[dave9199]

It was 50 years ago today that The Rolling Stones started with Brian Jones publishing an ad looking for a band.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

I thought Mr. Burns took care of them.

[The Thompsons]

Well, he took care of Brian Jones anyway since he drowned in a swimming pool.

[Lionel Hutz]

I thought Mr. Burns took care of them.

Smithers: No, sir. I discussed this with our lawyers and they consider it murder.
Mr. Burns: Damn their oily hides!

[Haoie]

Time for that wheelchair tour yet?

[D DEBBS]

I'm turning 50 on May 13...perhaps Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron Wood(?) will share a piece of cake with me...without ANY sex involved!

[The Thompsons]

Time for that wheelchair tour yet?

I heard Bill Wyman and possibly Mick Taylor will be joining the band on their 50th anniversary tour.

[Lionel Hutz]

Let It Bleed is one of my all-time favourite albums. 19th Nervous Breakdown is my favourite Stones song.

let it bleed is such a jam

albums like this, hwy 61 revisited, and zeppelin ii just achieve that perfect length of nine songs

I agree. I can put this album on and never skip a song (though i do have to flip the tape over. That's right, I still listen to the occasional tape).

[The Thompsons]

Emotional Rescue is pretty good, but I have to admit I agree with Riviera. I'm not the biggest Stones fan( I'm not familiar with the deep cuts you selected Melody) but I do respect their longevity and contribution to rock n' roll.

i love tapes.

thompsons, download let it bleed with that mediafire link i posted above

immediately go to midnight rambler and turn it up to eleven

you won't be disappointed

[The Thompsons]

Good song, a lot more bluesy for my taste (for Stones material anyway.) I like their darker more atmospheric songs.

[parklife]

did you get to the bridge?

the stones do not get any more atmospheric than that

[Prune Tracy]

Dang, forgot about 19th Nervous Breakdown. Must edit.

[The Thompsons]

did you get to the bridge?

the stones do not get any more atmospheric than that

I find Ruby Tuesday or even Angie to be more effective in that sense. The oustanding harp playing (is that Brian Jones?) overshadows most of the other elements in this song.

[zach]

i don't like the stones.

[The Thompsons]

For wordsmiths I much prefer Bruce Springsteen(the next Dylan! ), but I do have my Dylan favourites: Subterranean Homesick Blues, The Hurricane, Tangled Up In Blue, Blowing In The Wind etc.

[The Thompsons]

Hey Melody, where did your Dylan post go?

[parklife]

been spinning 'exile on main st' a lot the past two weeks. such perfect summer music, guys

this album is seriously one of the best things ever. i'm ashamed that i've never actually bought a physical lp
