This thread started out as "who was the best "live" band, what happened? lol I mean even on their very first single, (Not Fade Away), Mick is singing with balls and authority, where do you get off with this "little boy" thing? I think someone needs to take a listen to some early Stones stuff. Might I suggest:
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (nobody "white" sang like this at the time!)
The Last Time (especially the last few bars)
Time Is On My Side
It's All Over Now (Mick wails like a rooster on this on)
19th Nervous Breakdown (Wow! He can even sing rock 'n' roll!)
Heart Of Stone (My Fav)
Get Off My Cloud (nothing but sound and fury, Mick was defining what rock 'n' roll could be sung like)
Not Fade Away (see above)
The above list compromises the majority of Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass) I don't hear "clear and sweet" anywhere on the above mentioned tunes.
So, John had a strong rock 'n' roll voice, and, a great one I might add. But, so did Mick, even stronger in many ways. God forbid The Beatles get bested by anyone, THAT JUST CAN"T HAPPEN! Thing is, it's been happening from the very beginning
I ain't stupid, I'm just guitarded.
