Clássico.
If I had to pick one Stones album for this list it would definitely be Exile or Sticky Fingers. But I have always loved this early covers album, really shows their love for the music and their budding style.
Covers album that's bang average
Awesome album very blues one of their very best
Really good! Unlike the first Beatles album, you can tell right away that the Stones will be a great band and creative force. It sounds a little dated today, but was clearly ahead of its time. Worth spinning again. A 4.
Ambivalence. On one level it's simply a good listen, from a band on their way to greater things. On the other hand... it's totally stolen valour, from an era of greater information scarcity. A ripoff. <larrydavid.gif>
walking the dog is annoying af
Must have felt like a 4.5 at the time, but probably a 2.6-2.8 in truth.
The US version gets Not Fade Away, one of their best songs. The UK version has more blues covers. It’s not a great album, but it’s an important one.
legalzinho, mas é so uma coletânea de covers né. nunca será o please please me, nunca serão os beatles (rinha de bandas sim!).
Albums like this make all of the Nick Cave BS worth it. So fun to listen to early Stones. Really makes you realize how long they’ve been doing it for.
Quite nice guitars, and the lyrics are okay. Little Child is WAY too much. On the flipside, Please Mister Postman is also *a lot*, but in a positive way. A bit hit, a bit miss.
I was surprised to see this album come up today. My recollection was that it was mostly covers and had none of their "important songs." Similar to the early Beatles albums, they're interesting as artifacts but not necessarily albums one must listen to before they die. After listening today I was left with the same impression. It was fine. At times even good. The only song they took credit for writing was, in my mind, the best song on the record. Tell Me was different than all of the rest, and felt like a song they cared about. The most interesting part of this is that the band never really strayed all that far from the formula. For good or bad.
Kids, keep practicing and some day you can make Exile on Main Street.
So much better than I was expecting, and kind of an impressive document that showcases one of rock's defining acts through sheer ability and personality.
A fun start to a career. Fairly unremarkable in that scope though.
Man the Rolling Stones are good. People should talk about them more. Joking aside, this album is great! It’s everything you could ever ask for in a blues rock album. It’s so damn well balanced as well. It’s not like ahead of its time, but regardless of that it does find a way to bring in some variety which is truly impressive for the time. There were a few songs I didn’t care for and didn’t save but the majority of this album I saved. The biggest stand out songs were “Route 66”, “I just want to make love to you”, “I’m a king bee”, “walking the dog”, and my favorite song on the album; “Mona”. I do think the only thing stopping this album from being a 5 is just alittle more variety, but it kinda feels silly to say that cause there’s was like 4 genres when this album was made. Still a solid, if not, great debut album.
JAG HATAR DETTA BLUES SOUND. KAN MAN LYSSNA PÅ DETTA SERIÖST???? 4/10
I enjoyed this version of the band waaaaay more than I did before, intelligible lyrics assisted that significantly. Still only all right, definitely can tell how influential this was
Boring derivative crap
It's early Stones that is mostly covers, so of course it is not going to be as strong as their later work; that being said I still overall enjoyed listening to it and the talent of the Stones is definitely still present. Favorite Track - Route 66 Least Favorite Track - Honest I Do ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fine listen.
Wel goed, typisch Rolling Stones quoi. Carol is wel echt een tof liedje tho.
Bien.
While this is certainly enjoyable, I don't see what everyone loves about them. It just feels like normal music to me. ★★★
Yet more rolling stones being the most mediocre overrated band of all time. You stole some blues riffs, well done.
Such a solid album!
Highlights: Walking the Dog 3.0
This is fine, it was an enjoyable listen.
Another rock and roll album with covers? This rolling stones boys will be over before they put out anything worth listening to.
Solid collection of tracks here. Mostly covers, but good ones. Can definitely see the blueprint and foundation being laid here for what will later come on the Stones discography. 4/5
Solid debut from one of my favorite bands, really cool
Eh, not my era, not my band.
Meh.
Not quite sure why this album made the cut
I know it’s their early stuff but just sounds very generic boyband…
5/10
I'm more than halfway through doing this list now, so I'm getting to the point where I've listened to a lot of albums by The Stones. This is easily their least essential album on the list. Just a bunch of competently done blues covers. Not bad but why is this on here?
A bad covers album
Nice rock'n'roll with blues
Did not age well, but it still is the stones.
bitz müsse erbreche am ahfang - so ami shit mache as teebütel cringe af 2/5 donuts
4/5
рокнрол и хонки тонк, ничего интересного (но и ничего оскорбительного)
Whatever man. Obviously stones are stones. They sucked here though. 6 stones albums. Gummon man.
I don't even care much for The Rolling Stones' more acclaimed records, so what were the chances of me liking this? Not great, but I still gave it a try. And yeah, it's pretty mid.
more debuts, and wouldn't you know, today i'm listening to the debut album of the rolling stones! definitely another big group that i've listened to as years have passed. recorded in less than a week, this album represents the very start of one of the biggest rock names of all time. i'm listening to the original uk release; the united states release had a different song order and album title. the ol' rolling stones chug right along with their debut, with a lot of spunky tunes for moving and grooving, plus some slower bluesey tracks. ultimately a lot of classic rock and blues standards are common in this record, but it's very listenable especially compared to other crap i've heard in the past. i remember listening to the sonics' rendition of "walking the dog"; the stones have a much better and less ear-grating version of that song. i think at the beginning of doing this list, i really didn't like these guys as much. meh, all these songs sound the same! all these chord progressions are the same! blah blah blah blah theory! meh meh meh! looking back i think i was stupid and uneducated and i should've appreciated what was presented to me. these guys are pretty good. it's good rock and roll, brent.
Good proof of musicianship and hope for the good to come but these are some good covers of songs where the originals are better. Historic addition to the list but definitely would rather have any of their actual albums not on the list already instead.
It captures a legendary band at ground zero. The energy is palpable, the musicianship is tight, and it remains one of the best cover-heavy albums to emerge from the British Invasion. It’s fascinating to hear the blueprint of blues-rock being written in real-time. Because it relies so heavily on covers of songs that many listeners may prefer in their original blues formats, it can occasionally feel derivative. It doesn't feature the grand songwriting heights or distinct personality of the classic albums the Stones would release just a few years later. Essential for music historians and die-hard fans who want to hear where the legend began, but skippable for casual listeners looking for the definitive Stones sound.
