soundtrack: The Rolling Stones...discuss

In nightclub scene.

Do young people even know about The Rolling Stones? Its crazy how much good music out there and most young people don't even know they exist. They'd rather listen to people who can't sing or play a single instrument. Case in point: Kanye West. Even with auto-tunes he sucks. Did he ever even touch a musical instrument in his life. Not only that, he thinks he's the best which proves he is Krazy and needs serious mental help.

You could say that about plenty of bands...possibly the rise of the walkman/mp3 player/i-thing has contributed to the lack of knowledge. When I was growing up my parents played their music on 'the stereo' and I played mine. They must have hated some of the stuff I played, but then I have a thorough dislike of Rachmaninov thanks to my father.

What about people that refuse to watch black and white films? They're missing out on classics that make pretty much every top 10 / Top 100 list. But as they aren't colour they're dismissed immediately.

I'm 32.
I honestly do not like The Rolling Stones much at all. I believe Keith Emerson's strange cover of the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man" is far more important to the film than the Stones' "Brown Sugar".

That said, I hate the revised score used on the 2004-present releases of Nighthawks.

I much prefer Black Sabbath, The original Alice Cooper Band and Iggy Pop / The Stooges to either the Stones or Keith Emerson or ELP, but recognize their importance to the film over the replaced songs from the 2004-present Nighthawks releases.

The Stones have been touring continuously the last two years, while Keith Richards recently released a new album and has been on the cover of every music magazine on the stands. If they don't know about them they've been living in a cave.
