I think that Sympathy is probably tied with Paint it Black for my favorite Stones songs. I don't know a hell of a lot of them but my friends growing up would listen to them religiously, even though we were a few decades later on the age group. They have some great songs indeed and I was lucky enough to see them as my first unofficial live concert. They came to Fenway in Boston and we couldn't afford the ticket price for the billion dollar band so we hung outside the stadium, drank beer in black bags and jammed out. It was really a memorable time and a lot of fun.
Fun fact, the only other concert I've been to is Blues Traveler, which was my first and only official concert that I got tickets to lol
Here's a fun track from a bit later in the years of the rock genre but I still like it. Something about the song has always made me love it, not just because it's Joe Walsh.
Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good
That's such a great story about the Stones in Boston. I've seen the Stones 3 times. Last time was the Steel Wheels tour. I think 1980. Greg Kihn and Stevie Wonder opened that show in Seattle, and they played Sympathy. It was only the second time since Altamont. Best $50 I've spent in my life...
I love Joe Walsh and his work with the Eagles and all his solo work. LOVE.
But my fav is from the 60s. Funk 49 from the James Gang.
