Stones Songs That Sound Similar To Each Other
Posted by: sf37 ()

I suppose with such a vast and diverse catalogue, it's not a complete surprise that a few of the Stones tunes would share similar melodies, or have some of their later songs harken back to earlier efforts. Here are a few tracks that stand out for me, in the sense that if I'm humming one tune in my head I'll often switch horses to the other song half way through...lol....(my apologies if this topic has already been discussed as I'm unaware of it).


Paint It Black / So Divine

You Can't Always Get What You Want/ Worried About You / Think I'm Going Mad

You Gotta Move / Back Of My Hand

Soul Survivor / It Must Be Hell

Steet Fighting Man / One More Shot


Can you think of some more titles to add to this list? Thanks and cheers....enjoy the music!


(Note: I'm excluding the comparisons of Country Honk, Sing This All Together, Never Stop and Good Time Women versus Honky Tonk Women, Sing This All Together (See What Happens), Start Me Up and Tumbling Dice, respectively, given that these are essentially the same songs with different or earlier arrangements and alternate titles).

Satisfaction/Jumpin’ Jack Flash

Honestly, when I heard JJF for the first time, I thought the riff was a rehash of Satisfaction. Did anybody feel the same?

I have definitely heard this comparison made previously. I believe I was reading an article at some point whereby the author stated that the JJF riff was basically the Satisfaction riff in reverse.

They're so similar even the Stones themselves confuses these song on stage (Amsterdam 03, Buenos Aires 98)...but I think the similarity of the second pair only comes through in live Versions because of the Chuck Berry Riffs.

I wonder how the audience perceived at the NME Pollwinners Concert at the Empire Pool, 12 May, 1968, that the Stones played the then yet-to-be-released Jumpin’ Jack Flash and Satisfaction back to back…

Soul Survivor / It Must Be Hell
Already Over Me / Always Suffering
Send It To Me / Neighbours
Dead Flowers / The Biggest Mistake (maybe a little bit)
Summer Romance and Where The Boys Go have basically the same beat
(not exactly Stones but) Brand New Set Of Rules / Streets Of Love

To me Think I'm Going Mad always sounded like Tops.

That's cause it is - it's basically the same riff but worked differently.

I took my girlfriend, who doesn't know many Stones songs, to the SIXTY concert this month, and according to her, basically all their songs sound pretty similar.

Send It To Me and Neighbors. The exact same song basically, with one being rocked up and one being reggaed up.

Yup, these 2 pairs definitely:

Soul Survivor / It Must Be Hell
Already Over Me / Always Suffering

"Dont Tear me up", and 'Dont Call me Up" a bit similar.

I would add "Rock and a hard place' to the 'Soul Survivor/
Hell' line.

"Send it to me" reminds me of 'Beast of Burden'.

"Wicked as it seems' and 'Love is Strong' are practically the same song.

'Losing my Touch' - not sure which song - most of Keith's late era songs.

'If you need me' and 'Pain in my Heart'.

"If you let me' and 'Sittin on a Fence'

"Take It So Hard" and "Mixed Emotions."
