A question I've been meaning to run past this board for sometime...Which songs do you think it would have been right if the Stones had done first?...instead of the artist who did do the song
Two come to my mind:
Lola -- The Kinks
Every Picture Tells A Story - Rod Stewart |
|
|
| M.O.W.A.T. |
Bowie's Rebel Rebel
Dobie Gray's Drift Away (I know it's on a bootleg, But I still wish the Stones had originally released this -- it's f@cking awesome!!)
People Get Ready -- although the Rod Stewart/Jeff Beck version smokes.

What was that Lee Michaels song?? A big hit in the 70's? I always thought Mick could sing the shit outta that song.
I have too many fried brain cells. I cant think of the title, damn it. |

I always thought if made less polished new wavey and more ragged countryish, Tom Petty's "Don't Do Me Like That" would work for early 70s Stones. Just picture that Stones style for the song. |

I Hear You Knocking-the Dave Edmunds version. |

Sugar Sugar....the Archies.
No joke. Reason being is that I always liked that song. However back in 1969 when it came out that type of song was not permitted in "polite society". Liking any "bubble gum" would have meant instant expulsion from the "in-crowd". So it was kind of like bringing ones entertainment home in a brown paper bag. I had never really thought of playing Sugar Sugar as a revolutionary act but... |

Don't forget, this was the song that knocked 'Honky Tonk Women' out of first place on the US charts back in '69! |

Wish I could remember who did it, but it's a tune that was early rock and roll, blues or jump: "Don't Roll Your Bloodshot Eyes at Me", with lyrics like:
Your eyes look like a roadmap. I'm scared to smell your breath. You'd better shut your peepers up before you bleed to death.
Don't roll your bloodshot eyes at me. I can tell you've been out on a spree. It's plain that you're lyin when you say that you've been cryin. Don't roll your bloodshot eyes at me.
It just seems like their kind of song.
