Yup, rock nyc took a look at Jesus Christ’s Ipod last year. Not to mention President Bam. Mary Magpie forces the band’s she interviews to fess up to their guilty ipod pleasures. And Boston Globe hastles their interviewees for their ipods.
Rolling Stone spoke to Bono (of course) and 49 other big time rockers to reveal their Ipods.
here is Chris Robinson’s Rolling Stones faves and I will just mention that tencnically speaking “Memo From Turner” is Mick Jagger not the Stones.
1.”Midnight Rambler” 1969
A woman told me years ago that she saw the Stones in ’72 and masturbated when they played “Midnight Rambler.” I was like, “It’s a song about a guy breaking into a house and raping somebody!” How dark and weird, and yet it’s an incredibly powerful piece of music.
2.”The Worst” 1994
A great Rasta song by Keith off Voodoo Lounge. I can hear echoes of Parsons, too.
3.”Tumbling Dice” 1972
The most quintessential, coolest rock & roll song ever made.
4.”Wild Horses” 1971
5.”Let It Bleed” 1969
One of those songs that makes you feel like being bad. That’s what rock & roll is for sometimes.
6.”Monkey Man” 1969
Jagger at the end transforms it into crazy music, like Link Wray crazy or Little Richard crazy or Syd Barrett crazy.
7.”Time Is on My Side” 1964
8.”Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” 1971
You can hear 400 years of European and African music in one little “wa-na-na-wa-na-na-da-da-da-da” here.
9.”Shine a Light” 1972
It’s a beautiful roots/gospel-type song. There’s a great juxtaposition in the verses and chorus between redemption and salvation.
10.”She Smiled Sweetly” 1967
11.”Jiving Sister Fanny” 1975
12.”Coming Down Again” 1973
13.”You Got the Silver” 1969
14.”Memory Motel” 1976
15.”Memo From Turner” 1970
