Moves like Jagger is a great pop song but the Rolling Stones have great rock songs. I’m not sure they can be compared because they’re so different really.
But music is subjective and there’s no right answer as to what is a better song.

I just love that tune!

It's a catchy tune and everyone's entitled to their opinion, however YABU

Have you heard Gimmie Shelter?

Of course you can like whatever music you like, and you're not unreasonable for that.

But lyrics like
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

Or

But he can't be a man cos he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me

Or paint it black

Or let's spend the night together

Fuck it.... yes, you're being unreasonable. Where's that vote button?

Good lord no.

ToyKitchenSink · 18/04/2020 01:11

YABU.
That is all.

Bet you love Boyzone too

Comparing apples to bicycles Shock YABU.

Try beginning the day with Start me up.
I love a Stones playlist for tidying and The Who for cooking.

MrsJBaptiste · 18/04/2020 09:25

So is Moves like Jagger not a Maroon 5 song? 😮

YANBU.

The misheard lyrics version is even better. 'I've got to move my dragon...'

Strugglingtodomybest · 18/04/2020 09:34

This reminds me of being a teenager! X band is better than Y band! Now I've grown up I realise there's no point in comparing and you can like who you like.

AllPlayedOut · 18/04/2020 09:36

YABVU. It's one of the most annoying songs ever.

crumpet · 18/04/2020 09:38

She’s a Rainbow is fabulous

TheWordmeister · 18/04/2020 09:41

Can’t stand the Rolling Stones but also hate that song 🤷‍♀️

SexIsAProtectedCharacteristic · 18/04/2020 09:44

You can't be serious.

I like that song, but it's a pop song, by a pop band. The stones are a blues rock band, that for a period were on top of the world. When were Maroon 5 the greatest band on earth? You're comparing totally different things.

VisionQuest · 18/04/2020 09:59

I would have to respectfully disagree with you there.

Maroon five are a cheesy pop band.

The Stones are absolute legends.

I'm not really sure how the two can be compared tbh!

TheQueef · 18/04/2020 10:01

Try thinking about Brown Sugar without an involuntary Jagger pout.

That's the difference, the Stones are muscle memory Grin

middleager · 18/04/2020 10:24

LOL.
YABVU.

There is no comparison between as pp said a "cheesy" pop band who nobody will remember and musical icons.

I suggest you listen to 'Let it Bleed' or 'Exile on Main Street'.

That's the only Maroon 5 song I know. They are vastly overrated and the singer is a cock.

DontTellThemYourNamePike · 18/04/2020 10:28

Christ on a bike. What am I hearing? Sorry, no, no .... no! I wouldn't switch off the Maroon 5 song if it came on the radio. It's inoffensive. But really, there really is no comparison.

Shuffles off humming 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 18/04/2020 10:30

Whaaat?!Grin yabu

VisionQuest · 18/04/2020 11:34

Agree with middleager - the maroon five singer is a massive cock.

Moves more like Mr Bean than bloody Jagger.

EL8888 · 18/04/2020 11:36

Maroon 5 are fucking terrible. Guaranteed headache for me!
