There are many post TY-songs that are way superior. However, are there really any songs post 81 with a better 'stadium chorus'? Add that to the fact that they love to play it, and we might have the reason.
Uhhhh... I love scream grunting AH FLIP THE SWITCHH just how Mick grunts it out live!
Does that count?
Or screaming SAD! SAD! SAD!? That's gotta count! They played that in New Orleans last year. It was solidly good.
Yeah, that's one. Maybe Too Tough as well, but Mick would never attempt that chorus live

I skip it when playing VL. It’s a good track for Bon Jovi or Aerosmith but garbage from the stones. Lyrics are dumb. There are much better songs post 1981

Indeed. I have never been a big fan of "You Got Me Rocking", but I have surprised how well the song seems to work in a concert (and now I am not thinking of any recording or footage, but actually being there). How the crowd responds to it - usually being the second after a big bang opener like "Start Me Up". It has the vibe of 'yeah, we are going to rock hard and have a party tonight', building up the atmosphere, while the audience is still fresh and excited but awere of the upcoming gems in the set.
I guess the reason the Stones play it rather regularly has something to do with its pragmatic value.

Hi Bashlets, just curious what better rockers since ‘81? They can tend to be juvenile I guess. SMU would head the list ....

As Bashlets mentioned above, it would have been a "good track" for Aerosmith, but for the Stones it really is garbage.

Am I the only one who thinks U2 copied/plagiarized this song?
I am refering to Vertigo.

Okay, to turn this around: Which other song would you have preferred as a top 20 warhorse instead of YGMR? Choose one from their last 39 years of production.
