Blues, Roll, Rock % that make up yer perfect song
Dec 31^st, 2010 at 3:04pm

Out of those 3 - Blues, Roll and Rock,

I need at least 50% Roll, 30& Rock and 20% Blues to make up the perfect Rock and Roll song.

Songs w/ those % numbers are like,

Luxury,
Off The Hook,
Miss Amanda Jones,
Save Me,
Maybe Little T & A,
Out Of Time,
Mixed Emotions,
Starfucker,
High and Dry,
You Should of Seen Her Ass,
Silver Train,
Happy,
It's All Over Now,
Criss Cross Man maybe,
Short and Curlies,
SMU,

And all the Chuck Berry covers...

I'll be interested in seeing yer stats &'s of the perfect song.

Yeah that'll be interesting, prolly been done before by the Stones, like That's How Strong My Love Is?

Or is that too much soul and no country?

But too little Rock can also be good since the Rock can be heard lightly and be so good that it cries out for more. Love that.

Brown Sugar is 50 roll, 40 rock, 10 blues. When the Whip Comes Down is another balanced one - 40/40 rock/roll, 20% blues, baby.

It sure is. And I'm sure each of us could write a book about any particular song.

RJ? Good analysis - slide is bluesy, but I'd say its more 50 rock, 40 roll - Keith is doing some choo-choo rhythm riffing in there.

I love the hard hitting rockers best:
Bitch
Little T&A
All Down The Line
ONNYA
Paint It Black
Shes So Cold
Respectable
Neighbors
Summer Romance
Monkey Man
Get Off My Cloud

Also love the sad, break-up tunes:
Worried About You
Aint No Use In Crying
No Expectations
Laugh I Nearly Died
Till the Next Goodbye
Slipping Away
Out Of Tears
Almost Hear You Sigh
Heart of Stone

Blues for sure:
Rock Me Baby
Fancyman Blues
I Got The Blues
Stray cat Blues
Sway
Little Red Rooster

But my faves are the sexy songs:
Jump On Top of Me Baby
When the Whip comes Down
Pain of Love (Tie You Up)
She Was Hot
Rocks Off
Starfucker
Love Is Strong
Let It Bleed
Hot Stuff
Feel On Baby
Dont Stop

Some of these songs crossover categories, but thats the beauty of the Stones! They have so many styles, there is a song for every situation in life! Whenever I'm having a bad day, I blast it and sing it loud and soon I forgot shit that was bothering me! Greatest MICK/KEEF advice is 'SHRUG IT OFF' and 'DONT LET THE WORLD PASS YOU BY' and 'SO WHAT'!!! Lots of enlightening material in these songs, and The Stones have seen it all, done it all and lived to tell us about it all! I just LOVE THE SONGS and the band! STONES PEOPLE ARE THE BEST PEOPLE, thats been my motto for many years. Not saying every Stones fan is the best person, coz I met some crazy nutcases too, but the BEST people ARE Stones people!
