custom55 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I was a freshman in high school at the time of its release :codger: ( Holy sh1t ) . Santa bought me this album for Christmas 1968.

RushFanForever Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I thought I'd share this article with Keith Richards discussing 'Street Fighting Man' a week before his 70th birthday a few years ago below. Keith Richards: 'I Had a Sound in My Head That Was Bugging Me' If you click the link, a paywall may come up. However if you copy the title of the article into Google as a search and then click it, the piece comes up in full to read.

Syrinx Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This album and the next few are the reason the Stones are the greatest rock and roll band ever!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Favorite Stones album... or maybe Goat's Head Soup. December '68? I just turned 2 years old. December as a high school freshman would have been '81, I think. Tattoo You era Stones and in my opinion their last great album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Steel Wheels and A Bigger Bang, but are they "great" Stones albums? Certainly not on Tattoo You's level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 'Tattoo You' is comprised of outtakes. Producer Chris Kimsey salvaged 'Start Me Up' that Keith Richards initially wrote-off. The 'Voodoo Lounge' (1994) album is an underrated classic album. In all fairness, it should be up there with the rest of the classics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystal Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I was watching a special about Keith Richards this morning. He wrote 4 of the band's best albums when he was strung out on drugs, specifically heroin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Voodoo Lounge is great as is Tattoo You but no the era around Exile is unrivalled - even by VH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The old Beatles vs Stones argument. The Beatles are historic in their importance in music - not just rock. They will be remembered a century from now, like the great composers of the past. But for me personally, I will take the Stones any time over the Beatles. Their music has always meant more to me and appealed to me more than the Beatles. That being said I was a little too young to get caught up in Beatlemania and when they broke up I was just really getting into music, so I understand the devotion to the Beatles that so many have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Thought about buying Beggars Banquet at the record store today, but unfortunately only copy they had is the overpriced 50th anniversary edition with a bonus 12 inch of Sympathy For The Devil b/w Mick saying hello on Japanese radio or something. I mean, that's cool, but it's not 47 bucks cool. I'll be keeping an eye out for anything under 20 though. Great album.

There's only a couple of Beatles albums I'll listen to anymore, one of them incidentally a 1968 release. I was in high school during the early '80's during the Beatles revival and bought a stack of their records. I soon tired of most of them. The Stones just have more staying power with me.

ReRushed Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Why is a thread entitled Happy 50th Beggars Banquet a Beatles vs. Stones topic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 hmm let me think. Someone brought up the string of Beatles lps and said that output was better. I and others disagree. And so I brought up one of the oldest "rivalries" in music. Hey sometimes these threads take a left turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
