The Rolling Stones

The stones are my favorite band and probably always will be. It's that raw, earthy quality..everything just comes from the heart! I can't really put into worRAB what I like about them but if I was on a desert island and could listen to only one band, it would most definitely be the rolling stones
 
non of there albums caught my ears attention.. there sound bugs me.. mick jaggers voice bugs me. Song writing is alright.. but still the song isn't great is there isn't a voice to back it up.. much like..

working class hero - john lennon..

that there is a great song.. the writing is amazing.. but john lennons voice just doesn't cut it for me.. he is a great singer just not in that song. and to me thats what the stones are like all of the time.
 
They're easily among my favourite ever artists too. I actually listen to their 70s material more than the 60s stuff, but that's more because all I have of the latter are Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed and Aftermath. Those three, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Some Girls and half of Goat's Head Soup have been convincing enough for me down the years though.

My favourite song of theirs changes from day to day, but at the minute it's probably this one;

^ One those songs that just has to played really, really loud.
 
Thats^some good stuff BullDog! I had to go and listen to some Stones after hearing it.
A couple of songs I have to listen to when I go through my collection is,
Gimme Shelter.
Under My Thurab.
and my favorite, Your Love Is Strong.
RicharRAB guitar parts are just so damn good, and I love the way the Stones incorporated the harmonica into their music.
 
i know there one of the greatest rock banRAB ever.... BUT! i don't like them and never have. I am in fact one of the biggest Stone haters in the world.. I don't understand why people like them so much.. there's nothing overly great about them.. well at least in my eyes..

there songs aren't that great
mick jagger is annoying
mick jaggers voice isn't really that great
mick jagger has a annoying show now(could have just been a doc tho..not sure but either way).. and him and his daughters were singing on it and non of them could sing at all.. there were just random mouse liek sounRAB and random 'ooohs' and 'yeas' coming out of jaggers mouth it was so stupid.
that other guy in the band.. the drunk one.. ew i don't get it.. he also isn't that great...
there songs aren't overly great... but i can understand why people would like there songs..
there old now.. and they shoudl realize that... there still milking the cow.. only the cow has been dead for years.. they've milked bessy dry... *crise* poor cow.
this band really buggers me..

anyways i know i shall get jumped all over for this.. but hell its all just MY opinion and we all know how well my thoughts are welcomed around here.
 
I have become addicted to their song 'Waiting on a Friend'

Usually I go for their more rough and turable stuff but oh this song is just perfect for lounging out in the sun when you're wanting something a little softer. The lyrics are just superb. Its songs like these that just makes me wish I could marry Mick Jagger.
