Thread: The Rolling Stones - what's so fucking good about them?

I don't like Elvis, The Beatles or The Stones although I would imagine if I was alive at the time they probably would have been a godsend compared to what was around before them.

^ Or after.

Don't get me started on Elvis.

All three are over rated, though The Beatles are the only ones that came anywhere near close to earning their hype, but not enough to make me a fan as such.

I Am The Walrus is a great track, Blackbird ain't bad nor is Free As A Bird, Hey Jude, Michelle, Dear Prudence, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and a coupla others.

Out of the three, The Beatles have enough good material to fill one twelve track album, then again so does Madness but nobody fawns over Suggs and co anymore because despite having an en masse appeal they didn't have the right marketing - unlike the 'Stones' and their silly tongue logo - fokin twats.

Agree in part on the Rolling Stones Scamp, but u sadly underrate The Beatles.

The Who beats them all in my opinion.

Ok, i'll give you that Maddie as you're not wrong... But no more than double disc.

Always preferred The Kinks over The Who. I was always a bit here and there with The Beatles, then I went through a period a few years back where I only listened to them, and it's true, they were the greatest band in the world.

The Kinks piss on The Stones.

If i wasn't so tired I could compile a list of excellent Kinks songs, it would be 70% of their back catalogue.

The Stones lost all credibility when Tony Blair said they were cool.

Clapton is G_D

...and you know it

Well Rolling Stones Magazine lists 14 Stones songs in the The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time : Rolling Stone so they must have had something going for them.

For me, Gimme Shelter. Sympathy for the Devil, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Wild Horses, Brown Sugar are classics.

Hmmm I doubt that Rolling Stone magazine would be biased in any way so it must be true.

If you have to ask Scampy, then you have never understood and you'll never understand.
So it would be a waste of time to explain it for you.

^ We have a fan!

I am astones fan - however, I am a fan of aparticular period of their career.
They did three great albums in a row - and I mean GREAT albums - with every song a winner:

Beggers banguet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers

Some Girls was also ok.

The later stuff is for the old guys....

i know i,m in the wrong post, but i come here to say thet neil young still sucks,
now that i got that out,, only got 1 stones album and thats tattoo you, as for the rest well.. i only got one stones album

Neil young is great! There is a lot of his stuff that doesnt interest me though, I have got the Greatest Hits album.

What do they have to gain by being biased? A similar name but as far as I know they are not financially related enterprises.

How about Rock On The Net: VH1: 100 Greatest Rock Songs: 1-50 then.
1. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
24. Brown Sugar
26. Sympathy For The Devil
65. Jumpin' Jack Flash
83. Start Me Up

I lover the stones as they have personality and staying power.

Also because, Mick Snagger is a champion pants man , keith has snorted more heroin and coke than than every punter in england put together and Charlie for just staying alive.

The Stones rock, man.

I have yet to hear a satisfactory quality Stones track - did they record all their albums in a shoebox or what? I have better quality Tony Bennet.

Sorry, I'm so old, that I've seen the Stones twice in concert, and Mick Jagger, when he was farting around on his own, once. Fucking love em.

So, if you still want to stick that post up someone's arse, you know where I am.
But you better bring Sandra back with you, "cause you're gonna need some help.

Good music all, but my favourite Stones' song has to be 'Paint it Black'.

Keith Richards has to be THE TOUGHEST man of all time, I mean look at the drugs the man has done and survived (although not well!!).
