Not many of you alive when this tune was cut (on "Satanic Majesty", Bill?). An awesome blues cut for white boys.

How can you compare "Yellow Submarine" to 'Symapathy for the Devil "or similar. Possibly the most ridiculous comparison ever made. You do know that Yellow Submarine was not the Beatles only song, right? |

The members of the band Crooked Still acknowledge that by covering the Rolling Stones' song "You Got the Silver" at the end of their album Some Strange Country, released in 2010. |

I was inspired by Jagger in Nicholas Roeg's 1970 film 'Performance ' starring James Fox and Mick Jagger; he's pluckin a guitar, singing an excellant blues number - turned my head around seeing this X-rated masterpiece way back then

They don't get enough credit for that. Certainly Gram Parson was an influence on them, but songs like Dead Flowers Honky Tonk Women were certainly influential on bands like Uncle Tupelo and Ryan Adams. |

A sure sign a band is great is when their marginal tracks are gems. This is one of those tracks from the Stones.

Jeez, they have a couple of dozen iconic masterful songs, and then they can pull this little known masterpiece out.... you know, as merely wonderful.
The Rolling Stones. Fifty Years.

No track from this album can go wrong for me. We already had Salt of the Earth, earlier today (on my side of the globe, I mean).
Now, Prodigal Son or Factory Girl would actually crown the experience.

I heard Wyman in an interview say this was his favourite "lesser known" tunes the Stones never played live.  |

Oh yea, this period was their best. I love the Stones countrified!  |

The whole DVD is a must-see, even Yoko screeching away in perhaps the most unapologetically unlistenable moment in Rock & Roll history, if only to more fully appreciate why she was so universally despised by Beatles fans; at least one could accurately say, if nothing else, she didn't pander to the masses. (Sorry, that sentence ran on a bit.)
Love the Tull when he was young |

Now shadows of themselves going out on a high (hail Keith) is better than the image I have of them now...a faceless global organization like Coca Cola.
Maybe this band should have retired long ago, but that is immaterial to this song, which was released over 40 years ago. |

You would NEVER "sell out" to be as big as a faceless global organization like Coca Cola. No need for all that wealth and fame. Really.... faceless?!?? I've heard a lot of things said about Mick and Keith but, with mugs like those, faceless isn't one of them. |