Very rock n roll album of the time, can see they are behind the Beatles in terms of song writing as the strongest songs here are the covers… enjoyable though. 2.5
Якщо б я робив якісь підбірку на 50 пісень від Ролінгів, то я б з цього альбому не додав жодної пісні. Просто ще один альбом не дуже примітних каверів на типові пісні з того періоду
Я люблю ролінг стоунз, але їхні альбоми з 80х. І знов-таки як я вже неодноразово тут писав, я не люблю музику 60х. Втім ролінгам я навіть поставлю 3 за цей альбом, бо щось в ньому є, можливо якісь маленькі ознаки того, в що цей гурт виросте далі.
Band never done anything for me, always feel like they're posers who take a lot from what came before without adding anything innovative
Hard to stomach white British guys appropriating blues music. And yet the album has a nice bounce to it.
Derivative (adjective): mimicking or taking parts from an earlier work, style, or idea without adding anything new. Lacking originality. Banal. This does not belong on the list. If these tracks are essential listening, then the original, underrepresented, non-British, non-white artists should be on this list instead of an already overrepresented (and frankly overrated) band who, even after 5 "must-hear" entries, has STILL not been able to produce a solid album in its entirety. Oh, and it sucked.
I don’t expect much from the Rolling Stones, but I figured they would have one track on this album that you can justify to be on this list. Not this time.
You hear their potential, esp. in covers like "Carol"
Not their music but they popularised it , very nice though big talent at 20 yrs then
Decent, though an album pre- the really prolific and quality Rolling Stones stuff. We enjoyed regardless.
Eternally trying to figure out whether I like the rolling stones at all. Mick Jagger's voice - amazing. Like 10 songs from the first 20 years of their career - amazing. Every single album - lazy bullshit. Can't blame them too much for this one since it's 1964 and albums were just covers, but how can this be a top 1001 album. Insane that the first song starts with a bunch of American geography like you don't even know where that is.
Man I really wish I wouldn’t have overlooked this earlier in my life, but I guess I just let the later hits capture my attention. It’s great!
Although the Stones went on to become an incredible rock band, I don't really get this album being in the book. Considering there is nothing from them after Exile it's odd. I'd have Some Girls or something by another artist in place of this Anyway this is a bunch of quite good rhythm & blues covers which are fine, but there's only one Jagger and Richards song here. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't consider it that significant in and of itself
You know that wedding that you went to one time, where they obviously wanted a big do but things were a little tight, so instead of booking a proper band they found a group of young upstarts who your cousin saw playing in a pub once, who said they would play covers of that American music the young people like in exchange for free drinks and the left overs from the buffet. Okay, they’re a little bit rough and ready, the lead singer fancies himself and the bassist is already casting lecherous glances at the young bridesmaids, but they’re only playing for half an hour before the DJ arrives and they will drown out the noise of the caterers putting out the food for the evening guests. Nobody really pays them much attention, except your auntie who has had one too many sherries and is gamely trying to dance along with mixed results. The mood drops noticeably when they try to sneak a couple of their own tunes claiming that they were written by someone called “Nanker Phelge” but eventually they shuffle off stage and disappear with pockets stuffed with sausage rolls and half empty bottles of plonk. What did they say they were called again? The Strolling Bones, or something like that? I wonder whatever happened to them?
Classic mix of electric blues with british rock melodism. The Atones never fail 🤟
Although almost entirely R&B and Blues covers, I love their early sound and production quality on this. Although it's probably really a high 3+ because of the lack of originality, I'm giving this debut the biased nudge over the line.
It's... fine? It's weird that The Rolling Stones' first album is mostly just a bunch of covers of blues and R&B songs that I think were done better by their original artists. In fact, as far as I can tell, there are only three original songs on this album, one of which (Now I've Got a Witness) is an instrumental and the other two (Little By Little and Tell Me) are just fine. The Rolling Stones did some real cool shit eventually, but not here.
It's a good album, but it is mostly covers. I find it strange that this is included in the list (especially if we take into account that the first album by the Beatles, with songs such as "Please, Please Me", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Misery", "Love Me Do"...) was not included. Back to the Stones, I think the selection is impeccable (I particularly enjoyed "Mona", "I'm a King Bee", "Walking The Dog", or "Not Fade Away" (only in the US version)). The original material is also pretty good. Actually, "Tell Me" (which is clearly a departure from the rest of the album) is very good (probably my favourite track). I also found interesting that "Tell Me" (the only composition by Jagger-Richards) is the longest track. In any case, when taking into account the lack of original material, I think this is in the range of 3 stars.
Decent all-round
Felt derivative even for 1964?
Oh look, ANOTHER Rolling Stones album has made it on the list....great. At least this is an album of decent covers, well played, and clocks in at an easy 30-minute listen. I can do that, and so can you.
Quick and fun!
Quitando la primera canción "Route 66" no me he guardado ninguna más. Tiene el interés de ser su primer disco de estudio y por lo tanto algo a escuchar.
Decent start to their career, doesn’t really stand the test of time but clear signs of talent, a cut above other early-mid 60s British rock bands except for the obvious exception.
I can hear these young men trying their hands at blues, but not quite achieving an adequate copy of the the early rock masters. I'm glad they tried because of who they became, but this early attempt isn't going to be a favorite. 2/5
I like some of what the Stones has put out. This unfortunately missed that mark.
Watered Down Beatles with bad recording quality
Okei
Didn't hate it, probably won't listen to this specific album by the Stones again, will probably listen to their other stuff
Zalige debuutplaat van The Stones, nog zoekend naar hun sound
goed ma beetje saai
Better than Coldplay
Me encantó, aguanten los rollings
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It being an album of just whiteboy blues is pretty lame, but there is an edge to it. These whiteboys are fired up, it doesn't seem cynically done to cash in on anything. It sounds like a new straight razor, and slices through all the same. Perfectly danceable LP.
Great band playing rock and roll and blues covers. Good album
Having your debut rock album be 92% covers would never fly today for good reason. Sounds good but it’s far from original.
Crazy how early it is
Why is this in here? It's a covers album by a fledging band starting out.
Just what I needed after G. Love and Special Sauce - more white men pretending to be black. These ones aren't even American, though I am not sure that makes it "worse," as they feel equally bad. I don't know what I prefer of the Stones' catalog, but this is definitely not it. It's like you're longing for grits, eggs, bacon, and hot coffee for breakfast and you get served an English All-Day-Breakfast-in-A-Can.
