Rod in Toronto Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ok guys...considering the little amount of love for the Rolling Stones on TRF, I realize how ambitious it might be to expect a huge number of replies to this topic. But I just got their whole discography on mp3 as a "gift" from my intern, and am surprised at how many great non-obvious-or-played-to-death songs they have. Here´s my list of favourites so far: Hot StuffFingerprint FileLuxuryCan´t Be SeenBitchHappyHand of Fate - addictive riff alert!When the Whip Comes DownWanna Hold YouShe´s So ColdBeast of BurdenToo ToughHang Fire Any others you can think of?

Lorraine Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I always loved the Stones more than the Beatles (runs for cover under the nearby table in case any TRF members start throwing stuff at me).

J2112YYZ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Beast Of Burden, Sympathy For The Devil and Wild Horses aren't deep cuts. Those were huge hits for them. Now, my dad is a huge Rolling Stones fan and I grew up listening to all the old vinyls he had of theirs which was pretty much every album from when they started up through the early 80s. I can list many great deep cuts from them.

Rod in Toronto Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Like Lorraine, I prefer the Stones...I know the Beatles influenced 99% of the bands I like, but I just can´t get into them. I jujst noticed how many Stones songs with Keith on vocals are among my favourites: Happy, Before they Make Me Run, Wanna Hold You, Slipping Away...I don´t know why I like these songs so much. They sound dated, his voice is horribly out of tune, and the riffs are really tacky on some of them, but I just can´t resist them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Why does the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones comparison always come up? What's it got to do with liking the music? I think it´s because their stories are kind of parallel, and the British press always fed the rivalry between them - they did the same with Oasis and Blur in the 90´s. But in my book it´s ok to like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Why does the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones comparison always come up? What's it got to do with liking the music? Who is comparing them? It is a preference. I mentioned them because TRF is filled with those who love The Beatles. I don't know that I've ever seen a thread here on the Stones.

I bet more of us here prefer the Who to the Beatles or the Stones. I'm not trying to start anything or hijack the thread. I just find it curious that the Stones can't be brought up without comparing them to the Beatles. Maybe some of it has to do with the Stones bascially remaining a blues based band that tended to avoid the more "progressive" side of popular music? Back the Stones...

Rod in Toronto Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 I love this song, but isn´t it the tackiest guitar sound ever? I can´t help but think of those "band x shreds" videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
