Satisfaction. definitely . when they came on telly and Mick started prancing around my dad used to say “ they look as though they should be in a zoo “

The Rolling Stones was formed by Brian Jones and I prefer to remember them the way they were when it was Mick, Charlie, Bill, Keith and Brian. My favourite tracks are the older ones:-
Not Fade Away
That's How Strong My Love Is
Walking The Dog
Under My Thumb
Route 66
I was lucky enough to see them live in 1964. Brian Jones was just gorgeous. Happy days.

The older I get the more I like the Rolling Stones. Almost all of their early stuff. And I love their spirit. Mick Jagger is amazing, and still as thin as a rasher of bacon. How does he do it?
All that leaping about!

I love some, especially Ruby Tuesday and Angie.

Under My Thumb makes my skin crawl.

Shemekia Copeland 'rescued' this by swapping the genders, but it also had the effect of emphasising just how creepy the song now appears:

I love their album ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’. I always preferred them to the Beatles. The Beatles were too poppy until Rubber Soul.

The whole of ‘Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out’.

I play the Stones on Spotify when I do my exercise bike … the tempo keeps me going …

Paint it Black and what my toddler son called "The Get No" song (Satisfaction)

MissAdventure Fri 11-Feb-22 08:54:41

Paint it black is probably one of my many top songs, ever.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 11-Feb-22 08:50:30

Paint it Black, Ruby Tuesday, My Lady d’Arbanville.

Not a fan at all. But I can see that Mick was somewhat attractive. In a non attractive way. If that makes sense.

Beatles*

J52 Fri 11-Feb-22 08:28:39

Preferred the Beetles, but Moonlight Mile is my favourite R/S track.

NotAGran55 Fri 11-Feb-22 08:24:42

Wild Horses ?
You Can’t Always Get What You Want

I only saw them once in 1976 in London. A fair amount of alcohol was consumed during the gig and sadly it showed. They did apologise afterwards if I remember correctly.

Grandmabatty Fri 11-Feb-22 08:18:25

Sympathy for the Devil and paint it black are my favourites.

HowVeryDareYou Fri 11-Feb-22 08:03:15

I was born in 1959, so The Rolling Stones and The Beatles records were played by my older brothers. Mum loved The Beatles, but I didn't really rate them much. My husband and I saw The Rolling Stones at Wembley, 1990 I think. They were marvellous

Lilypops Fri 11-Feb-22 00:10:45

Under my thumb, Get off my cloud. The last time. Can’t get no satisfaction , All bring back my time in the fab 60,s. Along with the Beatles too.

Brown Sugar is about Marsha Hunt who had a daughter with Mick Jagger.

As it was written for her, she had no problem with the lyrics. What others like or dislike about the song shouldn’t have a say surely?

Chestnut Thu 10-Feb-22 23:27:24

I'm a huge Beatles fan and bought all their records. Never bought a single Stones record, although I did very much love dancing to all their early tracks. They take me back to the 60s and make me want to dance, so I love them all. Brown Sugar was my favourite, although I understand it is now being scrutinised for the lyrics. I had no idea what it was about, I just loved dancing to it.

MissAdventure Thu 10-Feb-22 23:05:39

Paint it black.
Wild horses.
Angie.
Satisfaction.
Sympathy for the devil.

I love to watch people at parties, when they've had a few to drink, and "satisfaction' is played.
They all start pouting and strutting around with their elbows out.

Shinamae Thu 10-Feb-22 22:42:47

Not a great stones fan but I did like “the girl with the faraway eyes”….

Doodle Thu 10-Feb-22 22:42:34

DH a big stones fan has said Start me up.
I prefer the older ones Not fade away and This could be the last time.

Jane43 Thu 10-Feb-22 22:39:44

Paint It Black and This Could Be The Last Time are my favourite tracks but for me their strength is in their stage performances, especially Mick Jagger. We always regretted not seeing them live, we just had to make do with DVDs.
