I know what you mean. The reviewers seem "new to the party." And while we can't expect non-ardent viewers to crave the songs we love, I still can't help but wish they played Sway, Monkeyman, Bitch, and at least four more songs from Exile. AH but to quote a favorite movie..let's not ask for the moon when we have the stars....Quote

here's another - they're good - but i still feel as if the reviewers are kind of young and don't quite get the gravity of the band - they all seem to rely on the same old cliches

Ha - a little play on words there perhaps? I'm a bit bashful to admit it but actually the quote is from Now Voyager with Bette Davis...But that's not to say you can't have the sun, the moon, and well, who else? The Rolling Stones...

I wish these guys would get it right. I Wanna Be Your Man was written for the Stones and they put it out before the Beatles its not really a cover. The Beatles put it out a few months later.

I agree...it seems to be a trend among "journalists" nowadays (mostly younger ones), especially when it comes to older acts. Saw the same kind of inaccuracies with reviews of the recent Monkees tour...it's like they get their background info straight off of Wikipedia. They need to review in the context of the history of the band, not in a vacuum - and, of course, get the facts right, too!

That's splitting hairs. It's a Beatles song. Someone else does it, it's a cover, regardless of when the writer released their version. Not a Stones original is another way of saying it. Same thing.

That's actually not correct. A cover version is a new recording of a recording that has already been published. Under US law, anyone can record a cover version of a previously released record, as long as you pay a predetermined royalty. The copyright owners cannot stop you from doing so (with exceptions, of course - you can't rearrange the song, etc.)
In the Stones case, since the Beatles version had not been released, they would have no such right. They needed permission from the song's writers to release the song to the public. As such, it is not a cover version, but the first released version of the song. If anything, the Beatles' version is a "cover".
Just thought you'd like to know.
