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.

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!!).

well done Gus, i was about to post this and say you missed a chance to call the scamp a COCK, but then i saw it, sneaky, i like it!

Look at any of the many polls or rock historian opinions and the Stones are usually in the top five.

Bands I would rate higher: Led Zeppelin (1st place) Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Allman Brothers. So, in my opinion, they would rank 7th. That's still pretty damn good.

I like the early Stones, best albums -

1966 Aftermath, best songs: Paint it Black, Lady Jane, Under my Thumb. Yeah, I was 11 years old when my older brother bought it.

And, of course, Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass -best songs: all of them, esp. Get off my Cloud, 19th nervous breakdown. Satisfaction, of course.

That album was a turning point, it was the best of their work before their music entered a very dark, antisocial phase during the peak of the Vietnam War.

bkkmadness · 16-03-2008, 06:03 PM

You gotta love that British music haven't you Chinthee.

The Who and The Rolling Stones, a tough call but I have to say the Stones gets it. Loved the Quadrophenia soundtrack though, good film too.

The Gentleman Scamp · 16-03-2008, 06:31 PM

What about Madness?

bkkmadness · 16-03-2008, 06:53 PM

I'm here Scamp, don't panic.

(bet no one expected that joke).

Madness were alright, knocked out some good sing-a-long tunes, hardly a classic band though.

^^^ I like their song 'House of Fun', but why are we talking about a Ska band, mostly big in the 1980's. Hardly a monster of rock.

The Stones are amongst the all time greats. I personally don't quite rate them at the pinnacle, because of the variability of their music. Some of their albums were great, some just OK. Live, they were virtually unparrallelled at their peak.

They commonly use a taut guitar technique, especially on their rockier numbers, which gives them that sort of 'garage band' sound. That is deliberate, not bad production.

I don't know how you can say songs like this are crap scampy-

Gimme Shelter
Sympathy for the Devil
Heartbreaker
Under my Thumb
As Tears go By
Brown sugar
Paint it black
jumping Jack Flash

They wrote virtually all of their stuff too.

chinthee · 16-03-2008, 07:26 PM

Even though I only rate them 7th all time, I would rate them among the two greatest influencing bands of all time on rock, along with the Beatles.

Those two biggies really opened the music to a global audience. In terms of early British rock, I like the Kinks, the Dave Clarke Five, the Yardbirds, Animals, etc., better.

**Moody Blues, probably the best British band ever.

Gimme Shelter is ok until the gobby twat starts to sing... The production quality is dire though as in all their stuff.

I spent a weekend with with this couple once, in South London. They only had Beatles and Stones records, or the radio. I tended to give both bands a wide birth, for years, rediscovering The Beatles later in life. However, I did grow to like 'Their Satanic Majesties Request'. My favorite track was Bill Wyman's 'In another land'. Interesting production and a jolly amazing cover.

Another Stones fan here. Green for Blake7 - not for an informative post but for sharing the same taste. 3 of the best albums ever.

jizzybloke · 18-03-2008, 04:18 AM

I am a fan of The Stones too but i'm too young to know a lot of stuff from first time round, i get a buzz out of hearing something old for the first time then finding out who it was and finding more of there work.
