It's like slow heavy metal, lol... they were probably built for comfort

It depends if you want to listen to off key Dylan or the
biggest Rock & roll band in the world who know how to entertain.

I like the stones but to me this sounds much better if you close your eyes and don't watch Mick poncing about on stage in his purple shirt. I like him playing the harp but his vocals really are not that flash either. The other stones song posted is much much better, Mick with someone who can sing makes a difference.

We will likely have to agree to disagree but IMO it is chalk and cheese. The Stones great band - this song ordinary in the very category for me.

I don't know how anyone can have a favourite. .... the best song is determined by whatever your mood is at the time.

Although I put tarantella up as a joke, when I'm feeling nostalgic, it often does seem like the best song, other times when I'm singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of my lungs that seems like the best song ever, when I'm feeling proud as an aussie you just can't beat 'land down under' ... and I have another 100 songs that would easily qualify

I can't remember what mood i was in the other night but i can tell you when i first heard that song i was transformed forever.

Even my friend who took too many freakin' drugs and could do nothing but tell you everything was crap man was impressed: never forget that day!

You know, I had to look up who The Seekers actually were. Sort of a pseudo-hippie Australian versh of The Mamas and Papas. Seems like whatsherface Judith Durham was the band though for without here, the rest of those dudes would all be accountants by now.

I must admit I have never heard their music until you posted their vid. Appears they had some hits and were world renowned. Judith has a great voice though. I'd take it over Kylie and/or Olivia anyday.
