Satisfaction stands in a class of it's own as far as I'm concerned. There's a "Book Of Rock Lists" I have, where some famous muso (forget who it was) listed his Top 50 Stones songs of all time in order. He put a reason for choosing them beside each one, and next to Satisfaction -which was his #1 - he put just one word:

"Because...". That said it all. :P

Do you like Glenn Shorrock's cover of 'Dream Lover' Oldfif?? He had a big hit down here with it didn't he?

Yes, very much so Katie. I didn't mention it because I didn't think anyone outside Australia would know it. I have it on a "Hot Hits 1979" or similar titled tape (remember them ?) somewhere.

He's great. I love his early songs with The Twilights and Axiom.

Thanks to all who nominated. There's a great mix of songs here. :)

We will start voting, because I think all of our other regulars are away, and a couple of others have things doing and can't nominate. They're very welcome to vote if they're around in the next couple of days, of course. No one should feel 'left out'.
