The Rolling Stones song you're thinking about right now thread

[muppet hi fi]

If I ever met them I'd be like "hey, play "Out of Time", "Dandelion", "She Said Yeah", "Miss Amanda Jones", & "Have You Seen Your Mother".

duh, and "Citadel"

They have done "She's a Rainbow" a couple times, even released a nice albeit truncated live version on the new 'Honk' compilation.

No shit, but as Mick says in that video right before "Rocks Off" and the fan-vote in general - "Half of them I've never heard of, but I'm sure we recorded them..."

haha!

Interesting. Mick (Jagger) escaped Joe's fate, it seems: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity- ... r-14246754

Say what you will about Jagger, I watched a bit of the new Netflix Stones piece and he's as good a frontman as ever he was.

Are there actually people who dispute this?

ETA: I totally read this incorrectly. I thought you said "as there ever was." Nevermind.

I dispute what you thought Maj had said. I like the Stones despite Jagger rather than because of him. It's like watching an aerobics class rather than a rock and roll show at times. If Keith Richards could have sang Jagger's parts whilst playing guitar I would have found them a more attractive proposition.

So I'm guessing you don't rate James Brown, Tina Turner or Prince either?

I've wondered if it's more that Jagger adapted his moves to play to folks in the nosebleed seats with the opera glasses once they started playing stadiums. Someone should remind him that now it's all broadcast on the big screen(s) & he doesn't need to do that any more, and sometimes less is more.

Tbh, not particularly. Prince had a few good songs but released swathes of utter tripe. Tina released all that hokey crap in the 80s like Steamy Windows and Simply the Best. JB was a great singer and dancer but his material never really interested me too much.

I find Richards vocals to be repulsive. I recognize Jagger isn't a good vocalist, but there is a weird appeal for me. When Jagger comes in at the beginning of "Salt of the Earth" after Richards' part, it's like a breath of fresh air. Plus he has had a lot of great lyrics over the years.

I actually like Jagger's singing, it's more his stagecraft that turns me off. I don't really like Keith's vocals either, I was trying to make the point that if Keith had Mick's singing voice and fronted the band, I would have liked them more.

I also like Mick's singing. Keith I can take in small doses - but he's clearly not a singer. Sure, Mick's stage persona is over the top - sometimes to a fault - but it's become his stock in trade. I've only seen them live once - back in 1994 - and I was honestly impressed with Mick. He's definitely a showman.

Tho I'm aware that without Jagger it wouldn't be the same band, I'm certain I'd like them more without his voice or his strutting bullshit. Grant him/them their historical significance, but with a few exceptions, their work does el zilcho for me. Most of the time, I'd prefer Cage's 4.33.

Gotcha. I'm fine with Mick as a front man and as others have stated, he has held up super well on a physical level as a front man.

Tina released all that hokey crap in the 80s

If I had any photoshop skills I'd put Tina Turner in a hockey uniform.

I was talking about as live performers, as they and Jagger are commonly considered the best ever. And Tina used to play with this little group called the Ike & Tina Tuner Review - you might want to check them out on YouTube or whatever.
And it must be said mate: you really do have some extraordinary musical opinions.

If I'm not keen on their music they won't really interest me as live performers, however many stage drops and high kicks they're doing. And I thought my musical opinions were quite normal til I joined this place!

[Silent Majority]

I love Keith's vocals. More and more as he's aged, too.
