if i can quote mc paul barman (to piss off some of you even more)
"i think canibus and ll cool j are both fantastic"
i have all the beatles studio and love their early AND late period (their early period more so cause thats what my dad used to play a lot of when i was a kid, thats the shit i grew up with, yes their later stuff is more complex, layered, more studio wizardry, phuck it, sometimes minimalism is better, when i hear "i wann hold your hand, or "saw her standing there" i scream like the girl groupies they used to have)
but phuck most of you, i was asking about the stones anyway
thats like me asking about nas pre ilmatic sessions and you telling me to kill that noise cause Jay Z is the king of new york. Yes the beatles are way more of a massive influence, the infinite covers of their music is proof of that alone (the reggae covers are the best, susan cadogan's cover of "imagine" and harry j allstars "hey jude") but yeah, why waste your time arguing that, do you talk about how much sushi rocks when there's a discussion of favorite toppings on pizza?
anyhow in terms of the stones, like i said i never really thought about it, i just assumed they had like 3 albums and all their big songs came from it...while checking sheit online for muddy watters, i saw some album called muddy waters w/ the rolling stones and wondered what the phuck? then upon further reading i found they were admirers of him, which to be honest i never would have known based on the songs i've heard by them, hence my curiousity.
ps: that song the verve(band not label) got phucked over for sampling the violins off...what rolling stones song is that? is it a bside?