Hot take: this is not very good. I heard, however, that the band got better along the way and became kind of a big deal
album full of “run run rudolph”
Reading some other reviews, a lot of people had a lot of nasty things to say about this. But I did see one that likened this to listening to a very early Beatles album — obviously nowhere near as interesting as what would come, but still contextually and historically significant. This album has zero foreshadowing of what they would be. The music is not original, nor done in a particularly innovative way. But it’s still The Rolling Stones. Some guys wanted to make music together, and this album symbolizes their “shot”, the “chance” that they were given. They were probably young & proper and didn’t want to blow their chance with something rash or inaccessible, so they kept it cordial. You also have to remember that rock and roll was still finding its sound when it came out, and they ended up becoming pioneers of it. So no, this album isn’t what you want when you think Stones, but you can’t always get what you want. What it is, though, is the thing that comes right before “and the rest, as they say, is history.” And that’s pretty cool.
I can appreciate the blues like style of this album and there are some famous licks I hear, but Rolling Stones just don’t do it for me.
Liked this album alot
i guess it's probably rougher and meaner than most of the rock of the time. but really i'm not into this. it does nothing that later Rolling Stones albums don't perfect and expand upon. deserves to be one of the 1001? i really don't think there's much to gain from hearing this unless you worship the stones like gods
Not a fan. Sounds like the Beatles but if they were bad. Sorry guys I was just not vibing with it. Halfway through the first song I wanted the album to be over. Best song: Carol Notable(s): None
What was once revolutionary now sounds like a poor collection of blues covers.
Better than I expected
This was probably sick in the 1960s. Unfortunately for the Stones at least a million other better musicians have been born in that time
I don’t really care wether it’s original songs or not. It’s a good debut album, and I enjoyed the listen. Favourites: I Just Want To Make Love To You, Little By Little
The Rolling Stones debut is very much a product of its time; bands had not yet secured the ability to write their own stuff, relying on hand outs and covers of Blues Standards. As such, you can't honestly give this any higher than a 3 based on quality. It's culturally important sure, given it's The Stones, but it's fairly big standard by the numbers as a recording.
Bom, mas não maravilhoso.
i like the rolling stones. i think they have a few five star albums. this is not one of them. this has to be one of the most unimpressive debuts for a band that would reach their stature ever. one boring original and some mostly boring covers.
I knew the Stones were more rooted in blues and R&B than the Beatles, which is why I always preferred them. This album really brings that to the front, especially when they kicked into that Bo Diddley beat with Moana. It was interesting to hear them do a bunch of tracks that they didn’t write. Definitely a must listen for anyone who appreciates music history.
1. route - 1 2. love - 2 3. honezt - 2 4. mona - 3 5. uuitnezz - 2 6. little - 2 7. bee - 1 8. carol - 2 9. me - 1 10. get - 1 11. try - 1 12. dog - 1
the sound is boring
This was a fun listen! I didn't give it a higher rating because it's all cover songs and I really prefer The Stones' later originals like Let It Bleed and Beggar's Banquet, but it is nice to see how they got their start in becoming music royalty.
A great album
I’m intimately connected to this record, and I love what the Stones became but this is all a bit too nice, lacking in menace and threat. They would grow from this and it is far ahead of many 60s debuts at this remove I’m asking where is the edge I love about the Stones?
Maybe I'm in the minority but I like good covers. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were an awesome cover band when they chose to play covers. I loved the Beatles BBC recordings which were populated with a ton of covers. It gave us a glimpse of what it must have been like to hear them in the Cavern Club or during their grueling years in Hamburg. That's what we're getting here with the Stones, their beginnings of the type of stuff we would have heard them playing in clubs when the notion of writing their own stuff was still in the future. Good takes and enjoyable.
es un álbum muy clásico, me gustó pero realmente no es mi estilo, muy bueno
this was great - a classic!
It's crazy to think that just 4 and a half years later, the Rolling Stones would kick off the best four album run in music history with Beggar's Banquet. Because honestly, there's very little notable about this collection of very straightforward R&B covers. They have no identity of their own yet, no Jagger persona, no Keith groove, no songwriting chops to speak of. This is pre-Stones Stones. Still, its not without merit as a historical curio, but lets be honest, no one *needs* to hear this.
A banda já mostra porque era uma das "mais perigosas" do mundo nesse álbum. QoA Vesper.
Gran debut, grandes canciones insignia desde un principio Cómo Route 66 que es una gran canción Es un rock and roll clásico con el que de fijo se pasa un excelente rato! No hay más que decir que disfrutarlo de principio a fin, se pasa muy rápido, es un buen álbum, no está lo mejor de los Rolling Stones acá pero de nuevo es un inicio muy cautivador y ya proyectaban en lo que se iban a convertir
It's a classic. Not as memorable as their rivals' debut. But the Stones would definitely find their groove on subsequent releases.
It was alright. Good opener for a new band but not a whole lot of re-playability, 3 stars
Short and iconic. Enjoyed an album that was only 32 minutes long as opposed to double albums coming in at 2.5 hours.
Blues rock and rhythm & blues built from raw guitars, driving rhythms, harmonica flourishes, and energetic vocals feels like walking into a crowded pub where an enthusiastic local band is tearing through its favorite records—spirited, authentic, and enjoyable, but rarely transcending its influences. The album captures youthful energy and affection for American blues exceptionally well. As a statement of identity it works; as a collection of songs it can feel more enthusiastic than distinctive.
Such fresh-faced young men on that album cover. Hard to believe Beggars Banquet was only 4 years away. I was never a big Stones guy outside of Let It Bleed and Exile On Main Street (we'll see how I feel about everything in here) and this is kind of an inoffensive debut. It's pure British Invasion but not nearly as captivating as the Beatles. "Mona (I Need You Baby)" opens like "How Soon Is Now" so that makes it my favorite track by default here.
on one hand, this is a fascinating document of how blues and R&B music influenced a new generation of British artists in the 60s in a way that you can really see lead to the development of some true talent and some absolutely classic music. on the other hand, this is an okay covers album.
A breeze of a listen. Understated compared to later albums, and that's just fine.
LOVE This stuff. Just a bunch of British kids playing American Blues out of pure love for the sound.
