A Tale of Weird Menace

Performance

The Stones are Rolling

While not my favorite band, that would be either The Byrds or The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones are pretty damn close. Having not only released some of the greatest albums of all-time The Stones, along with The Who and T. Rex, have one of the absolute best singles discographies. Great tracks like “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and “I’m Free” littered not only their A-sides but their flip-sides as well. While I might differ from most and prefer The Stones folk-psychedelic period that birthed freak-outs like “2000 Light Years From Home” and “We Love You” every single from their years on London, meaning “Come On” in 1963 through 1971’s “Wild Horses,” is utterly fantastic.
