    I think the Stones are pretty good.  However, I prefer the Scottish group "The Marmalade" with the song "Reflections of My Life", the Tremeloes' Silence is Golden and of course,


    The one and only >>>>> The Beatles' Hey Jude

    great band the strolling bones

    melandrupert

    A TU for thinking they are great I do as well thank you Daren for your comment lol

    I saw the Stones way back in 1966 when they did their first tour Down Under, there were only approx. 200 at the concert back then if D.J's did not like record they did not play them , they were ignorant buggers then, we heard them just the same from the fresh immagrant pommie kids  records, they were brilliant then and every tour, if i can get tickets , the comparison between the Stones and the Beatles, there isn't any, two entirely different groups . I like them both.

    melandrupert

    you are my man bullitman I saw them in the seventys in hyde park in london and everyone was dressed in white I was in a white trouser suit and and big white hat and I had to get a tube to get there I a came of that tube black and when i got there I couldnt even see them but I could listen ah they were the days and I bunked of school he he dont tell anyone! and thanks for the comments

    "Midnight Rambler". My all time favorite. Anyone not likin the Stones is looked upon with disdain, and horror. Not someone I would want to share a beer with.

    FreedomFighter

    That whole cd is a classic.
    melandrupert

    thanks Ed for your comment

    Yep. Most groups are Rolling Stones wannabe's

    melandrupert

    how true is that freedomfighter

    When I was a kid I loved that 'buzz' sound on 'I can't get no satisfaction' I wanted that sound so bad I figured out that the only way to get it was to punch a hole in my 300 dollar Guitar amp my parents got me for my birthday, it WORKED! cept that every thing I played sounded like 'I can't get no satisfaction.' :(  Then I found  'FUZZTONE' I foot operated device you plug the guitar into to switch on and off the BUZZ..  Yes I like the Rolling Stones, I just wished they told us kids in the beginning that we needed a 'fuzztone' so we didn't poke a hole in our  $300 amps and then get our azzez kicked by our parents..

    melandrupert

    Thanks Vinny for your comment not really into the Buzz but I do know what you mean, and I am sure you sounded just like them LOL
    Vinny

    You would had to live the time, I'm sure the old timers here know what I am talking about, especially the musicians. Today, that 'buzz' sound has several names, It's a 'device' that makes your sound distorted. The different eras give it different names, 'Crunch, Power Chording, distortion, etc,' all the rock guitar sounds today got its beginnings from the Rolling stones ''Fuzztone device'.. as you look on the floor in front of any rock guitarists, you will see an array of pedals that control different effects for the guitar.. Thank you Rolling Stones for this.. :) Guitar is my second instrument now, I am in piano/keyboard today.

    Have you ever stopped to think how many of us lived a life like the song NO Satisfaction
    Vinny

    Yeah, I lived that 'no satisfaction' life too until I found that I must satisfy myself and not expect others to satisfy me.. Once you get the hang of it, satisfaction comes pretty easy.. :)

    They are a very good group, my favorite is  " I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION ".

    melandrupert

    Oh spaceghost I am sure you can!!!
    Spaceghost

    Thank you my friend, I sure do love to get satisfaction lol !!

Xxxx

    All of the music from way back then puts me on a real trip when I hear it.


    It was a great time to be a teenager.There was so much wonderful music being produced.The Stones,Beatles,Eric Burden & the animals.I could go on for ages & still miss a couple.

    melandrupert

    oh yes now your talking! My husband knew one of the Animals he went to grammer school with them and of course he is from newcastle where they are from brilliand band as you say Tommyh it was great being a teenager in those days as there were so many bands out there who were very talanted thanks for your comments LOL
    ed shank

    Not only was the music great, but it was the best era to have grown up in. People woke up and changed the face of history. The sheep mentality became no more. We all, of that generation changed the world.
    Tommyh

    I think most American & Aussie kids had a possible tour of duty (In Vietnam)hanging over our heads in the lead up to our 20th.birthday.The music took our minds off it.
    matheneyg

    Vinny

    Obviously some of us are as old as your grand dad.. Listen to him, he has a lot to share with you.. maybe you'll be the one that will bring it all back!
    melandrupert