550+ albums in and this is the first Rolling Stones album I've received. Better yet, it's the very first Rolling Stones album and one I have not yet heard before. Compared to other bands, the Stones debut isn't very remarkable. Before starting this project I never realized how popular blues music was in England in the mid 60s. Most of it, this album included, is inferior to the more authentic blues from the US. Thankfully Jagger and the boys would go onto to do better things but unfortunately their debut just doesn't belong here. Favorite track: Route 66 2.5/5
Call me crazy, but I think the Stones were the only band playing pure rock and roll in the early 60s, with the right attitude for it. Of course, the Beatles and the Beach Boys should be mentioned, but besides them having followed new musical paths, the visceral and rebellious energy that comes from Jagger's voice with Keith's relaxed guitars gives the necessary legitimacy for the roots of rock and roll to remain alive through the most deflowering decade in music history. 5 stars, of course.
Exciting
Just the Rolling Stones playing a bunch of covers (+ one single song they wrote themselves) Nothing interesting about this.
A fun album that I normally wouldn’t listen to on my own simply because I’d rather hear Stones albums of originals. All but one song here is a cover. Still some fantastic vocals and harp playing by Mick and great blues guitar by Keith.
Wasn't a fan of the Rolling Stones coming into this. I'm still not, apparently.
Joya!
it's .. kinda eerie that this is the rolling stones? what is this? what is going on? ... why are theeese guys singing about route 66??? im so sorry but is happening here it feels ... hollow? a lil soulless. SRY! my first 2*??! high two.
First time listening to this album and man, I'm just glad I'm almost done with all the Stones albums on the list. Now, I absolutely agree with the inclusion of some of their albums here. But their debut album? Do Rolling Stones fans think this is an essential listen from them? None of their recognizable songs are here and frankly it sounds almost the same as any other 60s covers album. One thing I will note though: the intro to Mona sounds a bit like How Soon is Now by The Smiths and I find it interesting, seems it was actually a direct inspiration 2/5
If you asked me, I’d say I’m not a Rolling Stones fan. Sure, I’ve liked some of their hits along the way, but I just never wanted to delve further into their catalog. After hearing this album, I’m still not a fan. I understand this album is mostly covers, which are done less effectively than their originals (or even other covers, for that matter). There was too much clapping and jangling for me on this album. It falls right into that 60s rock vibe that is my least favorite. I’ll give it two stars because it’s not horrible, just not my cup of tea.
Aight
Pretty basis American influenced 60’s pop
637/1001 2026.06.16 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Most musicians start by covering older tunes, and the Rolling Stones followed that path with their debut album. Except for “Tell Me”, which was/is a decent hit, the remaining tracks are covers of good R&B songs from the 1940s-1960s. The musicianship is good for 1964, however in every case the original songs are better.
We started off with 8 million Beatles albums (approx), but lately we're having 8 million Rolling Stones albums. No wonder my ratings have plummeted! This is a pretty good album cover. I have no idea which one is Mick Jacket. [Update: I looked it up, he's the front guy (imagine). If you're wondering, the other guys are Paul, George, Ringo wearing a funny mask, and Cillian Murphy.] This is their debut album. Somehow it led them to stardom, even though it sounds pretty generic to me! Lots of covers, but not of songs I like. The sound quality is also "old", but I guess that's not really their fault. Hooked on Phonics: They say "Barstow" with an [aʊ], which made me worry I say it wrong, but no (I looked it up); it's an [oʊ]! If only this were a Magnetic Fields album: 'Can I Get a Witness' is composed by Holland-Dozier-Holland, who are mentioned in 'The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure' (not necessarily positively). Is that British, or...?: The internet kept referencing 'Walking the Dog' having a sexual double meaning, but they didn't specify what it is, and it wasn't in my beloved wiktionary. A tortured yo-yo trick metaphor?? Finally, metaphordogs.org told me what I wanted to know (="it's unclear"); here is their fine lexicographing if you don't take my word for it: <<walk the dog. (sex) 1. Have sex. 2. Masturbate. 3. “Well, you drive to the park late at night. You open your car doors and you just lay there. And whoever walks up to the car, it’s on.” In his hit record of the same name Rufus Thomas promises us that “If you don't know how to do it, I can show you how to walk the dog.” His 1965 performance on American Band Stand is punctuated by whistles and yips. For all the innuendo, this enduring classic (covered by The Who, Aerosmith, and The Rolling Stones among others) provides no specifics. After a reminder that “the [human] male sexual organ [is] one of the many slang meanings of the word ‘dog,’” Marjorie Garber confidently informs us that walking the dog is “a slang term for sex.” It seems a believable definition, given the sexual overtones of dog references in 60s music (The Dog was said to be a lascivious dance that would prompt immoral thoughts and behaviors) and the use of “doggie style” to describe a position for sexual intercourse. However, examples are elusive. The host of the Baltimore radio show “The Love Zone” on 92Q, LaDawn Black, provided definition number three above, which sounds a lot like dogging or being a dogger. That is to say, it is more specific than Garber's description, which I infer references heterosexual intercourse in general. The Dictionary of Sexual Terms and Expressions’ definition—“jocular coinage for male masturbation”—seems to fit with the reference to dog as penis. However, I find it hard to imagine that Rufus Thomas was singing about how he was willing to demonstrate how to spank the monkey, to mix the animal metaphors. Maybe it's just all tied up with the sexual connotations of dogs and, as Freud reminds us, “that [a dog] is not ashamed of its sexual functions.”>>
Ouch, imagine making your debut with a covers album! Imagine popping a covers album on this list. Imagine leaving out some awesome bands/albums to make way for this dross!
Death to harmonicas.
No Jones No Stones!
this was fine but not as good as their other albums
I’ve always found it interesting that the “British Invasion” bands of the 60s started off covering or completely ripping off American blues and Motown sounds. An homage? Sure. A little racist that they rode that sound to arguably bigger success than the original artists? Perhaps. But for the sake of this rating, I’m just going to focus on the homage.
Solid covers (with one song of their own blended in nicely) of blues pop. Definitely shows their roots.
Not very interesting. For contrast I totally adore exile on Main Street, which feels almost like a culmination, or a last hurrah, of that kind of bluesy rock and roll sound. This is more like pale imitation of what was around at the time
This somehow sounds even older than it actually is Nothing bad on here, other than maybe king bee, but nothing that makes me want to register either, pretty mid 2.5
Def some standard 60's pop, but they've got the stones' edge even if behind bubblegum pop. A just fine start to a great career - even if they just wanted to be the beatles soo bad.
Ahead of its time, some fantastic songs on here, I like the (probably unintended) low-fi sound.
