I had never heard that song before. Don't know why that particular video is so great, but thanks for posting the link.

Nope. And the Stones are one of my top 5 bands.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I really dislike the country ***** tonk songs of the Stones. They make some of the best rock music ever but too much of their catalog is like this and I can't dig it at all.

I'm going to go with Let it Bleed, I love everything on it except You Can't Always Get What You Want


For those looking for awesome live stuff, the best stuff hasn't been officially released: King Biscuit Flower Hour 1973 (in Brussels) and 1978 Fort Worth Show (some times called Handsome Girls) both of these are easy to find and were professionally mixed

See I listen to this song and I see it as a tongue-in-cheek imitation of that style. That's one of the reasons why I like it so much. I see it as a Glimmer Twin eff-off to the likes of Glen Campbell.

I already listed my 3 faves (tough choice!) but this one, quirky, and with not all the Stones, is one of my other favorites.

The entire album used to be on Youtube; now only a few of the songs are still on there. I hate when Youtube does that.

Oh well, funky, interesting, fun album.

Dude, you missed Black and Blue and It's Only Rock and Roll!

I would add Out of Our Heads as #4, but here's my top 3 with Exhile the apex.

Sticky Fingers (1971)
Exile on Main St. (1972)
Some Girls (1978)

I have a soft spot for TY (and Emotional Rescue). Slave is a great song. Tumblin' Dice was on Exile.

Well, then, I guess you can't have the Stones without Brian Jones, either.

I disagree.
