Tman5293 100 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Can't choose one so I'm choosing two. Satisfaction and Honky Tonk woman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie brown 775 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 'The Last Time' is where I came in....'64? That's a GREAT riff and if you look at old TV of it (must be on UTube) Brian Jones plays his part on the Vox teardrop, half-way up the neck. Never quite figured that out as it's easier further down. And 'Aftermath', still one of their best early LPs. Yeah, I ogiginally leared that riff, the way Brian did it. It was later, that I discovered it was easier, in more the open position. But, it works well, either way. CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lespaulj45 7 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 It would have to be "Heart of Stone" . Absolutely wore the record out at keg parties in mid-sixties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daryl M 62 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 I'm sure where 'early' Stones ends and 'mid' Stones begins, but 'Honky Tonk Women' would be my pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVOL! 279 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Everything off of this album. Even the hippy-dippy stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie brown 775 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 I guess I meant "early" as in the "original lineup-Brian Jones era," mostly. CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surfpup 529 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 To be honest, for me it's all about 68-74. Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goat's Head Soup and It's Only Rock & Roll are the Stones albums I love. So even though they aren't exactly "early" work, here are some of my favorite tunes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 100% ... the Mick Taylor version of the Stones was the finest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvinator 17 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 If the late 60's are "early" enough, 2 of my favorites are "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Can't Always Get What You Want". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissouriPicker 388 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Really some great videos. Awesome stuff. It's tough to find any rock & roll group that can stand toe-to-toe with The Rolling Stones. The Beatles were good, but no longevity as an active band. The Stones have been active for decades. To me, they have what I consider to be some of the qualities that endeared Johnny Cash to so many people: they are easy for me to identify with. They are down-and-dirty, full of human flaws and I understand where they are coming from. Each of them is kind of a version of me. Only richer, and vastly more talented. .........Good topic. I love those videos of them just sitting-around picking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie brown 775 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Well, I'm NOT going to get into a Stones vs. Beatles thing, at all. I'll simply say, The Beatles have their own "life" as a band, even way after they physically broke up, and stop playing. So, their's is a different kind of longevity. I never really compared the two bands, even when they were both going strong. They were always of different styles, to me...and, frankly I liked/loved them both, for their differences, not in spite of. CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaxson50 636 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Midnight Rambler, Wild Horses, Beggars Banq. Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, Spider and the Fly, Angie..so many great songs. The Stones have broken up, had feuds, even gone to fist city with each other more then once, sort a like a family...The Beatles music will out live everyone alive today, so will the Stones, I hate make judgment calls on such things. Like comparing Surf to Soul..It's all good, life is a buffet...................DIG IN! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saturn 368 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Since "Under My Thumb" has already been mentioned (some of the best rhythm playing ever IMO)and also "Monkey Man" too.... Not sure if 1971 is considered "early" Stones or not, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgE6KEA8nog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