Finally. Something decent. Definitely a fan
Will there be ten Rolling Stones’ albums on this list? My rough rankings put this debut as the Stones’ tenth best record. It is a solid start for the group, with hints of their greatness, but nothing especially startling. With bands as great as The Rolling Stones, I suppose starting at the beginning is needed for 1,001 Records before you die, however fairness says someone else deserves a chance. The album contains two Stones originals that fit squarely in British Invasion pop. I love “Tell Me”, but a very un-Stonesy track for Mick and Keith’s album debut. “Little by Little” disappeared from all but the most hardcore Stones’ fans minds. The covers run the gamut of nearly every post-WWII blues style, plus early rock and soul. The R&B covers of “Walking the Dog” and “Can I Get a Witness?” are serviceable at best. “Mona” and “Carol” follow the originals quite closely. The band handles the blues numbers better. Musically, hard to find signs of their famed riffs and menacing guitar work. Jagger showed a great ability at louche mid-tempo singing with “Honest, I Do” and “I’m a King Bee.” The latter displayed Jagger’s affinity for Slim Harpo tunes, which came up later in his career. The record outshines nearly all early British Invasion albums, but really why is it here?
An average rock album. In comparison to other Stones records, specifically the prior one on this list (Let It Bleed), this one does not match the power and creativity of those albums. It feels rather basic, which makes sense for a debut album, but doesn't fit with others on this list. You definitely hear attributes that will feature on later Stones greats, but here it's mostly plain to me. Maybe because it's a collection of covers, rather than something original content that builds into a cohesive piece. The only song I found fantastic was "Walking the Dog" while the other songs were good, but much like Please Please Me has something like "Twist & Shout" it also has "Chains" which I think a debut album is supposed to have. More often than not, when a debut album hits it out of the park, it's hard to measure up in the following records. So, I guess, it's good this is lackluster by comparison.
The originals are better than the covers. As someone else said, if this weren't the start of the Stones, this wouldn't be here. Not unpleasant, though. Just pointless.
Well… I guess you gotta start somewhere.
Getting Stones albums 2 days in a row makes for a GREAT WEEK. This early album of theirs is all covers I think but does show their incredible musical talent if not their future song writing prowess. Only 4 stars because they didn't write most or all of this one but still a worthy listen.
Opening the doors... 4.5
It had a hit and was overall a decent listen
This is ok to listen to. But they recorded better records shortly after this one. For historical reasons it’s ok to have it in here.
Already not a fan of Stones, and this album really doesn't have anything for itself.
It adds nothing to the list. The RS’s original work is one thing; this album is another—nothing more than covers that, as someone noted in the reviews, are “covers of songs by Black musicians who did them better.”
They definitely got better over the course of their careers Very interesting debut, I’m always a sucker for blues so even though this is basically just a cover album it’s definitely my vibe. Good guitar parts, good song structures, I think they picked a good variety of blues songs where it feels like they actually care about the music rather than cheaply ripping someone off Main problem with this one is do you really prefer Mick Jagger’s vocals over any of the artists that originally did these songs? Like obviously they’re great songs but why wouldn’t I just listen to the originals while the Rolling Stones were still finding their footing? I’m not gonna dock points for it but there’s like 2 original songs in here so it feels less like a debut and more like “here’s a bunch of songs you know in our style” I know these guys get way better over the course of their career, so it’s hard to rate this one too high, but it’s a solid enough display of their talent. Always cool to see where these guys got their start, and even though this wasn’t my favorite album, I really do have a lot of respect for this group and what they do for the genre
That cover of Route 66 is so funny, like yeah. we sound way worse than the version you know. no we're not going to do anything about it.
Perfectly embodies my feelings about the British Invasion, at least in the early years... English bands get hold of American rock-'n'-roll records, fall in love with the music, and rerecord them. America falls in love with it. Stones big fans of American Rock and blues (hell, they're named after a Muddy Waters song) and that's on display here. Muddy Waters, Bo Diddly, Chuck Berry, and more. Album could have been called Rolling Stones Do An Internship At Chess Records... I especially love Route 66, where it's exceedingly clear Jagger doesn't know the names of the cities in the song he's singing and doesn't have access to a map of the American Southwest. Kinda funny, since A) the song is a classic, and B) it's getting a ton of play right now due to the Route 66 centennial. Stones always loved American music, and you can hear it when they "go back" to their roots on Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers and others. Not bad, not great.
Not my bag, not at all. I feel like the Rolling Stones definitely have better albums to listen to and this one has nothing to it in all honesty.
Okay, here’s the thing, I expected that there were going to be a few Rolling Stones albums on this list. With this debut album, each member is technically efficient in their respective right from the beginning, and on some level as a Stones fan it was cool to hear the humble beginnings of this group. But that leads us to an undeniable truth, that this is a debut album consisting mostly of cover songs of the blues artists they were influenced by early on in their career, broken up by two original songs that admittedly aren’t well remembered. Technically good and flattering, but not something worth listening to before you die given what the Stones have accomplished in the latter half of the 60s onward. I’d say this album is definitely for the diehard Stones fans. The ones who know what this band are capable of and want to further explore their roots. I know we got some true classics from them coming up on this journey, and this debut unfortunately doesn’t hold a candle to the rest of their career.
Basic
Listened Before? N Ehhhh... this is sort of a museum piece. It's just a cover album by a band that became bigger than life later on. Nothing much noteworthy musically. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Route 66
I like the stones. This was a decent album, but on my two listens nothing really stuck.
Shouldn't be on the list. Most if not all of these are covers. It's only contribution is that it's the stones first album. I get their later hits but this isn't interesting even from a historical perspective. It's not even good covers. They don't add to the songs. Some covers make me enjoy the difference, these make me want to listen to the originals.
Not a huge fan of the group but it's good
I love the early Rolling Stones blues, so this is a treat. When the Ramones said you could call what they did Punk, but it was really just Rock and Roll, this is the type of music I imaging they were harkening back to in the first couple of tracks. Honest I Do is a little bit of a speed bump in the Rock n Roll road, but at least it went by fast. Then on to the Bo Diddley Beat of Mona. The rest of the album isn't amazing, but it is good for the times. Walk the Dog is really bad, IMHO.
Probably not my favorite Stones album, but has some great classics. Being their first album, you get shades of what they will eventually become. I like it well enough to enjoy listening to it, but it doesn't drive me to relisten like some of their other albums or those from other bands at the time.
