Limited playing skills? Charlie Watts is one of the best drummers alive, and Keef? There are legions of guitar players that wish they had his sense of rhythm and riff sensibilities. He's no Segovia, but it's a different flavor ya know ? |

As much as I love this song, and even though I have the same sentiment in a sense, it's not for GS. Not quite. Nothing to be taken away from GS - I have a difficult time ranking when it comes to the top but GS would be in my top 10 somewhere, possibly even my top 5. GS has been knocking me flat every time I hear it (since the very first one, in fact) for a long damn time now. PS: Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" is the one that I have to give my '11' to - or to demote all other 10's for if I'm not allowed an '11'. And I just decided this yesterday after pondering it for the past few months (as noted above, this all-time ranking doesn't come easily to me; it's taken me nearly 44 years to make that call). But Voodoo Chile just reaches down in there and gets all the hurt, pain, unrequitedness, whatever that central feeling is - for me - and grabs it by the throat, then yanks it up and out in full view. Kind of a primal wedgie... |

Still a 10 for me. Always will consider it one of the great, truely inspired moments in modern music.....

I keep the Stones in the same category I keep the Grateful Dead and Frank Zappa. I can logically understand the appeal, I just don't feel it. Oh yeah...this is how I feel totally. Glad to read there's someone in my pool. |

Considered by many to be one of the greatest rock songs in history -who are we to disagree?
And Sister's of Mercy did a great cover of it too. Utterly miserable |

I stand—or sit—in slackjawed amazement that never grows old or stale, when it plays on radio or on my stereo. The Stones have never surpassed this song, though they may have equalled it from time to time in the late sixties or early seventies. Shivers down my spine....
Every now and then I bump this eloquent comment from years ago . Thanks Dionysius. |

Dear George P: Perhaps you weren't around 'back in the day.' "If I don't get some shelter ..." Lots of us geezers and crones hold this one tighly to the heart. |

Miller produced their records up until 1973 ( Goat's Head Soup). |
