The Stones are the greatest rock band of all time, but music nerds tend to praise different, often more superficial, aspects of music than the Stone’s excelled at (ex. “Penny Lane is a masterpiece because it has so many chords!”, “Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song because it’s 3 songs put together”). Such people miss things like the incredible buildup at the end of Paint It Black, or the ever-building layers of Let It Loose, or the masterful construction of Midnight Rambler. Aspects of music that are subtler and more difficult to describe in a shitty video essay are missed by the pseudo-intellectual music nerds of today.
>>128878910i love the stones but this is an incredibly cringe post.
>>128878919Explain why
>>128878910Made up premises
>>128878935
>>128878972Ok, so no arguments, just a caption meme from the gayest reddit comedy from the 2000s
>>128879007oh my bad, didn't realize i was arguing with aristotle at the fucking symposium.
the aerosmith of the 60s, but more limited
>>128879274>t. hasn't actually listened to the stones 60s songs
the stones have produced a lot of great tunes but also quite a lot of pure shit. to me they seem like a tryhard band, they were the original industry plant and felt under pressure to be prolific while bands like led zep mogged them with absolute ease
>>128879280learn what words mean before you use them
>>128879344I bet that sounded clever in your head you cocksucking retard
>>128878910>“Penny Lane is a masterpiece because it has so many chords!”Said no one ever
The stones are excellent , the second most famous , rich and succesful band of all time. Literally everyone in the world knows who they are , every single individual from any age ( 14 to 80) knows who Mick Jagger is. You can take a 80 lady in the rural zone of China , she most likely knows who Mick is. So yeah , it's not even a debate.
>>128878910Whatever. I love the Rolling Stones but I don't even know who you're arguing with. I bet you smell like shit and BO.
>>128878910The Stones wrote Rocks Off which goes right into Rip This Joint and later in the same album there's Happy and Tumbling Dice. As far as I'm concerned Exile on Main Street is the greatest rock album of all time which makes The Stones the greatest rock band of all time
glorified watered down blues singles band
>>128879280nothing in this post was accurate
>>128879666not even the best british blues rock double album of the 70s
>>128879747and what is?
Aftermath is their only good album. Aside from that theyre more of a singles band for their whole career. Mick and Keith write some good stuff when they can, mick was a great frontman. Brian Jones and Mick Taylor are great lead guitarists, and I like the drumming on their 60s stuff a lot. If you ask me theyre mostly another band overrated because they were around in the 60s. Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith took inspiration and surpassed the stones>>128879274I agree but that's not all of a bad thing
>>128878910I used to be a 'Beatles are greatest' guy too.But let's do 66-70, usually regarded as Beatles best period by Beatlesfags.> Paint It Black> Jumpin Jack Flash> Gimme ShelterName any Beatles song from 66-70 than can compete with those?
>>128879833>Name any Beatles song from 66-70 than can compete with those?only Tomorrow Never Knows and Norwegian Wood come close, but they don't capture the sheer vitality that the Stones songs have which gives them the edge IMO
>>128878910its all a self serving jack off to try and quantify that which is wholly subjective. There is no "greatest" or "best" - just music that you like to one degree or the other or dont like.
>>128878910I like the Stones
>>128879833>>128879858Lolololol @ the blatant samefagging I love The Rolling Stones but you're delusional and need to behave yourself sensibly, for your own sake. STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER is just the first off the top of my head.
>>128882745PS Mick agrees.
jumping jack flash mogs everything the Beatles did desu, that's all there is to itand then it had child of the moon as a bside, which mogs any Beatles bsideand they weren't even at their best in the 60s because they peaked with Exile on Main St
>>128879797>Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith took inspiration and surpassed the stonesyou should unironically kysstep away from the computer, walk out onto the road and hurl yourself at a truck, you fat useless fucking retard.
>>128879797>Brian Jones and Mick Taylor are great lead guitaristsbrian jones did fuck all
>>128882916Kiss my ass>>128883063He played the guitar better than keef
>>128883089keith richards played all the leads when brian jones was in the bandI'll be the first to claim lead guitar isn't everything but brian jones also didn't do anything in the way of rhythm
>>128882745>>128882758you're sad and pathetic
Brian Jones fucking sucked and is remembered not for his shitty playing, but for being the leader of the band during that early period
>>128878910The stones are too soft for rock n roll, there was nothing dangerous about them. Even the supposed drug years of Keith were nothing. Overhyped.
