varidogI picked up some Rolling Stones on LP and as I was recording them, realized that I was bored.
I've never been into the Rolling Stones, even in my youth. They just never did anything for me. They never added to the soundtrack that was my life. I couldn't tell you why, they just weren't.
As a band, they're fine. I have no arguments about their playing, their songs, their song writing, or their skills. I'm not here to tear them down. If you love them, then fantastic, you should enjoy them.
As best as I can tell, without an emotional connection t their tone, without that zing, they leave me bored, which is fair enough, as many bands leave me bored.
I was surprised to discover that they wrote Wild Horses, which the Sundays later covered. I found their version unenganging, while I adored the Sundays version of it. The tone of the songs delivery meant everything.
