| ahh... thanks for reminding me to scope out the documentary " Crossfire Hurricane!"... |
| 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? |

Besides the two "rock hits" (Sympathy & Street Fighting Man), their laid-back, almost "country-ish" take on several other songs still seems fresh, and was certainly a precursor to the alt-country movement which still has some legs today. 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. |

| Still sounds brilliant after what, 40+ years? |

| 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! |
