As I stated previously somewhere, listening to the rolling stones make me appreciate how good The Beatles were.

Rolling Stones Sucked ????

Wow. Just when I think I have .infoers figured out.

Their early stuff is great and Keith Richards is the man when it comes to writing really cool guitar riffs.

Not a huge fan but I would never use the word suck

I was only a casual Stones fan until I saw them at their unannounced show at Toad\'s Place in the summer of 1989.  Don\'t know what their energy is like these days, but at that show, I was schooled in how straight up rock should be played.  Their feel and groove was spectacular and I gained heeps of respect for them.

Of course, I can understand why fans of high musicianship and technical skill would think they suck.  They aren\'t skilled technicians.   But, like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, there\'s something to be said about the redeeming value of soul and feel. And Keith is saturated with it....

The Stones kick ass.  Granted, I love love love the Beatles, but the Stones are amazing as well.

Can\'t You Hear Me Knocking, Dead Flowers, Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter and thats not even scratching the surface.  the Beatles are a pop band that got a little rock and rolly at times.  the Stones are Rock and Roll personified.

Love Painted Black, but that\'s probably because it was in every Vietnam movie or tv show ever made - and that\'s all I watched as a kid.  I personally don\'t hate them, I just can\'t stand Jagger\'s voice after 30 seconds.  And I don\'t understand how people put them on the same level as The Beatles...it\'s not even close.

Paint It Black is a fantastic song, but Eric Burdon & the New Animals did the definitive version of it - they take it to planes the Stones couldn\'t even dream about.

I have to admit to liking a lot of the Stones\' hits, but the actual albums drag and Jagger\'s voice, as has been said, is irritating, so I\'ve never replaced any of my vinyl and cassette copies from 25 years ago, other than buying the greatest hits on CD.

Now the Pretty Things on the other hand, they were (and are) still all about real rock \'n\'roll and their antics in the day made the Stones look like the Take That of the r\'n\'b scene. Then, when they went psychedelic and produced \'SF Sorrow\' and then \'Parachute\', they eclipsed everything the Stones ever did. And to think that Dick Taylor left the Stones to go to college because he thought they weren\'t going anywhere... he may have lost the chance of fame and fortune, but at least retained his artistic integrity.

Ah, I \'m just trying to annoy dianna much like when I hugged her while wearing a youk jersey. I like a couple of the songs from the early 60\'s like off of my cloud and mothers little helper, but overall they just do nothing for me. I\'ve said it before, I could condense their entire catalog to 2 cd\'s worth of awesome music I like. The rest of it I could care less about.

Their catalog is HUGE so their is def. some shit in there.  That said Exile is everything a rock album should be. The Mick Taylor years (1969-1974) produced their best material by far.

Someone once me that you can\'t truly understand the Beatles until you\'ve been in love.  I agree.

I\'d like to add that you can\'t truly understand the Rolling Stones until you\'ve fucked up your life from pure recklessness.
