I dunno...with the exception of "Start Me Up" (which I can't stand), "Angie" and "Brown Sugar", i really can't think of any "GREAT" Rolling Stones songs since 1970. Look at the songs that are pre-1970: Sympathy for the devil, paint it black, gimme shelter, honky tonk woman, satisfaction, as tears go by, get off of my cloud, you can't always get what you want, jumping jack flash, street fightin man, heart of stone, time is on my side, let's spend the night together. I really think they lost alot of their "mojo" when Jones died.

Well this all kinda goes into the argument I make quite frequently where I suggest that the Stones should have hung it up when Brian Jones died. Off the top of my head, they've only had one number 1 single since his death and that was Honky Tonk Woman in 1970. I think they've been spent the last 35 years diluting their wonderful 1960's canon of work with uninspired crap for the most part. But 1960's Rolling Stones....they're bad to the bone! Oh ya, my main beef with Elvis is that he never wrote his own songs. I think Rock artists should do that.

Preppy only for a few years, and that was only as an act that was contrived by their manager. He had a difficult time getting them to be "preppy" as you say. When they first started playing before making it big they used to spit on the audience, poor beer on them, John was known to flash his privates at them, they'd cuss, play drunk, all the stuff the Stones were known for. One could call them sellouts, however it didn't last long, and after two years of it 64-66 they said "F**k It" and did their own thing. It should also be noted that their "rivalry" never existed. John and Paul in fact wrote the Stones' very first No.1 song for them "I wanna be your man". They were all pretty good friends and the Beatles were influential in getting the Stones their first record deal as well. Usually if you ever come across vintage Tigerbeat-type magazines from the 60's and there is a Beatle interviewed in it, they'll usually always list "The Rolling Stones" as their favorite band.

I thought about adding Led Zep to the mix, whom I think are the best outright kicka** Rock'n'Roll band ever. However, I decided to keep it to the age old Beatles v. Stones debate.

Alas, the ultimate Rock n Roll question. Factoids (US Billboard Charts) The Beatles: 1963-1970 -Total US Album sales: 168.5 million units -No. 1 singles: 20 -No. 1 albums: 19 -Rolling Stone Magazine's top 25 albums all time: 1) Sgt. Pepper 3) Revolver 5) Rubber Soul 10) The White Album 14) Abbey Road The Rolling Stones: 1964-Present -Total US Album sales: 65.5 million units -No. 1 singles: 8 -No. 1 albums: 8 -Rolling Stone Magazine's top 25 albums all time: 7) Exile on Main Street Personally, i'd go with the Beatles. However, i'm a HUGE Stones fan 64-69, which is when Brian Jones their lead guitar player died. Following his death, they've never done anything much to rival what they did with him in the band.

For some weird reason, it seems like the folks I know who drive stoned are better drivers than normal people

I'm for it. If Alcohol is legal, why can't marijuana be as well. Alcohol is alot more likely to get you killed than dope.

Hell, already happened to me before. Got put out to RF junior year to make room for an All-American at first base. I'd never played outfield in my life, it sucked. Did get to play first again when he pitched though. Stephen Head? he da man. He's gonna be awesome one day.
-
That 3 triples line is phat. He must be all that slow either. btw, i think DLee could have had a triple on that deep double last nite if he had hustled. (disclaimer: not saying he wasn't hustling, but he really didn't need to hustle seeing what the game score was. So it's ok.)

I am and have been since 9th grade around 6'3 190-200. Plus i'm left-handed. I've played first base every year I played baseball since I was 6, except one year when I played RF. Mark me down for 1st.

Holy CRAP....the Cubs are actually playing BASEball

When's the bloody lineup gonna be released!

Maddux also had the good fortune to play on some great teams throughout the 90's. Braves dominated the NL East in that time.

If I could have any pitcher from the last 20 years at their peak physical condition i'm gonna go with Pedro. Look at this stats in 1999, he had a 2.07 ERA and recorded 13.2 K/9ip. That's just sick. What separates him from Maddux in my opinion, given that they are both healthy, is his superior ability to K batters. The highest K/9ip for Maddux was in 95 when he had 7.7.

I think Florida is going to kill George Mason. LSU v. Fla in finals. LSU wins.

Top 5 All Time Favorite Players
OleMissCub replied to CardsFanInChiTown's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
1) Mark Grace 2) Ryno 3) Ty Cobb 4) Ken Griffey Jr 5) Stan Musial -
Indeed, both are racist douche-bags. At least Cobb didn't cheat.

Funny cuz I can actually use a real Cobb quote as a reply "In my day, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch"
