The Stones basically copied everything the Beatles ever did, of course putting it into their blues format.
You're right, Angie is an awful song in my opinion, the Stones trying to copy the Beatles smashing success of the classic song Yesterday.
But overall the Rolling Stones are a great rock band, and miraculously still around today.
Totally disagree. I don't think any of the Stones tracks sound like Beatles,..who were a pop band. Stones were also a better live band. They rocked.
I didn't mean that the Stones tracks sound like the Beatles. To clarify, the Stones basically copied every album idea the Beatles ever did. As did many other bands copied the Beatles ideas.
This is one of the most confusing statements on CU ever lol
Maybe this John Lennon interview will unconfuse you.
Scroll to 0:50 Lennon states how the Rolling Stones "imitates" the Beatles.
LOL nope, just because he said that doesn’t make it true
The problem with your comment is I've heard other musical historians agree with Lennon. It's really not a debatable point.
I've never heard Jagger or Richards refute what Lennon stated. They didn't refute it because it's fact.
Anything is debatable Steve, I’ve read plenty of stuff on The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards rubbed a few people the wrong way over the years, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, there are many agendas by many different people. We can agree to disagree or you can think I’m flat out wrong, I don’t really care either way. Your still a good guy in my book 🍻
The Beatles actually gave away one of their early hit songs to the Rolling Stones. "I Wanna Be Your Man" was given to the Rolling Stones and they gladly took it.
I stated earlier that the Rolling Stones are a great rock band simply because they are. I don't consider them copying the Beatles albums as any sort of gross insult. If I was a musician trying to record a hit album and make money back then, I would have done the same thing...copy a successful album. Just not enough copying to get sued over it.
They absolutely did remakes of a few songs, of course they were always better versions once the Stones were done with it, but their best music was all Rolling Stones and putting their longevity and amount of quality music up against the Beatles is surely not debatable since the Stones are far better in both categories.
I actually like the Stones much more than the Beatles. Sticky Fingers is one of my favorite albums of all time.
That being said, the Beatles are the GOAT, not only over the Stones, but every other rock band.
Well I’m siding with Double D’s wife and saying the Stones are the GOAT
I had to break the news but U2 are both wrong and I am ADAMant on that point. You are both literLARRY failing to see which band is actually the greatest band of all time, a band that has an EDGE over the rest.
Honestly, you two sound like a couple of BONO the clowns to me!!!
Listen fellas, you both have an unforgettable fire but we’re not at War, Boy, and we don’t need any more clashes here because as the Germans might say, it’s Achtung, baby! That’s it for now as I think I here the rattle and hum of the mail truck.

Can't speak to a lot of these bands in this regard, but has anyone ever tried to play a Beatles song on the guitar?
Geez, most of them have 10 different chords, and a lot of unusual ones. Complex music that sounds simple.
Equate that not only to the genius of the Beatles, but that of George Martin as well. He is often known as the fifth Beatle, and even the four Beatles acknowledge that.
Martin was not only a phenomenal music producer, but he had an amazing ear for hit music.
ABSOLUTELY!

well if nothing else, we got the Ramones, Talking Heads, Television, and those Cleveland bands like Pere Ubu because bands like Boston and Kansas and Foreigner existed. I'm not a big Ramones fan or anything, but Joey Ramone literally named Boston and Kansas as "all that 70's crap" that existed in that era as to why they started a band.
THE WRECKING CREW.......All of you THOUGHT you were listening to your favorite band...no...you weren't. THE WRECKING CREW. The liner notes on albums and CDs, etc. are BS. You had to be there. The joke was on the buyer. Tell them what they want to hear. $$$$$$$$$$
I made a list of the bands I saw in concert, no order.
Saw these acts between 1972-1975 in Atlanta, Birmingham, Mobile and New Orleans.
Ticket prices were $5 general admission on most, fun times.
Ive seen the Rolling Stones ( twice), AC/DC ( three times ), U2, Pearl Jam, Guns n Roses, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Nickelback, Bruce Springsteen, Milli Vanilli, Young MC, a bunch of bands at Lollapaloza 1994, maybe a couple others I just can’t remember.

