The Rolling Stones played their first gig on July 12, 1962. They haven’t almost changed after 50 years of being one of world’s most popular rock bands ever. Even in spite of their guitarist Brian Jones’s death in 1969 and Bill Wyman’s leaving the band as the bassist “got tired”.
What can be added to loads of information about the band? Nasha Niva wants to remind you five great songs by The Rolling Stones which are rare in Greatest Hit compilations. Unfortunately.
Rocks Off
Band’s most important album’s — Exile on Main St. — first song. The recording of the album became the plot of books, films and legends. However, Rocks Off with its true rock power and great self-reflective lyrics remains rarely mentioned. Let’s fix it!
If You Really Want to be my Friend
One of the most beautiful tracks of It’s Only Rock’n’Roll with much simpler and more memorable melody than famous Angie. It was band’s last work in cooperation with Mick Taylor who brought the ‘golden era’ of The Rolling Stones.
The Worst
Just Keith Richards telling how bad he is.
Fingerprint File
A forgotten near-funk masterpiece from 70’s. Still if one hears a studio version, it’s not easy to guess the performer.
Drift Away
This rock-and-roll anthem was to be issued in 70’s, but remained unissued.
Thank you, ‘bootleggers’ for 20 years of this wondrous Dobby Grey cover.
