Greatest Fake Rolling Stones Songs

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Inspired by Chuck's response to the "unheralded Stones songs" thread: actual deliberate fake Stones that we like. I propose:

Band of Susans, "Pardon My French"
The Soft Boys, "Rock 'n' Roll Toilet"
The Upper Crust, "Everyone's Equal" (their vicious variation on "Salt of the Earth")

others?

Strangely, nobody has mentioned Primal Scream's "Moving On Up". The ultimate fake Stones song.

And, yes, everything Black Crowes have ever made sounds like Exile-era Stones, only with Mick Jagger having been replaced by Rod Stewart.

Bohemian Like You - the Dandy Warhols. They actually had to have a musicologist examine it and certify that it was not an exact copy of the Stones in order for their record company to release it as a single, so they wouldn't be open to lawsuits!

― kate, Friday, 2 May 2003 11:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

There was this song in the 80s which sounded exactly like a Rolling Stones song: "Coming On Strong" by Modern English. Surprisingly enough, it was their only hit.

Jonestown still is a great Stones!

Anyway, the right answer to this question is the Flaming Groovies' Flamingo and Teenage Head records.

Jonestown still is a great Stones!

Actually, based on last night's mighty fine performance, they're now back to being a great drone/fuzz/psych/gaze act.

Boo to that, Ned! The last time I saw them I was drunk right be the stage and I kept antagonizing Anton, asking him to play "Dead Flowers." He said to me, "I'd love to play it. Fuckin' A! But these fuckers [motioning to his band] can't play shit." One of the guitarists heard him say that, and then it turned into a screaming match. The night before I saw them and Anton yelled, "Yalls haters, not lovers! You remember Kurt, Jimi and Jim? Well guess who's next?" And then he walked off stage. I love that man.

Anton had his stroppy moments last night, bless him. I did like the fact he flatly called one song "Johnny Marr is Dead."

(okay, two more anton moments: one of my best friends spent a day with anton in cleveland trying to procure him some heroin (my friend finally gave up and just gave anton his own stash, bless his heart). another: anton supposedly beat the shit out of one of his bandmates recently using the old soap in a pillowcase trick. cuz the dude threatened to quit the band. way to convince him to come back, anton!)

All I am going to say is that almost NOTHING mentioned on this thread sounds anywhere near as much like the Rolling Stones (or anywhere near as good, for that matter) as almost all of the second Faster Pussycat album, *Wake Me When It's Over.*

a whole slew of early elvis costello songs could've been great Stones songs -- "you belong to me," "pump it up," "miracle man," "waitin' for the end of the world," "i'm not angry," goodly portions of get happy!!. with some exceptions, the more EC got away from sounding stones-y, the more he began to suck.

I love Stonesy raveups with female vocals. It's like,
"Screw you Mick, wizened misogynist ***hole. We can beat you
at your own game."
See Sheryl Crow, "If It Makes You Happy," among others, and
Liz Phair, "Help Me Mary," among others.

The beginning to "Hey" by The Pixies always struck me incredibly Stones-y. That slinking bass and when the guitar kicks in....hoooo! It definitely has that swagger. I can definitely see Mick purring "We're cha-a-a-ained, we're cha-ained, we're cha-a-ained, we're cha-a-ained, we're cha-ained".
