robbertnice Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 How many original songs were covered by the Rolling Stones ? Here on songfacts we find 22 songs. Secondhandsongs ( www.secondhandsongs.com ) thinks it is 64. On my website I posted 73 (!) original songs and 73 covers by the Rolling Stones (including live performances). You can listen to each of them and compare www.gerardslinkert.nl Who can find even more covers by the Rolling Stones. I must say they had great taste in choosing their original songs, they are wonderful. Their own work on Let It Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street is the best quadrulogy in pop history. So check out my website and let me know what you think.

Carl Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's really interesting - must have taken a bit of work to put that together. I'm guessing that our list is the songs that the Rolling Stones released on albums. The definition of "cover" when extended to live performances can get pretty long.

robbertnice Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 No really, 73 original songs covered on regular Rolling Stones albums, only some of them live albums. Can someone prove me I'm wrong ? Shoot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 How can Wild Horses . properly be called a 'cover'? [smaller]The song is a Jagger/Richards composition. Although it was released first by the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Stones had already recorded the 'original'.[/smaller] New count = 72 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbertnice Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Who cares if Wild Horses is a cover or not and who was the first who released or recorded it. It's a beautiful song both by the FBB's and by the Rolling Stones. I thought you were all music fans. Did you enjoy the beautiful original songs covered by the Rolling Stones ? Did you even listen to them ? One more chance www.gerardslinkert.nl . I would love to hear your opininion on those lovely songs.
