A Bigger Bang?

That is the title of The Rolling Stones’ 2005 studio album and it doesn’t have one ounce of the raw power or "bang" effect that their second single did, which was released 42 years earlier (in 1963). The single I am referring to is The Rolling Stones' cover of The Beatles’ well-known “I Wanna Be Your Man.” It is total Punk Rock decades before the genre was officially mainstream. At a running time of 1:42, the song absolutely roars with Bill Wyman’s pulsating bass and Keith Richard’s stinging leads. It is just another reminder that at one time, The Rolling Stones were the greatest Rock band in the world. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
