I like the satisfaction song. Pretty sure that's all they recorded if memory serves me correctly.

That was Devo.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Stewart was a Rolling Stone for all intents and purposes. Many do not realize that the Stones had a classic Chicago blues sextet lineup: vocalist, two guitarists (one of whom played harmonica), bass, drums, and piano. However, Stu was deemed too uncool by the manager, so he was not allowed to "officially" be a Stone.

Stewart passed away a few years prior to Steel Wheels, and this passing is said to have spurred the Stones into patching up their relationships with each other and "bringing the band back together," so to speak (even though they had not techincally broken up).

It was right of them to include him in the Hall. Not that the Hall really means anything, but it was a good gesture on their part.

Aftermath, Between the Buttons, Out of Our Heads, Get Yer Ya-Yas Out, Their Satanic Majesties Request, England's Newest Hitmakers, 12x5, December's Children, Now, Some Girls...all just as great IMO.

I grew up on the U.S. versions. It gets confusing when I factor in the European versions as well. It was only once I got the CDs that I heard the English versions of most '60's albums. For instance, I never heard the songs "Dr. Robert," "I'm Only Sleeping," or "And Your Bird Can Sing" until I first got Revolver on CD in 2001. They are omitted from the U.S. version of the album. So is the looped noise track at the end of Sgt. Pepper's. That surprised the hell out of me. The U.S Aftermath is quite different in effect from the European version; but I did have both of those on vinyl, so I knew about that one. The list goes on. Stuff like that was very common up till the late '60's.

I always thought Jay Leno was their piano player.

In honor of their 50th anniversary, my tribute band is playing a gig tomorrow night!

[bluesbend]

Thanks Lucid, this made me laugh my arse off!

Love The Stones. I read something recently about Ian Stewart - apparently he refused to play on songs that had minor chords in them. He called it 'Chinese music'.

That's pretty damn funny.
