22. You can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones 1969

DJing at clubs like Rubber Soul and the Lizard Lounge this was one of my favourite songs to finish off the night. starts off slowly with the choir singing and then really gets into the groove when the band kicks in. Kind of a sign that the end is coming but let's rock out one more time. It became kind of like my theme song around 1990. Ronnie Williams co-DJ at Rubber Soul wrote it on my birthday card that year. He thought it summed me up. Maybe it did.
The song was off the wonderful Let It Bleed album. The first Stones record I got into in a big way. I ignored the Stones except for the hit singles until 1984. I was round at Chris Harrington's from Large Number 12's talking about forming a group together. We did. It was called Blow Up and didn't do much except a gig at the Venetian Room and a gig as Little Murders launching 100 drugs. That day he played Let It Bleed. I didn't realise how good they were as an album band. I started buying the albums but it was that period from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street that was music I could immerse myself in.
