One of the best. 10/10.

aaaaaaaaangieeeeeee

Not bad but not really my thing. If I really think about it,  kind of annoying. If Paint it Black comes on the radio I will usually turn it.  Respect their influence though.

I like them, but not my favorite.

I hate the rolling stones. I would rather drink a Budweiser beer than listen to them. But I have a feeling that Budweiser is the beer of choice for most rolling stones fans...Because they both are from an older generation that sounds and tastes like shit... and both give you a headache.

Kind of like The Beatles...

9/10 not one of my personal favorites but nonetheless a killer band with great tunes

[Tabonga | 2,317]

Since they have been around like forever a lot depends on what time period we are talking about.  IMHO they have not aged all that well.

But back in the mid sixties to early seventies they were pretty much a quintessential element of the rock pantheon.

That period easily rates a 9.

Here is a kicker for everyone - back in the day I remember seeing mono LP copies of "Their Satanic Majesties Request" with the lenticular plate in the cut out bins at Target for the whopping sum of $.50 each - which even back then was scary cheap.  I wish I had bought a bunch and stuck them away.

You guys kill me

Time for a geezer moment here!

When the Stones appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show (a very influential national tv show at the time) in 1967 they performed "Let's Spend the Night Together" (a very controversial song at the time) but had to had to change the lyrics to "Let's Spend Some Time Together".

1. Ed Sullivan was never comfortable with anything beyond pop when it came to Rock 'n Roll.  But it was so popular he really couldn't ignore it.

2. Yeah - the Stones (like a lot of groups) were misogynistic a lot of the time - just have to live with it since it was a different era all together.

I take it you have never had the dubious pleasure of drinking a Blatz beer!

Of the songs listed I only know Dancing in the Street and Paint It Black. I enjoy both songs, but would only ever put up Paint It Black to actually unironically listen to. Even THEN, realistically I'd only actually do so while playing Guitar Hero.

4/10

Let's be honest here - some of us are just  irretrievably square.

Elevator music is never good!  Unless of course it is by Brian Eno.
