If I have someone I want to explain the Rolling Stones sound to I first play them a snippet of Holly's acoustic Fade Away, a snippet of Bo Diddley, and then play them the Stones version to show the mashup of the two and the ignition of genius.

To me this song was a not so original try to capture the groove of Bo Diddley and other black musicians who had already done it much, much better.
Someone elses groove, someone elses lyrics marketed in a shove down your throat manner to unsuspecting and ignorant white kids in a formula which would prove successful but hardly inspirational.
Despite it's popularity I could never stomach this tune by the Stones. peace
