The Beatles seem to be quite popular around here, but how about Rolling Stones, any fans? Not that I exactly am one myself, but I like quite a few of their songs and the albums Sticky Fingers and Their Satanic Majesties Request |

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

I love the Stones right up through Tattoo You, when they were still a relevant creative entity known as a real band. From the late 80s on, they are essentially a Vegas-style cover band of themselves, as many legacy acts get to be in their late years.

Marvellous band. They made some great singles/albums in the 60's in particular.
'Exile On Main Street' from 1972 is probably my most played album by them. Very fond of 'Goat's Head Soup', and 'Some Girls' as well. I'm not so keen on some of the mid to late 80's albums though.

While I would not describe myself as someone who gets my rocks off with the Stones, I do I like the late 60s period, and I have liked all three of these albums very much (especially when I was in my late teens):
1. Let It Bleed 2. Beggars Banquet 3. Their Satanic Majesties Request And lots of great songs, still not tired of "Paint It Black". Big fan of HBO's Westworld, and here is a well-known scene featuring the music. |

I get a lot of Satisfaction from The Rolling Stones, although You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Is it just me, or is "Gimme Shelter" becoming more and more relevant with each passing year?

Their songs from the 60s are more fresher, relevant, and (much) better than anything I've heard in decades.

Beggar's Banquet up through Exile on Main Street. Individual songs here and there on the next couple albums and then I ignored them.

There's disposable material on each of these albums imo. But like with The Beatles, I tend to rate these 1960's Stones' flawed classics higher than the sum of it's parts. Outside of my number one, which I know by heart, I'm quite certain I'll never ever listen to any of my top five in full again. Stones in general are not about albums, for me. But their highs are so high.
Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967) 4,5 stars Beggars Banquet (1968) 4 stars Let It Bleed (1969) 4 stars Aftermath (1966)* 3,5 stars Between the Buttons (1967)** 3,5 stars * & ** - I "accidently", but luckily got familiar with the US versions of these two. Which means that Paint it, Black has always opened Aftermath (unfortunately leaving out Mothers Little Helper), and Between the Buttons kicks off things with the duo of Let's Spend the Night Together and Ruby Tuesday... I'll take the totally lightweight, disco flirting Emotional Rescue over both Sticky Fingers (which does feature a couple of solid tunes) and especially the godawful Exile on Main St. Blues Rock, Country Rock, Roots Rock = not my bag at all. Exile sound like the birth of Pub Rock to me. I'd rather listen to German Schlagers or Eurodance... or a dental drill. |
