Let it Bleed by The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones have an invaluable catalog of great music. Somehow in our house with our worship of the Beatles, my son's infatuation with The Who, our Led Zeppelin like and my trippy Pink Floyd attachment it would seem that The Stones are overlooked. Perhaps they are. It is a mistake.

From 68 to 74 especially they made some amazing music. In my collection however this song is clearly the one most played. Not a single but a title track on a very popular album this is a stellar song. Mick snarls through the leaning ,bleeding and creaming that he says well all need someone for and the song is one that we all can sing well in the car all by ourselves.

Recently I picked up Love in Vain from the same album and this song too is of the same vein. Slow beat, Mick warbling and another song you can sing well. The Stones rocked and we all know that. They might well have been at their best however when they slowed it down such as on this song.
