QuoteLeonidP Proof exists ... what has Bill ever written that would remotely resemble JJF? Nothing. Keith, on the other hand ... you've got Satisfaction, SFM, etc. etc. Case closed. I guess its not too late then to slap a co-credit for Brian Jones onto Ruby Tuesday?

He didn't even play bass on JJF. As far as I know, Brian was with Stu and Mick was with Keith and they all joined up, so someone starting it is not it, it was a combining. Brian started the band.

QuoteTurner68 Here's the question I'm surprised isn't discussed more: should they have stopped when Bill quit? There is a video available on Youtube somewhere where Jagger is asked about what they are going to do since it appears Bill Wyman has left the band. Sadly, Jagger responds that "Well, you know, it shouldn't be too hard to replace the base player in the Rolling

QuoteGlimmerGirl24 QuoteThe Stones QuoteThe Worst. As long as those inside the stadium, the crowd present at the actual show, are satisfied, that is all that matters. That makes perfect sense to me. The average fan would probably be more than satisfied with that setlist. With that being said, we who are obsessed with the band will most certainly never be happy with pretty much whatever setlist

Beastie Boys in early 80s. They were sort of punk, if I recall right. A lot of slam dancing among their early followers. ...some people got hurt that really weren't expecting what they got.

It does seem to have fallen out of favor, overall at least, in the "Classic Rock" ghetto format, but many good things have.... To my taste its unfortunate many good Stones tunes have gone the same route, but they're a victim of their longevity and the embarrassment of riches that is their catalog. Those radio stations aren't going to play 5 Stones tunes to every 1 for the Led
