Quoteriverrat No, they are not a clone of the Stones. They sound nothing like them. The lead singers both have large mouths, and that's about it. Steven Tyler, btw, is doing a great job on AI.

BOLD SOUL SISTER is a great cd. It is a collection of Ike & Tina's best recordings for the Blue Thumb label, all from the late '60s. ITs extremely raw and bluesy. Ike is on fire on these recordings, and Tina is in top form too.

My first album was 'Don Kirschner's Rock Power" - a compilation of early 70s rock hits. It had 'Paranoid' by Black Sabbath on it, and 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' by Alice Cooper on it. I bought 'Children of the Grave' by Sabbath and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits very shortly afterward.

Since "Not Fade Away" is a Buddy Holly song, I guess that makes it sort of 'rockabilly' too. (although maybe his music transcended the genre?)

Quotedcba The Ramones : Mosrite + Marshall. They were my first thought (the only time they varied a lot from their basic sound was when Phil Spector produced that one album. Acoustic guitars on a RAMONES album?!? WTF?) The Ventures stayed very true to their sound also, except for a while in the late seventies when they went disco on some tracks.
