Listening to Wilco's "Casino Queen," I wish they stayed on this rock and roll/alt-country path instead of getting more boring (IMO).

Other candidates for this award -
Jackie Greene - Farewell, So Long, Goodbye
Humble Pie - You're So Good For Me
Dwight Yoakam - Wild Ride

Time is on my Side. I always thought MICK/KEEF wrote this song but I found out recently they didnt write it.

Post by stonedinaustralia on May 13^th, 2010 at 6:59am

well i didn't listen to it...i haven't voluntarily listened to beatles music in over 35 years*

but i hummed it in my head and i agree ..but it's not just about the melody it's the sound and the attitude or attack, as they say in music school, as well

* i probably need to qualify that but not now

This song would have been in the Stones approach in the 60's.

The best song they never wrote is the one I wrote to my parakeet pet. It was a mixture between the beginning of Wagner's The Valkyrie and a very popular children TV ad.

:sad

Here's a list of some bands or artists that I cannot stand:

U2

I'm gonna have to say "she said yeah" then. Until last week, I had thought they wrote that as well.

Once again - all Stones fans have to own "Hollywood Town Hall" by the Jayhawks, an album with guitars like Mick Taylor, and vocal harmonies that sound like Parsons-Hillman-Jagger.

They know what they're doing - you can hear 'em going for it - but they're never imitative or derivative. If you like Sticky Fingers and Goats Head Soup, you absolutely have to have this. It's not like any other Jayhawks record.

All good choices. I'ma check out some of these that I didn't know :keithpunky

That new Deadstring Bros has some sweet ones on it too..

Title: Re: Best Song the Stones Never Wrote
Post by Teiz on May 16^th, 2010 at 9:50am

I love the Deadstring Brothers almost as much as the Deadstring Brothers love the Stones..and while HOS is right about the Beatles link to Rebel Rebel, the song still feels more like the Stones to me..

So many to choose from. Bucket loads from the Burrito Bros., but I gotta go with My Fault by The Faces just off the top of my head.

I like some Jayhawks stuff, but I just can't get into Olson's voice. I do like Louris' album "Vagabonds" (not that it's very Stonesy sounding).

How could I forget a true Stones-cop: I'm Not That Kat Anymore by Doug Sahm rocks like hell!

If you like deadstring bros you should check out the Izzys, a criminally, overlooked r&r band who are totally tuned into that whole Exile-era Stones sound, but with their own modern twist. I dig'em

SWAY????

St. Sway told me about them a few years back. Love their sound, kind of fast-paced Stones punk yet still classic rock. Gotta check out their last EP; my favorite tune of theirs is probably Highway Blues or Lonely.

I'm not sway, but funny you mention that because it was the mighty sway that turned me onto them here too a while back. You can download mp3s of all their albums from their website, enjoy
