Under my thumb anyone? Kinda depressing, but still my favourite stones song since I first heard it. Golly I hope they play... and to get a resale ticket.

Starts off with really loud screaming from the audience so you might want to turn it down a bit

I meant I don't rate the Beatles and I'm not a Radiohead fan, no.

An if someone could share their top 5 Stones songs so I can go and check them out, I'd appreciate it. 22 albums is a bit daunting.

[jimmyt]

Listen to Rubber f**king Soul. Perfect f**king pop album!

So is Rubber Soul Revolver, Sgt Pepper and The White Album.

[The Nal]

What impeccable taste in The Beatles. Although I'm very fond of Abbey Road as well. But Rubber Soul IS the best.

no it's not, it's shit

ahhh ... a one-sound stones man I see. The stones manage to discover there was more than that, and so should you.

[1waveydavey]

I'll throw in "Miss You" Stones go disco! Fantastic tune.

I'm a big Stones fan so take it as read I love everything that's been mentioned but if you move away from the obvious rock and roll / blues hybrid then Miss You is well worth a listen.

Also, why not mention "Shine a Light" from Exile, now that's a tune...

[eFestivals]

they never did disco or funk particularly well..... actually they were awful (see Led Zeppelin's D'yer Maker)

on what level can Emotional Rescue be considered anything other than mediocre?

on the level of someone who gets reggae beats.

[Toilet Duck]

What impeccable taste in The Beatles. Although I'm very fond of Abbey Road as well. But Rubber Soul IS the best.

[Lynne Scratch Perry]

Another great Stones song: Dead Flowers. Although the Townes Van Zandt version is great too (and features on Big Lebowski).

As for the Beatles, I'm in the Revolver camp.

[eFestivals]

well there's good reggae and there's what bands like The Stones do, a hopeless watered down version of it with a prat of a singer pretending he's half Jamaican

nah, it wasn't watered down reggae, it was the stones influenced by reggae. That's a subtle difference, but still a difference.

[Lynne Scratch Perry]

Who are you, Mark Chapman?

[Redwinevino]

I just wish we knew
