I couldn't get my list any shorter than about 45. So here's the list of just the ones that start with the letter "S"
Saint of Me Send it to me She's So Cold Shine a Light Silver Train Slave Slipping Away Soul Survivor Street Fighting Man Stupid Girl Sway Sweet Black Angel Sweet Virginia Sympathy for the Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul to waste And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
Any group that makes Bulgakov references can't be all bad. I also like You Can't Always Get What You Want, because I used to quote it when my kids were little and complained about stupid kid stuff. But seriously, saw them in '65, didn't think they were anything special

Great analogy. They really were shit. They had a couple of decent tracks, but when you have twenty albums you're going to have a few toe tappers by default.
I like the stones, but I agree that they get a lot of extra credit just for being the Cal Ripkens of rock. People say " they're still going strong 50 years later."
Well, not really. They haven't put out anything halfway decent in about 35 years (I think Some Girls was around '83). Even in their prime, their albums usually had a couple hits along but a lot of unmemorable tracks.
They certainly had a lot of great songs, but their batting average is significantly lower than their contemporaries due to how much material they have released.
Some Girls was '78 but you're about right on the number of years since last relevance- i.e., 1981 (Tatto You), so 36 years. I wonder how different their legacy might be if they had hung it up in the early 80's due to Mick or Keith dying or something. They has something like 19 or 20 albums between 1964 and 1981 and only about 3 to 4 of these aren't "essential".
One thing that's always cracked my shit up about arguing music here, is how many folks there are that love, say, Led Zeppelin and The Who, but fucking hate the Stones and the Beatles. I love them ALL. I literally own fucking Zep, Stones, Beatles, Who, Bowie, Neil Young, Kinks, Dylan, Sabbath, AC DC, Creedence, Allman Brothers, Floyd, Skynyrd, Dead, Stooges, Velvet Underground, et al, album that was ever released.
I've even given Styx a second look do to DDY getting some of those songs stuck in my head.

Call me Classic Rock Slut.

Yes, that's much better. You've got to be a pretty shitty band of that era for me not to be a slut and have a listen.

Call me Classic Rock Superiority asshole guy.
I thought Keith died along time ago - watching stones videos was got me to like zombies - Keith being the lead zombie player
Today my wife introduced me to a female co-worker saying "this is my husband"
I said "Actually I'm her gay brother....I'm a Eurofag soccer player..."
That's taking HH into the real world !!!
This has already been decided by a fellow rowing fag - i.e., BearsWin. Moving forward, I am to be referred to as Classic Rock Slut, in these types of discussions.
I don't have a single Stones song on my playlist if that helps. Or Beatles
I concur that the Beatles are the most overrated band in the history of bands.
That would be U2, but you were close
The judges would also have accepted REM and Oasis
I once thought this article had a pretty decent list. Might not agree with all of the selections and I think it's possible to believe a band to be overrated and still like some of their songs. This is generally how I feel about the U2's, Pearl Jams, Tom Petty's, etc of the world. http://www.laweekly.com/music/top-20-worst-bands-of-all-time-the-complete-list-2403868