This is only on the list because of what they became- on its own it’s a mediocre album with a bunch of covers
We love the stones, this is much older than what I am used to listening to but it was a good album, set them up for success
Fine, but all but one of the songs are covers, and being honest, it probably would be nowhere near this list if it wasn’t for the careers the Rolling Stones went on to have
Fine enough blues album. The cover songs didn't really do much for me, and the originals are also okay. Glad the Stones grew into themselves as songwriters, because this album is a little surprising for "England's Newest Hit Makers." Top tracks: Honest I Do, Tell Me
More Rolling Stones. Never been a huge fan so this didn't really change my mind. Don't really see why it's on the list to be honest as it doesn't feel representative of what the Rolling Stones would become, and they get plenty of other spots on the list to show who they are.
On their self-titled debut, The Rolling Stones sound less like future rock revolutionaries than enthusiastic students rifling through the jukeboxes of Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley. The young London band attacks American blues, R&B, and early rock & roll with obvious affection and plenty of raw energy, but very little here feels distinctly their own. Mick Jagger, especially, hasn’t yet developed the sneering charisma that would later define him; throughout much of the record, he sounds more eager than commanding. Still, there are flashes of personality buried in the grooves. “Can I Get a Witness” barrels forward on a lively piano boogie that gives the band some much-needed spark, while “Mona (I Need You Baby)” locks into the familiar Bo Diddley shuffle that the Stones were already reshaping into their own club-band currency. Their instrumental original “Now I’ve Got a Witness” hints at the group’s chemistry, even if it’s more jam session than statement of intent. Covers of “Route 66” and “Carol” are played with grit and enthusiasm, but they mostly reinforce the feeling that the band is still searching for its own voice rather than announcing an arrival.
I'm gunna push back on some of the sentiments in many reviews. Yes, a bunch of white dudes selling a record full of songs by black artists looks pretty bad in hindsight, but its not fair or accurate to disparage this album as the equivalent of a cover band. In the early 60s, it was common and expected for r&b artists to do their own versions of songs. Many of these have dozens of versions, so they were really trying to follow the conventions and expectations of the genre they were coming into. Are their versions here better than others? Pretty much never but thats why the album is bad, not because it's not original tracks
A middling debut, wouldn't nail an album for at least a year, if not two after this - they were a singles band in this era
Fine. Nothing special.
Tories in tight trousers. Annoying.
Not a fan maybe its because its there debut album but wasn't a fan a i thought they would be more rock vibe turns out they sounds more like Texas country funk vibe and wasn't impressed 2/10
Slightly sped up RnB covers with the vocals pushed just into the red and more charisma than anyone in 1964 Britain could legally be exposed to.
Some good stuff
(4/7) average 60s
I actually enjoyed this album and didn't think I would. It's just the classic rock vibe
Escuchar la versión de Pappo de Ruta 66
I'm not sure I get the Rolling Stones. This album is a fine album of mostly blues rock cover versions. Nothing in here, their debut album, to indicate they'd become such superstars. As I write this review, having listened to the album earlier in the day, and given a re-listen to their 2 albums which previously appeared on the list for me, Sticky Fingers & Beggars Banquet to see if I'm judging them unfairly (I'm not) a new Rolling Stones song is playing on the radio, around 60 years later! It's quite hard to fathom. But this album is where it all began, 3 stars from me.
Very nice.
Some good ol' rock-'n'-roll
Primarily covers, pleasant enough.
Wow what a debut album. I can't imagine how mind blowing this must have been in 1964!
okay
Really good performances, especially the vocals, but more a collection of songs than a great album
I guess we should all thank Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Little Richard, Isleys etc for spawning all these British bands that wanted to be them in the 60s. Just like I said on Sticky Fingers, they do better than other brit rock acts at playing the blues in a way that doesn't come out limp and soggy. The more r&b/early rock and roll stuff on this album is pretty good too. I think it also ends up at a 3. I very slightly prefer their early stuff to their 70s stuff if this album is any indication. Lotta harmonica, maybe a tad less next time.
It is a lot of cover versions that are not the greatest versions of the originals.
Sure, sounds like the Stones.
Decent enough but forgettable. Looking forward to a more finished article Stones album. 2.5/5.
Ну це классика)
I liked it, but their later work is definitely better
ascoltato 2 canzoni, e di un loro altro album, ma no
I enjoyed the songs itself, but most of them I like the original better
Really cool to see the foundation put in place for what they'd become. Seems like a lot of cover songs if I'm not mistaken but they clearly had a little bit of swagger by this point already. Clear to see them getting massive not too much longer after this
Fairly generic blues I think. Quite enjoyed it but I'd say youd struggle to predict these guys would be filling stadiums in 60 years later after hearing this for the first time
Considering this is the Stones, it’s surprising how naive they sound. It’s hilarious to listen to these young guys sing about Route 66, having never been there. They clearly have charm. A sign of things to come. An interesting historical document.
Love this
Clasico rolling. Muy bueno
A classic but I don’t feel the need to listen to it again
These early albums are where the Stones and the Beatles sound the most alike, but even here the Stones already had a harder, grittier sound. They felt a little dirtier right out of the gate, which helps this stand apart even when you can still hear that early 60s British sound all over it. Going back to my point about British artists being heavily influenced by Black blues and rock musicians, it’s pretty wild to think that all but three of these songs are by Black artists. That really says a lot about where this band was pulling from early on. This one might not have the fully formed Stones identity yet, but it’s still a really solid album and an easy 4 for me.
It's funny to hear the rolling stones as a tight young blues band. Probably my favorite stones album so far but that's not saying much.
the rolling stones are a blues band. honestly pretty swell tho. favorite song is Tell Me, belongs in some 80's movie's emotional climax. soft 3
Rating: 5/10 Early British blues band with, as usual, a debut that's just full of covers. Route 66 and Carol are pretty good. This actually makes me evaluate some of the other Stones albums better because they did rock and were much more interesting. Still not the band for me though
"classic" Stones but it really just annoyed me for most of the album. Catchy and decent for a few select moments, and then back to clap clap strum strum jingle jingle. Walking The Dog was a 3 minute song that felt like a 10 minute song 4.3/10
Better. Several iconic songs that show up in whole or in part from artists I grew up with in the 80s (familiar is easier to like on a one-a-day project like this). Standout example - Mona /How Soon in Now and Witness songs surely My Generation. I can imagine this album sounded fresh and impressive in 1964. 4/5
Better than I remembered, a bit too jangly for my tastes
well it's the rolling stones. i actually liked it a fair amount but apart from a view songs i never find them very memorable
Nothing of note here really.. it’s fine
Hard to believe these guys are still making new music today. This album sounds ancient.
