thx!

I casted my vote for "Stoned"!!! Cool band and cool people! Had a lot of fun with them when we met !!!

I listened to all of the bands. My final selection after one listening was; The tumbling dice, Jumping Jacks, The StollingRones, the Story Rollers, Satisfaction, Stoned and Stone. All of those sounded very good to me;the music (guitars tones,riffs, beats) was equally good. The most difficult part was the voices. I went for a second listen focusing on the vocals. The band STONED with their rendition of "Crazy Mama" sounded and looked the best to me. But all of those groups were pretty good. That was a fun contest.
Rock and Roll,
Mops

The one doing Mid Rambler was embarrasing!!

Dang. Wish I'd known about this sooner.
The Powergoats were once 'Goats Head Soup".

I would have sumbitted our 'Midnight Rambler'.

Great idea!
I'll listen to them all.

It must be something wrong with the videos.
They stop after 1-2 seconds.

It seems this contest graps fans around the world!

Dutch Rolling Stones Tribute band UnderCover.
Not participating in the contest but maybe worth checking out:

First of all I love covers of the Rolling Stones but I hate cover bands that try to look like the Stones or sounds like Mick jagger.

I did hear a few nice covers but I must hear them again to pick out the best

__________________________

That Dutch band Undercover - I downloaded their mp3s a few years ago. They're one of the better ones out there. They actually have musical integrity.

NICOS has a point. The ones that dress up like them, it's really hard not to see them as 'Elvis Impersonators'. I'm almost embarrassed for them. However, trying to sing like Jagger - how's that any better or worse than trying to 'play like Keith'. Now, I'm the first to self-depreciate, but in all of the Stones bands I've heard (and I have a stockpile of mp3s of them from all over the world), the #1 mistake they make: their singers are horrible.

One would almost think that most of them are driven by Keith-wanna-bes who believe that the audience is primarily there to hear open-g Telecaster riffing.
I know this is going to sound bad coming from me, but If you don't have a skilled vocalist/frontman, you don't have a Stones band. Period.
