What are you listening to, right now................
-
After reading Ronnie Wood's book, i've listened to a bit of the Stones. I'm still not a massive fan, but good Rolling Stones is really fucking good.
As per our earlier discussions, if i had to list my top 10 favourite Stones' songs, it would read like a list of their top 10 songs by sales/air play, there wouldn't be much in the way of obscure album tracks stuck in there.

I just don't like their music. However I don't find them objectionable (like Radiohead) and have no issue with others being huge fans of theirs.
I likely can't name 10 of their songs.
I'd happily read books about them though.

Oh I reckon if I heard 20 of their songs I'd know them all but the only ones I can think of to name off my head are: Brown Sugar, Sympathy for the Devil (which is the song I really don't get how it's popular), Wild Horses, Satisfaction, Paint it Black.

I can't decide which of the Beatles or Stones are more horrifically overrated.
They're not terrible but by God there's better stuff out there.
Bands in and around that era like Zep, Doors, Deep Purple, Floyd, Sabbath, the Who etc shit all over both in my opinion.

I love the Beatles. I don't think any of those you listed are better and I definitely think Zep are hugely overrated. I'm not a good barometer though as I finished my classic hard rock liking era before I finished high school. I'll still listen to the occasional Floyd or The Who though.

Despite what I wrote earlier, the Rolling Stones are a greatest hits band for me. I have Forty Licks but have no intention of buying their albums. If I really like a band I am a completist.
@MN5 I think the Doors are overrated compared to the other bands you mentioned.
-
A list of well known bands from the era better than the Stones that doesn’t mention the Faces is not a list.
The Stones were instrumental (alongside others) in taking American music and giving it the Brit harshness that led to a whole raft of “rock”. They came from a slightly different angle to the likes of the Who and helped forge a path for the likes of Zep. When Keef was playing edgy blues riffs, Page was playing for Bowie’s brief mod career.
I’m also in the camp that hardly ever listens to Stones OR Beatles yet totally recognises their deserved place and influence in popular music history. -

I'd call Zep probably THE greatest rock band of all time.

Each to their own.
How do you apportion the greatness amongst everyone they stole their songs from.

You could lump Small Faces, Faces and Humble Pie together. The latter two don't exist without the former band.

Yeah ... I think I've read all of Gun's n Roses various books. I think Duffs was the best.

The pommy guy I’m working with did some work on Jimmy Pages house about 20 years ago. He wasn’t a fan of their music and had no idea who he was at first , said Page is a monumental twat prone to tantrums if he doesn’t get his own way . Also reckoned Pages mrs at the time looked about 14 years old.
He must have made quite an impression judging by the rant my pommy mate had about him though . -

Haven’t read that one yet , the lead singer of Iron Maiden has one out now . That should be pretty good , he’s led a very storied life .
