A black (sorry to play identity politics) senior petty officer AT3 Greer back in '92 told me, "Man, the stones got SOUL". You know?, Eric Greer wasn't wrong.
kinda like The Rolling Stones now, even though a lot of their popular stuff is and was over-played.

I like the Stones but they are sloppy musicians. The Standells covers of several of their songs are much better.

Never hated them, never loved them. Some good songs but mostly "you have to love them because they've hung around for 80 years".

I used to hate them also except for Give Me Shelter. I don't care who you are, that's a great song. I had a Pink Floyd pandora channel that I used to listen to over night and it kept playing the Stones and the Who, two bands I despised. They really grew on me after a while.
I have not delved much deeper than radio songs though. |

Dance (pt 1)  Dance (pt 1) (Remastered 2009) One of my favorite memories about the stones was a kid in my HS drafting class playing Stones on the classroom jambox. I asked if he was a fan and he relied that he wasn't but his older brother was and that he bought every single person in his family a copy of Undercover for Christmas. His mom and dad were super pissed My wife has seen all their "final tours" This tune is a horror show wordpainting Undercover of the night  Rolling Stones - Undercover Of The Night Hear the screams of center 42 Loud enough to bust your brains out The oppositions tongue is cut in two Keep off the street cause you're in danger One hundred thousand disparus Lost in the jails in south america Cuddle up baby Cuddle up tight Cuddle up baby Keep it all out of sight Undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover of the night The sex police are out there on the streets Make sure the pass laws are not broken The race militia has got itchy fingers All the way from new york back to Africa Cuddle up baby Keep it all out of sight Cuddle up baby Sleep with all out of sight Cuddle up baby Keep it all out of sight Undercover Undercover Undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover of the night All the young men they've been rounded up And sent to camps back in the jungle And people whisper people double-talk And once proud fathers act so humble All the young girls they have got the blues They're heading on back to center 42 Keep it undercover Keep it all out of sight Keep it undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover of the night Down in the bars the girls are painted blue Done up in lace, done up in rubber The johns are jerky little g.i. joes On r&r from cuba and russia The smell of sex, the smell of suicide All these things I can't keep inside Undercover Keep it all out of sight Undercover of the night Undercover of the night Undercover of the night Undercover Undercover Undercover of the night |

Many years ago, I was living up north for months at a time building cabins. It was just me and a native buddy helping me during the week. Dave came on the weekends to help. I only brought about 10 cd's with me, and they got old fast. There were no radio stations to speak of. I asked Dave if he could bring me some cd's to listen to the next weekend.
Well, he did. The next weekend he brought me a paper shopping bag stuffed full of cd's, and every single one of them was the stones. Seriously... A full shopping bag of nothing but the stones. I knew Dave was a stones fan, but holy shit, dude... I already liked their music, but I liked them more the more I listened to them, and I listened to them A LOT for many weeks. Thanks to goofy Dave, I'll always be a stones fan. |

Not a Stone's fan. Never was really.
Don't own any of their music and rarely would I add anything to any sort of playlist from them. That being said, as I've gotten older I'm coming to appreciate what made them great. They're......"cool". They're music is laid back, cool. Smooth, groovy. Can't you hear me knockin is one of my favorite riffs of all time. The first minute of that song is just fucking 'cool'. You can almost see them just jammin, drinking, smoking, and making rock music. |
