"It's Only Rock And Roll But I Like It"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Only_Rock_%27n_Roll_(But_I_Like_It)

Caribou and Squeezer,

Here is my list of songs from which I must choose only three for the band to "work up."

All purple titles with three asterisks are at "the head of the pack."

To help "close in" even more, I have made some of the "three asterisk titles" bold.

STONES SONGS:

*** Last Time (Stones) (Already On Mark's List) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM2b9CcH1KM

** 19th Nervous Breakdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU1kTuVSUOw

*** Honky Tonk Women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6M77oHD110

* Time Waits For Noone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC0Qt1lvLq8

** Just Waiting On A Friend (I really like this song although I'm not sure it's right for the band.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LDqQ6e6BTE

** Angie (I really like this song too although, again, I'm not sure it's right for the band.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXRExocnpUw

** Ruby Tuesday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QheJWiUAgSo

** Not Fade Away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shQQuLULa7U

*** Lady Jane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41K5Sqob2SQ

*** Play With Fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QlBTOAqHhk

** Have You Seen Your Mother Baby? (I might be able to do a great rendition of this but it will take time and more intimate familiarization with the lyrics and music.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xubWr3ogmZc

** Happy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53ZWIIn67ek

*** As Tears Go By: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLm_vVUhH5s

** Time Is On My Side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVeyo4W18U

*** It's All Over Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWoHep87Pc

** Let's Spend the Night Together (I think I could do a great job on this but I'm not sure it's right for a band which might have older people with young children in attendance.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBybJdTru-w

*** Wild Horses (I think this is already concerned part of the repetoire):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhwwCWkmYoc

*** Get Off Of My Cloud (Too high?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtqTS0nKo2A

** Brown Sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOBP7QMuHHs

** You Can't Always Get What You Want. (This is already in the repertoire by way of the "For What It's Worth - Can't Always Get What You Want" mash-up.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OagFIQMs1tw

*** Street Fighting Man (Too high?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64nCCjonKW0

*** Sympathy For The Devil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZZ7EX4eoE0

With Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkXIYgsvO0c I would make Sympathy bold in a heartbeat but I don't think we can play it until we have a conga or bongo player who can do the accompaniment. That said Chuck is prepared to have a go at it with me.

*** Satisfaction (What do you think? This is within my range but the lyrics feel somewhat juvenile for a 68 year old man. It's well within my vocal range which is a TREMENDOUS plus.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ncvuvd3fO0

*** Gimme Shelter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_a0zOLMAfw
