My top 10 Rolling Stones songs
Comments
-
I'm a moderate fan of The Who. I liked Zeppelin a lot for like six months in college. They're good to listen to once in a while now. I've always thought The Beatles, while certainly talented and very influential, were hugely overrated. To me it's a music snob thing. Stones have maybe 12 really good songs, but they're overrated too.YellowSnow said:
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".bananasnblondes said:
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."Mosster47 said:
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.ThomasFremont said:Most overrated band of all time.
Like DMB for Boomers.
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.
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 Superiority asshole guy. -

So now you want to be called "Bluto", but it has to seem like someone else's idea...YellowSnow said:
Well if I don't get to pick my nickname then there better be a fuck ton of cheap beer, toga parties and three chord garage rock.tenndawg said:

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.tenndawg said:CLASSIC ROCK SUPERIORITY ASSHOLE GUY...
Nice try - but you are still "Rowing Fag"
÷÷÷==÷÷==
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 !!!
And besides - Bears Win proposed name is nothing special
If you can't stand The Eagles or U2 we may be able to work something out... -
