There. I've said it. I feel better already. If I never hear Start Me Up ever again all will be good.

And where are those supposedly superior R&B acts today?
When comments like this are made, people seem to forget that without groups like the Rolling Stones, a lot of the music that might have influenced them - otherwise long forgotten - would remain so.
If you think 1950s R&B groups (one trick ponies) are more "interesting musically" than the Stones and their considerable catalog, with all due respect, it's like saying 1981 Donruss cards are more attractive and rarer than '33 Goudeys.
There, I've said it. I feel better already.
And I'm no fan of Start Me Up.... but it is world's above most R&B tunes... especially modern examples.
.... this was not done to upset 1981 Donruss fans.
