The Rolling Stones suck so much. They got two good songs to be sure, but they're aggressively mid more often than not. Hell, there earlier stuff just reminds me that I could be listening to far better black artists who were their contemporaries.
Paint it Black is the only song of theirs that I still listen to regularly and enjoy
Beast of Burden and Mother's Little Helper are pretty good
"(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction" would have been an infinitely better song if it were about Keef wanting to have a pistol duel at dawn with random people from the ad industry
Nonsense. The Stones are the shit and I will die on this hill. Have you ever listened to Exile on Main Street? I guess you never got your rocks off.
They have some good stuff, but most of their tunes have me thinking, "damn, I'd rather listen to some Link Wray or Lead Belly.
I'm assuming one of the two good songs is Dancing In The Street ft. David Bowie?
They're fairly mid, but I gotta respect how long they've been going.