Some of the above played together.
Ronstadt opened for Neil Young.
Santana opened for Clapton.
Wet Willie opened for Allman Brothers.
Quicksilver opened for Fleetwood Mac.
JoJo Gunne opened for ELP.
Stevie Wonder opened for the Rolling Stones.
.
Stevie Wonder blew the Stones away imo.
Santana was better than Clapton that night. Santana opened, then Clapton. Then Carlos and Eric played played a 20 minute duo. Don't remember the song but they were jamming.
Joan Baez sung The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, you could of heard a needle drop. She got a long standing ovation.
Black Sabbath rocked, their final song was Iron Man, the place went nuts. I remember looking around and saw a guy passed out and thought, man, he's missing it.....
I saw most of the big acts during the late 1970's early 80's.
The "tightest" sounding band was the first time I saw Skynyrd. They were awesome!
A couple of years later they were the "sloppiest" band I ever saw. Played a totally lazy set, but after what seemed like a half hour, came back and did a nice job on "Free Bird" and everyone went home happy.....................except me.
Heart put on a great show as well as Gordon Lightfoot, he had some superb musicians in his band. Mellencamp (Johnny Cougar at the time) really did a nice job. Moody Blues were wonderful.
Unfortunately, I was pretty messed up for some of the other shows I attended and barely remember them.
Went to a "Monsters of Rock" show with my son a few years ago and music was a bit insane for me, but will admit that "Disturbed" put together one of the best sets of music I have ever heard. By the end, even old farts like me were on our feet screaming!

Frankly, most of the live concerts I've seen were below expectations. Perhaps I was just expecting too much?
For example when i saw Emerson Lake & Palmer, Lake played Lucky Man acoustically sitting alone on a chair. No Emerson, no Palmer, no nothing else. The last thing on the planet I wanted to hear was their classic song Lucky Man played like that. The ticket wasn't cheap, and i almost felt like booing, but i didn't.

Billy Joel was one that was better than expected.
Bought tickets for Neil Young not realizing it was "Neil Young Solo". "Cinnamon Girl" not a great acoustic song.
Still not sure if the concert was advertised as "Solo".

I saw Guns N Roses and Metallica as well as Van Halen in the 90s. Other than that I haven't attended a ton of live shows. At least not in terms of big names that people would know. Different smaller acts that I wanted to see. In my early twenties (late 90s) I used to go see bands in Boston at small clubs just because I loved music, not necessarily knowing the bands playing. I got married in 2000 and haven't been to a show since other than a very small one two years ago.

I wouldn't have guessed in a thousand years that Meatloaf would be #3 on that list.
Meatloaf? What did his family buy 20 million of them? LOL
Yeah, it's easy to forget how massive that album was. Incredibly, his next four albums didn't even make the top 40 in the US and none of them were certified Gold here. Even more incredible, "Bat Out of Hell" topped out at only #14 in the US!

"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is listenable, maybe once or twice in one's lifetime - LOL.
Yes, it's an entertaining story line that probably most of us have experienced, and the Phil Rizzuto baseball "broadcast" was interesting, but i mean how many times can you listen to that?
To my music taste, every other Meatloaf song I've ever heard is simply unlistenable.
In my view a great rock song is one you can still listen to every once in awhile, and even though ya know it by heart, it still has an exciting fresh sound to it. Many of which have been mentioned in this thread.
I did not know that.
I had to look up the date of the Thriller music video premiere, it was December 2, 1983. Friday.
I was 19. Buddies and I went to a packed bar that was advertising showing the premiere.
They set up a giant screen, back then image quality left a lot to be desired. LOL.

