These songs don’t start with Charlie’s drums…

Thanks Koen. I didn't want to be the snob since I started the thread.

Whoops, thought I was posting in the best Charlie Watts songs thread. Silly me...

No problem. Koen was just being a snob.

Great thread....have made a playlist...
[music.apple.com]

I know the song has been played to death but I have to say Honky Tonk Women the opening and the sound is pure rock n roll perfection!

There are so many - "My Obsession" comes to my mind. "ABB" has aged badly, but when the drums come into "Rough Justice" it is quite a moment, same goes for "Dangerous Beauty". "Commit a crime" from the end of his career has drive - and "One Hit to the Body". As well as "Pretty beat up", "Tie you up" and "Neighbors". Not all of these songs are songwriting masterpieces - but Watts'drums added something special.
Even if it came not completely surprising - it gives me a strange feeling that he has died. His beats inspired me. Carpe diem - appreciate every moment with your loved ones. All things come to an end.

Still "opening drum riffs".

How many songs start with Charlie? Not many.
