  Rock radio burned this out way too fast.  Pearl Jam's Black has similarities.

Beyond classic. But just as this is one of the most notable songs in the entire history of R&R (like many other '60s-'70s Stones songs), it also serves as a measure of how less-than-classic (and maybe just a notch or two above mediocre, more reputation than revolution) the Stones became after about 1980. Maybe they spoiled us with Dandelion She's A Rainbow Get Off My CloudCan't You Hear Me Knockin', but IMHO a lot of that post-Some Girls output was atypical c-r-a-p.

agree with previous comment - early RS music is superb. What a shame Mick Jagger behaved like such a d*ck in his older years .... {#Bananapiano}

It's kind of funny, Mick and Keith are known as performers, but some of their songwriting is as good as it gets. This is one, 'Wild Horses' is another. Entirely different styles as well.

Sympathy for the Devil (originally titled One Plus One by the film director and distributed under that title in Europe) is a 1968 film shot mostly in color by director Jean-Luc Godard. This very strange movie shows them in the studio recording a number of different versions this song.

 They did a new version, fairly recently, more electro-funk-dance, that you might like.

LOL The bar I hang out in has a gong hanging from the ceiling and one can "gong" someone during karaoke if they are just butchering a song...but you have to buy the person a beer if you do. Most of the time it's worth the $4.

I'm very much enjoying all the background information on this song.  Sadly, I look around at the world today, and not much has changed for the better, overall (although there have been, to quote Darden Smith, "Little Victories.") This song is as timely now as it was when it first came out - perhaps even more so.  And I can still listen to it, shudder in dread for the future, and rate the song a 10.
 
Miss you so much, Ann...

rest in peace...

This has its place in rock 'n roll...but I certainly dislike this in a big, big way. If the ending of this song was at the beginning...it would be much  better. I will now exercise my use of the PSD button!
