since its my 1000st post here i thought i start this jubilee-thread:
lets list the 1000 reasons why the rolling stones are the best band ever.
wonder if we ever get there...

rules: only one "reason" per post. dont forget to number it.

i start with a obvious and boring one (be funnier then me!):



1. they wrote "gimme shelter"

2. Because, in the words of Stanley Booth, they were so funky (in 1969), that one of them was a dead man.

socialdistortion - The Beatle are not a boy band or boring but in my opinion the Stones are better and more interesting.

The sound they make that no one can really duplicate is my reason!

14. They are all over sixty and still performing.
I want to say well, but that is a matter of definition and some debate.

angee - though they are not as goos as they once were they are pretty damn good for men in their sixties who have lives the life that they have lived. I hope to be in as good a shape as Mick when I'm 65. he has more energy than most people who are 20.

No 18

They were there when it mattered, epitomized the sixties (along with the Beatles) and "Rock Excess". Know or have met anyone who was/is anyone.

Who hasn't heard of them or hummed along to one of their songs, and have entertained thousands for hundreds of years..

These days they are pioneers of longevity.
That is important. It makes dudes like me in their mid 30's still feel really young. Hell, I'm the youngest 'Powergoat' by 12 years!

The deaf of the world are absolutely right, the most famous logos are: the christian cross, M of Mc Donalds ...and the tongue of The Rolling Stones.
Nothing else.
