My Opinion: The Rolling Stones

Before this week in class, my exposure to The Rolling Stones was very limited and I pretty much just heard them when my dad played them. Now, I can't really say that I'll go out of my way to listen to them much. I had known to start with that I definitely liked a few of their songs. Most of them don't really entertain me all that much. The singing is not my favorite and after just listening to The Beatles, I barely see a point in listening to more honestly.

I put Paint It Black in here because I do really like this song. Even the singing sounds good to me. Unfortunately, most of their other songs have a few things that I just don't really like, which in most cases, is the singing. Like Mr. A said in class, I think that I would have loved the music if it had a different singer. Another thing I don't particularly like about them is the blues. Blues is definitely not my main style of music, so this is just my preference, but I honestly don't enjoy their more blues-styled songs as much. I feel like The Beatles had a pretty wide variety in their song genres/styles and they executed each one close to perfectly. The Rolling Stones do have variety, but I don't think that all of them are very good. I don't hate this band, so I hope it doesn't sound like I'm just bashing them. I very much respect their influences on other musicians and music in general. But given a choice, I would probably listen to something else that that would keep me entertained.
