    Jesus - no Sympathy for the Devil.

    WTF is wrong with this place?!?

    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
    Jesus. How old are you?

    I don't have a single Stones song on my playlist if that helps. Or Beatles

    Most overrated band of all time.

    Like DMB for Boomers.

    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.
