Sympathy For The Devil; Salt Of The Earth; Monkey Man; Can't You Hear Me Knockin'; Stop Breakin' Down; Get Off My Cloud; The Last Time; Midnight Rambler.

 

[I Should Coco]

They've never topped "Satisfaction," but have had a whole lot of fun, drugs, chicks, etc. trying.

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "All Down the Line" are damn good songs.

And one of their all-time funniest lines, from the 1980s era: "I was a butcher, cutting up meat."

I'll disagree about "Miss You" and "Shattered," though. Those songs make me change the radio station pronto.

 

[93Devil]

How great are the Stones? I hope I am not ****ing this up when I type this, but we are on page two of this thread and have not even mentioned...

 

[Frank_Ridgeway]

Hot Stuff.

 

[Bubbler]

Hot Stuff.

Never let 'em say that Frank "Disco Pants" Ridgeway doesn't like his Stones' disco.

 

[YGBFKM]

As I grow older and inevitably wiser, I find there is not a single Stones song I want to listen to.

 

[Greenhorn]

Monkey Man.

 

[93Devil]

As I grow older and inevitably wiser, I find there is not a single Stones song I want to listen to.

You would if they were not popular.

 

[Shoeless Joe]

Sympathy for the Devil
Can't You Hear Me Knockin
Gimme Shelter
Paint It Black
(in any order)

 

[albert77]

Led Zeppelin still pwns the Stones, for the record.

In their dreams.

Although LZ had the good sense to hang it up when John Bonham died. The Stones have spent most of the past 30 years becoming caricatures of their old selves.

But in their prime, from 1968-72, they really were the greatest rock-and-roll band in the world.

 

[YGBFKM]

As I grow older and inevitably wiser, I find there is not a single Stones song I want to listen to.

You would if they were not popular.

I listen to my share of popular music. As long as it's good.

 

[Starman]

Brown Sugar
Child of the Moon
Sitting on a Fence (extended version)
Sympathy
Gimme Shelter
Shattered
Paint It Black
Mother's Little Helper
Satisfaction
2000 Light Years From Home

And of course their first charting single, a throwaway bequeathed to them by their Big Brothers,
I Wanna Be Your Man.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Led Zeppelin still pwns the Stones, for the record.

Agreed.

 

[Starman]

Nah.

Zep fights it out with The Who for No. 4 on the all-time totem pole.

 

[TigerVols]

The Clash>The Who>The Stones>..................999. Led Zep.

 

[Starman]

The Clash is down around 7-8-9. Burned out too fast.

 

[Boom_70]

The Clash>The Who>The Stones>..................999. Led Zep.

The Kinks should be on that list somewhere.