Nice debut
Jag blev så glad när Stones kom upp...men detta är ju i mitt tycke deras sämre album. Soundet återspeglar inte vilka Stones är, utan här får vi npgon slags amerikansk rock'n'roll inlindad i den engelska flaggan.
Vad bra Mick Jagger sjunger, aldrig tänkt på.
Competent pub rock band, copying Brian Jones's record collection. Would have been a good night out, seeing them in 1964, chain smoking and spilling pints of mild on your local's already sticky carpet. The equivalent nowadays would be The Foo Forgers or No-waysis or any other tribute band putting out an LP which ends up on a "greatest of all time" list. Where on earth are Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on this list? Nowhere, of course, but all the white bands that ripped them off are most assuredly here, and in large numbers. I couldn't finish this album as it annoyed me too much.
Bang average
It was not their best album imo
Completely unmemorable but inoffensive rock and or roll. Never really understood the Stones fascination and this is nowhere near their best work.
Fantastic debut album
Very early Stones indeed, before they matured and really found their sound. It’s ok considering it’s primitive rock & roll. Probably my favourite track was Mona, but more out of familiar with the Craig McLachlan version.
The white boys sing the black blues. Look, cool to see how Mick, Keith and Brian got it all started but doesn’t belong in the book.
I was always a Beatles guy, but I get this album. Good solos, good songs, definitely a product of its time, but a high quality product of its time.
A solid if unspectacular debut album from one of the greatest bands of all time. Some good standard covers--wow, the Stones only wrote one song on here but it's the best one on the album--that would lead to better things (and albums). Top tracks: "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)," "Route 66," "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Little by Little"
--Route 66…it grooves but nothing too special --I Just Want to Make Love to You…add another to the long tradition of using Willie Dixon for sex songs --Honest I Do…kind of a lazy recording. guitar’s a little behind the drums. intentional? I don’t know anymore --Mona (I Need You Baby)…guitar is interesting but meh overall --Now I've Got a Witness (Like Uncle Phil and Uncle Gene)...fun instrumental jaunt. TIL about "Nanker Phelge" --Little by Little...dirty recording. dirty in a good way --I'm a King Bee...the production for this is nice and clean. did recording technology improve significantly in the time they took to record the second side? --Carol...this rocks but I'd prefer to hear it from Chuck Berry --Tell Me (You're Coming Back)...the first "Jagger-Richards" credit. it might be a decent song but the production is lacking again. also their strength at this point is clearly delta blues. this is not blues --Can I Get a Witness...enjoyable but forgettable sugar --You Can Make It If You Try...plodding --Walking the Dog...hey, Robert Dimery, maybe we should include some of the original recordings of these songs in the 1001? just a thought
This is a fine blues album by white British guys, but where’s the Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters on this list?
Not cohesive in any way. Weird mishmash of styles. What?
Turns out all of the Rolling Stones songs I like were on different albums
There are hints of what the Stones will become here but their first album is pretty mediocre. It's mostly covers too so rather uninteresting.
I had no idea they started off so Americana? Kind of embarrassing the Brit’s made the US an influential album?
I wish it was longer! A little more structure would get it to a 5
Route 66 - 3/5 I just want to make love to you - 2/5 Honest I do - 3/5 Mona - 3/5 Now I've got a witness - 3/5 Little by little - 2/5 I'm a king bee - 2/5 Carol - 1/5 Tell me - 4/5 Can I get a witness - 3/5 You can make it if you try - 2/5 Walking the dog - 2/5
2 meeeehhh
Hold jeres børn for ørerne! Og for øjnene også! Det her sørens pigtrådsmusik er Djævelens værk! Håret er for langt til at kunne sidde på en god, kristen dreng, der selvfølgelig sover med hænderne over dynen. Debuten fra verdens længstlevende rock-n-roll-band skuffer ikke. Utroligt, der er gået 62 år. Det er altid lettest at forholde sig komparativt til samtiden. Og når vi gør det, så er det her sgu bare mere råt end Beatles. Altså, Keith Richards der agerer arrig bi på 'I'm a King Bee' er sgu da fedt. Der er noget næsten magisk ved at forstille sig en 1,5 watt rørforstærker, der tager livet af en Pioneer Super Tweeter® på fars højttaler. Hør lige guitarens første strum på 'Tell Me'. Jeg gav Rubber Soul (1965) 3.2. Derfor fortjener de rullende sten: 3.5 Det ligger i marginalerne
I am ashamed to admit this is my first album I fully listen from them because it got recommended first, hope it doesn't influence me later. Now of course I know who they are and that there are better things to come, and maybe listening this first is more organic, like chronologically seeing it as it was. It is probably here because of the historical value. More like a skill show-off for the time than a genre defining album like the expectated one from such a big band.
Es klingt wie eine Band, die gerade entdeckt, wie viel Kraft rohe Energie haben kann. Der Mix aus Blues‑Covern und jugendlicher Unruhe wirkt heute wie ein Startschuss: „Route 66“ rollt mit ungebremster Spielfreude, „Carol“ zeigt Keith Richards’ frühe Präzision, und „I Just Want to Make Love to You“ trägt Mick Jaggers erste echte Bühnenattitüde in sich. Nicht jeder Track zündet gleich stark, aber das Album pulsiert vor Authentizität und legt das Fundament für alles, was folgen sollte.
Not much to this other than the history that was about to be made.
Hard for me to highly rank albums that consist primarily of covers. Sure, the musicianship is great and the blues sound is, well, perfectly bluesy. Jagger sounds excellent and Keith Richards’ guitar and Watts’ drumming are all awesome. The Stones are a seminal blues rock band and are deserving of all the praise. But again, this album is mostly covers. They show off their talent and you can tell they are bound for greatness on this debut record, but can’t give it anything more than a 3 because it’s mostly not their own.
Kinda meh to my current music tastes, feels slow and old countryish.
Solid rhythm and blues inspired rock and roll. I've heard it done by so many other people it lacks the power I am sure it had at the time. I would rather have a Dr Feelgood album.
Best Song: Not Fade Away The Stones are a long time favorite of mine yet I never heard this. It is good but nowhere near peak Stones as it's mostly covers and they are still coming to grasp their musical style. 4/5.
This is on the list purely because of what came to be of The Rolling Stones. It's an album to listen to before you die in that you will listen to it and go "hmm that's interesting to hear how they sounded early in their career" but never ever listen again because it's totally unremarkable. It gains a point because it's technically and musically quite good, but cover albums don't really have a place on this list imo.
