The Rolling Stones are in the news this week. A new concert documentary covers their world tour a few years ago. The documentary is newsworthy because cinema great Martin Scorsese is directing it. The excitement over this news obscures this reality: the Rolling Stones have not issued a a great album since 1972's Exile on Main Street. That album capped an eight-year run that only the Beatles could match.

Don't waste your money on a documentary showing the Stones playing the same songs they mastered 40 years ago. If you want to see the real Rolling Stones, when they could still write songs and reign supreme over the competition, click below. The video clip below was created by a fan because the record companies were not focusing on videos in 1966. The album that year was Aftermath, a masterpiece that does not contain any of the songs that really made the Stones famous, like Satisfaction or Jumpin' Jack Flash. But Aftermath captures the Stones at a time when they were moving from straight blues towards late 1960's decadence. Aftermath brings us right in the middle of that transition.

Unless you are a Stones freak, you don't know the song below, "Think." Listen to the opening guitar sound, and the fuzz-tone. And the riff as a whole. Just listen to the whole thing. This was the sound of 1966.