I agree - a little bit of false advertising there in my opinion.
But what are ya gonna do? When the rock star shows up for the concert relatively sober, it's a plus. LOL
I think it's nearly impossible to name a consensus GOAT band, but it might be more fun to try to name a GOAT Show you've attended. I've been fortunate to have grown up and lived in the Greater Cleveland are during the Vietnam era, a time when the music we're discussing was at it's improvisational best and anything was possible. at one time or another I saw most of the bands from Bullsitter's list and then some, still have most of the stubs and, yes, the cost was generally around $5-$10.
my vote for best show/performance would be for Pink Floyd. six of us made the drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh sometime during the summer of 1975 and saw them on a Saturday in Three Rivers Stadium. the show was simple yet elegant; they played a set of about half their "new" album, Wish You Were Here, and followed that with a short break and then complete Dark Side of The Moon. after another break the came out for an encore of "Echoes" from the Meddle album.
the screen, light show, band and everything that went with it was perfection.

Went to a "Monsters of Rock" show with my son a few years ago and music was a bit insane for me, but will admit that "Disturbed" put together one of the best sets of music I have ever heard. By the end, even old farts like me were on our feet screaming!
Frankly, most of the live concerts I've seen were below expectations. Perhaps I was just expecting too much?
For example when i saw Emerson Lake & Palmer, Lake played Lucky Man acoustically sitting alone on a chair. No Emerson, no Palmer, no nothing else. The last thing on the planet I wanted to hear was their classic song Lucky Man played like that. The ticket wasn't cheap, and i almost felt like booing, but i didn't.
Billy Joel was one that was better than expected.
It's not. It's fourth with roughly half the sales of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Or 2/3 if you go by claimed sales.

I wouldn't have guessed in a thousand years that Meatloaf would be #3 on that list.
Meatloaf? What did his family buy 20 million of them? LOL
Bought tickets for Neil Young not realizing it was "Neil Young Solo". "Cinnamon Girl" not a great acoustic song.
Still not sure if the concert was advertised as "Solo".
I saw Guns N Roses and Metallica as well as Van Halen in the 90s. Other than that I haven't attended a ton of live shows. At least not in terms of big names that people would know. Different smaller acts that I wanted to see. In my early twenties (late 90s) I used to go see bands in Boston at small clubs just because I loved music, not necessarily knowing the bands playing. I got married in 2000 and haven't been to a show since other than a very small one two years ago.
Yeah, it's easy to forget how massive that album was. Incredibly, his next four albums didn't even make the top 40 in the US and none of them were certified Gold here. Even more incredible, "Bat Out of Hell" topped out at only #14 in the US!
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is listenable, maybe once or twice in one's lifetime - LOL.
Yes, it's an entertaining story line that probably most of us have experienced, and the Phil Rizzuto baseball "broadcast" was interesting, but i mean how many times can you listen to that?
To my music taste, every other Meatloaf song I've ever heard is simply unlistenable.
In my view a great rock song is one you can still listen to every once in awhile, and even though ya know it by heart, it still has an exciting fresh sound to it. Many of which have been mentioned in this thread.
I did not know that.
I had to look up the date of the Thriller music video premiere, it was December 2, 1983. Friday.
I was 19. Buddies and I went to a packed bar that was advertising showing the premiere.
They set up a giant screen, back then image quality left a lot to be desired. LOL.
I agree - a little bit of false advertising there in my opinion.
But what are ya gonna do? When the rock star shows up for the concert relatively sober, it's a plus. LOL

Cinnamon Girl is fine as being a favorite. as long as it is Type O Negative's version.

I think it's nearly impossible to name a consensus GOAT band, but it might be more fun to try to name a GOAT Show you've attended. I've been fortunate to have grown up and lived in the Greater Cleveland are during the Vietnam era, a time when the music we're discussing was at it's improvisational best and anything was possible. at one time or another I saw most of the bands from Bullsitter's list and then some, still have most of the stubs and, yes, the cost was generally around $5-$10.
my vote for best show/performance would be for Pink Floyd. six of us made the drive from Cleveland to Pittsburgh sometime during the summer of 1975 and saw them on a Saturday in Three Rivers Stadium. the show was simple yet elegant; they played a set of about half their "new" album, Wish You Were Here, and followed that with a short break and then complete Dark Side of The Moon. after another break the came out for an encore of "Echoes" from the Meddle album.
the screen, light show, band and everything that went with it was perfection.