A good selection of R ‘n’ b covers. Nothing spectacular (and not in the same league as the Beatles debut) but still quite reasonable.
Certainly not their best work and they all covers, but vocals are unmistakably Stones. Dated, but I enjoyed it.
I guess this was fine
Juste de covers, pas très bon. Je préfère Sylvain Cossette.
Ils étaient si fougueux, il y a cent ans. 3.49999999 étoiles
Los rollings en su peak
Fun record!
Fav- Route 66 3/5
Too many covers to be essential.
The missing link album-from one generation to another.
Probably the album that first cemented American R&B in British blues rock. Essentially a covers collection show-casing the guitar interplay of Keith Richards and Brian Jones. A portent of what was to come, music shaking the British establishment.
Full of gems
Pretty decent performances of, mostly, rock n roll covers. Clearly trying to work out their identity, in '64 it might have been called a tribute to the original performers. But in today's language there' s just a slight whiff of appropriation. 3*
Classic, and innovative rock and roll. You can definitely tell how each and every one of these tracks have left an influence on the rock genre in general, but me personally I still found it a little uninteresting. But I can still appreciate it for what it is. 6/10. Favorite Song: I'm a King Bee
8/10
funny that this is eponymous when it's mostly covers. it's fine. w/e
mostly boring 60s blues rock by white guys but at least it was mercifully short. route 66 is the only song i'd heard going into this and it's also extremely fine. favorites: route 66, i just want to make love to you, carol
We all start somewhere. Blues tracks stolen from the original artists. This album captures a part of the bands roots that many are not aware. Good stuff, but I'm not likely to revisit it. I do wish I could experience it when new, before rock expanded, to get a feel for what it was like to hear at that time.
They really thought this should be on here. 2.
There are at least 2 better Stones albums to pick than this one. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 3/5
So many great tracks performed so well. Loved it from start to finish.
Alright. Jagger’s charisma is undeniable and makes this a lot more fun than it could be.
Mediocre blues rock. I suppose it is included in the 1001 Albums list because their performance was tighter than other bands at the time.
Bunch of kids doing covers
Pretty solid debut. Not too bad considering the year and time and all that. A lot of what feels like covers of Mississippi delta OGs.
A little simplistic but it’s fine. Their later stuff is a lot better.
They’re a pretty good covers band. The originals are better though. Undoubtedly Thor most consistent album
Not my favorite early Stones album. 12x5, Now! and December's Children (and everybody's) were all made within a year of this and each is 1-2 stars better. Carol is much the best here. They continued to play that for decades, and for good reason - they rock it! One of the better Chuck Berry covers you will hear, though even twenty-five years later Chuck was still schooling Keith on it: https://youtube.com/shorts/scnPyjIAOnw?si=ztmvtj_iHiLliy2B This is only on this list because it's their debut. And that on its own is a stupid reason to feel compelled to listen to this before you die. You can let this one wait until your reincarnation.
Ugh. A bunch of covers by a band that hadn't found their groove yet. I know this project seems to insist on including debut albums above all else, but given that there are five (5!) other Rolling Stones albums in this collection, all considerably better than this one, I don't think this album belongs here. Sorry Nanker Phelge!
Hard to detect their later brilliance here: a bunch of inferior covers. When I think of the other debuts around that time (the Beatles, Buddy Holly), this one underwhelms.
Second rolling Stones of the generator and just as good as the first
Canciones que están correctas, supongo. Muy de la época. Falta mucha maduración en los Rolling Stones para acercarse a un sonido propio.
Really solid debut. I’m not a massive cover guy so I imagine I’d prefer an album of all the original songs, but still a great listen.
Good album, fun listen, but no takeaways from me. Nothing I see myself jamming out to, but still enjoyed it.
Das Debut - noch ziemlich 60er Rock Sound, etwas schrullig 3/5
I don't know if it's me, but all of The Rolling Stones albums sounds the same. Very vanilla blues-rock without much edge or interesting elements. This might have been the shit in 1964, but now it's just a shrug. Granted, Mick Jagger is a very charismatic and energetic singer that brings something different to the table, but other than that it's really boring frankly.
Man, this was really just blues rock by black artist that they covered badly. Worst of all was “I just Want to make Love to you”, who in their right mind would prefer this to Etta James or Muddy water. Racists, that’s who. Rolling Stones become something of their own thing on later albums but this was just bad. Giving it a 1 star out of spite.
Eh. It’s cool, but I’m not a big stones guy
they always bore me to tears
Todos os álbuns da época parecem com chuck berry
Occasionally decent but mostly just basic and underwhelming blues rock. That’s kind of it. I don’t really see much to highlight about this album. It wasn’t terrible boring, but I wouldn’t call it fun either. 5/10
Surprising. Less seedy than subsequent stones work. Loved it.
Am I buggin’? This is the 6th Stones record so far! Like, I get it. It’s The Stones. But 6 of 1 band is too much. Hopefully, future editions of the book will whittle these indulgences down a bit. With all that said, I fucking love this. It’s startling to realize just how polished and professional they were from the beginning. Their reputation as drugged out party boys eclipses what is clearly a mountain of talent and education. The Rolling Stones taught white America about black American music. 5/5
i guess i would have loved this album back then
Roll my stone twin
I appreciate that this is where they started - but really not my thing. Just very basic. I do love their new stuff though! More inspiring!
buenisimo mal, no hay cancion que no me haya gustado la verdad. le voy a poner el primer 5 stars de la temporada!!!!!!!!!! :D
Still not done with these guys, huh. Certainly not my favorite of theirs. The album consists entirely of covers, which in my opinion should disqualify it from being part of the list. While it’s kind of fun to listen to, I’m docking it for lack of originality 2.5
Really amazing to listen to this album
Yeah, I mean, not super exciting. The songs that they covered ARE real good songs, but there's nothing really original added to it. I think you can sense the Stones sound in this one a little, but this did not really deserve an entry. If we're looking at like significance, sure, but this is not something everyone should hear. It's okay, but the originals are waaaay better. Low 3
It's a lot of mediocre covers. It's fine, and I'm sure it's interesting in the context of the evolution of The Rolling Stones' sound, but on it's own it's only ok.
Nope
A rock and roll blues album in the vain of chuck berry and Bo diddley. Lots of fun here, but nothing too ground breaking. They deviate from that a little with “tell me”. My favorite was “walk the dog”, their attempt to start a dance craze I suppose?
