Think back to that first Stones song you heard, or your first impression after seeing them on television or concert, and tell us what you thought of them way back then.

Emulate the Beatles? How do you figure...THe Beatles were playing pure POP at that time & The Stones were playing Blues & Blues based Rock.

I was a Beatles fan in the sixties, and the Stones music seemed off key, too loud, and too rough at the edges. By rough at the edges, it seemed to lack a lot of harmonizing and seemed little rehearsed. I also thought they were trying to mimic the Beatles.
Later on, something clicked inside my brain and I suddenly saw what the Stones were all about. I have been a fan ever since that time.

You Can't Always Get What You Want? It has orchestration and swooping vocals. And Satanic Majesties had just been panned as a weak attempt at Sgt. Pepper. The Beatles were also playing some Blues based rock on the White Album. The Stones didn't really come from under the Beatles shadow internationally until Honky Tonk Women, which has a real big 'Beatlesque' production to it.
