The only gig I've ever gone to in my entire life, and it was by mistake. No one comes here to my country. But I went to visit Disney with my mum and my aunt, and guess who I saw in Epcot...

The fantastic Beach Boys! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother wanted to kill me when I told him.

Why don't you like Gimme Shelter? What screws it? Female vocals playing harmonies with Mick's? The fact Brian Jones didn't play in it, even though he still was part of the Stones? The chorus? The lyrics? According to The Rolling Stone magazine, it's the third best Stone song (scoring place 38 in top 500). It's got everything I want for in a song. I haven't listened to every song, but that's the best one I have heard so far.

There's no way you can't like Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones, written by the great Keith Richards. It's 4:38 minutes of rock n' roll madness. It starts off with the best arpeggio I've ever listened to, with great oohs that will put you in the mood. Then the lead guitar comes in, and the piano, then the song finally begins. There's only 1 riff in the song, and that is Keith's, that goes on the whole 4 minutes. The song makes you feel as if you're in the middle of a storm, but, at the same time, the "oohs" and "yeahs", and Charlie Watt's fantastic drum pattern, makes it feel like a regular pop song. The lyrics are great, it's about how war is gonna kill us all, and how love can give shelter (though that is only shown in the last line, hehe). The chord progession in the chorus is, simply, amazing. Keith's solo, though simple, is one of the best, if not the best, with the female singer (whose name I can remember, but I know it) shouting out the strongest lyrics up to now after the solo. Then the harmonica pops in, and the song just keeps on. What I said up there is complete rubbish, the greatness of the song can't be explained in words. And it never gets boring. Download it, or even better, get Let It Bleed now.

MARRY X-MAS 

Nah, my wife would kill me

j/k

Let It Be + Octopus's Garden are good

GIMME SHELTER owns!

The Stones made Undercover and that's what I call a bad song. The Beatles didn't have any bad song but the crappy Revolution 9.

RINGO HIGHLITS (Best to Worst)

5. Being able to be such a good drummer with a small kit (Watch pictures)

4. Singing All You Need Is Love and Yellow Submarine

3. Playing Tomorrow Never Knows

2. Contributing with songs, mainly Octopus's Garden

1. Drum intro to Hey Jude

He and Paul keep on doing gigs, of course separately, I'm not sure about Ringo but Paul has planned a 2005 tour. Ringo may play gigs, and if he doesn't, he still plays drums and I love his drumming. If you're not sure, download Tomorrow Never Knows right now!

My friends say Ringo sucks...What do you think

I think both are cool, the Stones have amazing material but the Beatles formed an army of powerful songs, the only bad one being Revolution 9 and I think you dont call that a song.

I've got this AC/DC summoning every dust minion to his royal meeting in the cupboard, yes, my discs go straight to the cupboard.

I would like you to tell me what the best songs by AC/DC are. I want to start listening to them.
