Have you heard the Stones do I've Been Loving You Too LOng (To Stop Now) live? Awesome!!

I like the really old stuff best; Little Red Rooster and all the real blues songs.
I liked Star Fucker a lot; a timeless sentiment.
Waiting on a Friend was the worst; way too gay for the Stones. Originally Posted by jokacz

They have so many hits ! Let's Spend The Night Together. This was also a line I used quite often .

On Ed Sullivan, they were "forced" to sing "Let's Spend the Day Together". They complied. But, The Doors didn't. They were told not to sing "Girl we couldn't get much higher", and they agreed. But, they sang it anyway LOL. And, when they did, Morrison mugged for the camera

Back to The Stones. They had a string of amazing songs their first few years, songs that were not commercially successfully but are still my favorite Stones songs -- Tell Me, The Last Time, It's All Over Now, Heart of Stone and Time Is On My Side, their break-out hit. They wrote very few of their own songs in their early years, they covered a lot of blues and R&B numbers, plus plain ole rockers like Little Queenie and Around and Around. It wasn't until Aftermath (my favorite Stones album), which was about their fourth or fifth album, that they released an album consisting of all Jagger-Richards songs.

They shoulda hung 'em up after Sticky Fingers. I know I'm in the distinct minority, but IMO they turned to total crap after that album.
