Quotetatters The problem with the Eagles isn't that their songs are overplayed. The problem is that their music is completely devoid of even the slightest shred of passion. I still turn up the volume whenever JJF comes on the radio, and I've heard it probably a couple thousand times. Can't think of a single Eagles song that doesn't cause me to change the station.

I think Slave is a great example of why a discussion of classic Stones grooves is different from best songs. I would never put Slave anywhere near my favorite song list, but they really do hit that groove toward the end. Here's two more that hit me: Heartbreaker on Brussel's Affair 100 Years Ago, right after the "call me lazybones" part Thanks for all of your contr

Good ones. Thanks for the contributions. The mention of Bitch reminded that they hit a nice one during the instrumental jam on it on L&G. It's the highlight of the show.

I vote not legit. Timing seems a little off. A couple of notes are off - clearly wrong (compared to what's on Sticky Fingers).

Jimmy Miller is quoted as saying that his job was to help the band find a groove. We could try to define what a groove is, but I thought it might be more interesting if we list songs with a good, Jimmy Miller-style groove. I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of nominees: Little Queenie on Ya Yas (the last minute or so is where it really gets rolling) Good Time Women on extended ve

A few iTunes comments for Windows users. iTunes will let you covert the AAC files to whatever format you want. Just do some sort of an Internet search for "iTunes convert mp3" or any variation thereof for instructions. iTunes will also let you burn an audio cd.

Swiss, I think we're on the same wavelength. When I first watched Gimme Shelter, the two people who stood out to me were Keith and Tony. And Mel Belli, but that's because Belli was such a clown.

Quotewinter And when was the last time that an audible crowd roar swept thru the arena because of the musical high from a guitar solo at a Stones' show (vs the 'performance' of, as noted by 24fps) like that version of CYHMK? You nailed it. The crowd response took it to whole other level.

QuoteThrylan Everyone raves about the solo, but to me, CYHMK is all about that wicked Keith riff, that he is a bit suspect on at times. I pretty much agree. I love the solo, but my favorite parts are the opening riff and the second chorus, with its call-and-response (Jagger's not singing it, he's shouting it). I know that the second chorus will never sound right on stage because the v

QuoteFuman2 Taylor needed another minute and a half to get the Sway going. It was nice but he surely would have brought more golden notes in a three minute solo. I even thought CYHMK needed another minute, but that was mainly because it took Taylor so long to get into the good part of the groove. That will surely improve over time.
