You cant compare pop to rock. Its completely different.

OP! go and stand in the corner and think about what you've done.

RingaRosie · 18/04/2020 11:44

Angie, Wild Horses, etc... YABU

Moves Like Jagger is a good pop song, but I don’t like that Levine guy.

SimonJT · 18/04/2020 11:45

It doesn’t matter what it sounds like, all that matters is Adam Levine in those trousers.

Notredamn · 18/04/2020 11:46

Blasphemy!

YABU - She's A Rainbow is spectacular. Sympathy For The Devil is my ringtone.

The Stones aren't perfect - they've performed some duds over the years. But they're still brilliance.

Also I do not trust Adam Levine one bit.

It is the ONLY decent song Maroon 5 ever did. It's a great track from a truly mediocre band.

I've never been a Stones fan.

Both bands have lead singers who are pretty much egocentric assholes. Last time I mentioned how much I didn't like the Rolling Stones on MN (about 5 years ago), I got trolled by another user. So I'll stop now.

But in agreement with you OP, it's a cracking tune.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 18/04/2020 11:52

YABU. I'm not actually that keen on the Stones but YABVU.

YouTheCat · 18/04/2020 11:52

The Stones have a massive catalogue of brilliant songs. Maroon 5 have an annoying few words with the same tune on a loop.

dudsville · 18/04/2020 11:53

The Influences for my vote:

I've always been annoyed by Mick Jagger's singing accent.

Under My Thumb was unfortunately one of the first songs I ever heard by them so I can't abide them.

Moves Like Jagger is a great little diddy.

YANBU OP.

iklboo · 18/04/2020 11:53

No. Just no.

coconuttelegraph · 18/04/2020 11:57

There's no hierarchy of songs, surely you like what you like, it's pretentious to try and make out otherwise.

How do you make your ears like something they don't? It doesn't matter who likes what, enjoy what you enjoy as long as you aren't blasting it out in your garden during lockdown who could possibly care?

Arseit · 18/04/2020 12:04

Moves like Jagger is an abomination.
I detest it.
So yes you are most definitely BU.

Jocasta2018 · 18/04/2020 12:07

The best version of a Rolling Stones song is in 'Absolutely Fabulous' series 1.

'(I can't get no) Satisfaction' is sung by Joanna Lumley & Jennifer Saunders on a karaoke gifted for Edina's 40th birthday.
Lumley's alter ego Patsy does an impression of Mick Jagger that has to be seen to be believed!
Absolutely cracking - and yes, bizarrely, I was box setting series 1 last night.

Rosiejim · 18/04/2020 12:08

Oh dear Lord. YABVU - Maroon 5 make music for those that do not like music.

1066vegan · 18/04/2020 12:14

YNBU for preferring it.

YBVVVVVVVVVU for saying that it's a better song.

It's a catchy pop song but the Rolling Stones are one of the greatest rock bands ever with a huge number of brilliant songs to their credit.

vampirethriller · 18/04/2020 12:21

Or as my brother sings "I've got man boobs like Jagger.."

iklboo · 18/04/2020 13:02

Or as my brother sings "I've got man boobs like Jagger.."

In our house it's 'moobs like Jabba'

Thurmanmurman · 18/04/2020 13:06

Maroon 5 are shite, sorry.

MehitabelWhurl · 18/04/2020 13:08

The Stones are hugely overrated.

Ugly man with shouty unpleasant voice stomps round the stage like he’s trying to get rid of a wedgie.

JaneJeffer · 18/04/2020 13:15

Both bands have lead singers who are pretty much egocentric assholes.
Part of the job description for a great majority of lead singers.

PuppyMonkey · 18/04/2020 13:18

What songs by the Stones have you actually heard OP?

JaneJeffer · 18/04/2020 13:20

To prefer " moves like jagger" by Maroon 5  to the actual Rolling stones songs?

YANBU. The stones are shit. Always have been. Most overrated band ever, and really need to call it a day.
