My favorite Rolling Stones song


Recommended Posts

always thought salt of the earth was really underrated

 

The Stones have a lot of great underrated tunes. They got so many huge hits that most of their other stuff just goes unnoticed.

 

Paint It, Black and Sympathy For The Devil are my favorites though.

The problem with the Rolling Stones is they're a singles band/odd album track band. There's not one album, including their big 1968-72 quartet, that you can listen to all the way through without wearing out the skip button on your CD player!

That is true. All their albums do have a some tracks you always skip. But I think they make up for by making the good tracks the best they can be. I may skip half of Beggar's Banquet when I listen to it but Sympathy For The Devil, No Expectations, Jig-Saw Puzzle, Street Fighting Man and Salt Of The Earth are all so good that it doesn't matter to me that I find the rest of the album so-so.

definitely true, but that said, they have a HELL of a lot of great tracks.

 

AND, the compilations Flowers and Hot Rocks 1964-1971 are flawless - yeah, Flowers is a comp and Hot Rocks a (double album) best of, but they're both genius.

But it's true. Name one album that's non-skipped then. Soooo overrated :popcorn:

Even the greatest hits albums have duds you have to skip though, though to be fair they're mostly full of good or great tracks.

I have never skipped a track on:

 

Aftermath

Beggars Banquet

Let It Bleed

Sticky Fingers

Exile On Main St.

Some Girls

 

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, bitches.

Wyman/Watts is one of the great rock and roll rhythm sections. :notworthy:

 

Here's two of my Stones favourites. And, I think Sticky Fingers comes as close possible to a completely listenable Stones album.

 

This one's just a great riff.

Great groove on this song. I love Charlie's drumming. Can't you hear him knocking?
