Just what can a poor boy do, except to sing for a rock n' roll band?  This is the shit that made the Stones the STONES!!! I love the Beatles, and will always prefer them, BUT, when you are young and frustrated, and angry at everything, the stones speak to your core.
This is the music the grunge bands were groping for!{#Notworthy}

I think this is a good representation of the genius studio work of the Stones from  this era.

Hey! think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, then what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n roll band
cause in sleepy london town
Theres no place for a street fighting man

The three year old likes this one too. Anything with a beat, I guess.

The right channel of this jingles to hell on the upper registers on the 126 AAC channel (playing on Winamp) at first I thought it was my cheap speakers but it does it on the phones as well.

Impressively bad sound quality here.
Not kicking the song (its an 8) but the rotten audio needs to be taken out and shot.

Keith nails this song, as does the entire band, but the guitar is what makes this track for me. right from the intro, you know this track is classic.

This is really the only Rolling Stones song that I have heard that I think sounds really good! The musicical sound is very good in this song and I listen for the music not lyrics even if the lyrics are good!

Agreed. Still, that Oasis song rocks. This one just rocks more. And I like Oasis more than the Stones. Deal with it.

There's a rage against the machine cover of this song that rocks. It's probably not for everybody though.

The best RS album in my book...Nobody was ever able to duplicate that sound and nobody ever will

One of my favorite Stones songs -- and I never hear it on Conglomerate Radio here in DC. So, keep it up!

I don't think the Clear Channel playlist should have any influence on RP. If it's good or provocative or groovy, Bill will play it. It only means the good stuff makes it on the radio sometimes.

Hear, hear. Between the Buttons is my favorite Stones album, and nobody plays anything off it anymore. Wah.

I actually listen to commercial radio maybe 1% of my musical day. Most days like today I was in a RP and Groove Salad zone. My car has no radio and I do computer hacking from home. So bottom line is I could care less what Clear Channel plays 'cause I do not listen to them anymore. RP is my oyster
