My first reaction, just now, was along the lines of the average as of this date (6).  But after listening to it—I mean really listening—it is GOOD!  And not just because it was an early work of a genius band.  Their genius was already starting to show through back then....  ==> 9

Of course many acts were creating "ground-breaking" songs in the 1960's, I was not denying that.  What I wrote was that "lyrically, very few (if any) rock/pop acts were releasing tunes like "Mother's Little Helper" or 19th Nervous Breakdown" at that time." - meaning 1965.  The songs you listed are after the two I mentioned.  "Lola" was released in 1970, but The Kinks were another one of the few acts writing songs with social commentary in the early part of the 1960s.  The initial post I was addressing asserted that The Stones never did anything "original" or "ground-breaking" (which are not necessarily synonymous), I was pointing out my disagreement with that assertion.

Defend the music if you want, but don't insult the poster personally for having a different opinion than you do. Poor form.

I am in the middle of reading Keith Richards' memoir "Life". I cannot tell you how wonderful a read this is for even the casual Stones fan. My wife hated the Stones and read it and now she's a convert

And on a side note, this is not one of the few Stones songs I don't think sucks.

That depends on what you consider "ground-breaking".  For example: lyrically, very few (if any) rock/pop acts were releasing tunes like "Mother's Little Helper" or 19th Nervous Breakdown" at that time.

No band has ever done anything original. After millennia of human music-making there is nothing that isn't based on previous styles. The whole of rock music is based on rhythms from African music, and chord progressions from blues. Even a band like Einsturzende Neubauten likely have predecessors. Unless you can suggest a band that was truly original? And please don't mention the Beatles...

The trick is to mix and match and adapt existing styles to produce new sounds, and the Stones achieved that, and no mistake.

Original isn't always good.  The Stones were good.

The only thing that saves this tune...which I kinda like...is that it doesn't sound too much like The Stones. Almost Mama's and Papa's-ish.

Great 60s nugget. According to Wiki, Lennon & McCartney are rumored to have contributed the falsetto backing vocals for this song.

I was 11 years old. Use to sit at a desk in the basement on Wildwood Dr. with my ear pressed to the speaker of a desk radio and write down the titles of songs played over the hours by CKXL.

Wish I still had those journals.
