True and crazy to say because Keef didn't even play on it Jagger played electric rhythm guitar the first time ever on it

I like their deep cuts alot and do not subscribe to the take that they're only a hits band

you mean the public's pantheon (which is more "hits" based anyway)? maybe but its not even that far off and surely one can't deny the maturity and depth of Gimme Shelter putting it ahead of Satisfaction in some ways. not exactly a slouch in terms of cultural relevance either

from acclaimedmusic aggregate of critics rankings, Satisfaction is #10 all time while Gimme Shelter is #34. both are obviously in the top canon. i think most diehard stones fans would take gimme shelter over it though

also proves my point that Satisfaction's place in the pantheon far outweighs Out of Our Heads, which is still great and yes i like the deeper cuts too

im not meaning to call them a hits band only, obviously goats all around

but which is a stronger case for them being the goat rock band. their top 10 albums, or their top 25ish songs? its gotta be the songs

for me they have some 8-8.5/10 albums which contain absolute top tier songs

Vancouvers main rock radio station did a big poll back in the day and Under My Thumb got voted their best song

rvi

5y

yeah also top tier for me, could even crack top 5

im sure its overplayed for you or something but Jumpin Jack Flash is top 3

Elric

5y

Why not both? Add their touring history and you have the full picture

Elric

5y

Nope that one could never be overplayed the not-missing link between their psych phase and dark lord phase is f***in flawless

rvi

5y

yes im not denying both are great but just saying one is clearly a stronger case

theyre not a "hits band" but they just happen to have the greatest catalogue of hits in rock history

are there any good Stone documentaries besides Stones in Exile

you haven’t seen the gimme shelter one?

Elric

5y

Do they? hadn't thought about it really

Atlienz

are there any good Stone documentaries besides Stones in Exile

rvi

5y

yeah they probably do tbh

obviously beedles is probably a good choice but feel like they have a few less. and ofc so many of the goat rock bands either have a shorter period of goatness compared to Stones, or are much less singles focused ie Floyd or something. kinda makes sense when you consider that 60s rock was more singles oriented than 70s rock so the goat singles catalogue is probably one who was at least partially in the 60s

Atlienz

oh besides that one too

internet buddy

Cocksucker Blues

Elric

5y

Yeah and nobody else from the 60s was pulling up with hits like miss you and start me up 15-20 years into their career
