Bill Wyman is a nonce.

Yes good point and I have mentioned it previously. Arguably less central to the band than Jimmy but a nonce all the same. Hopefully this little exchange doesn't provoke another "yes but 13 year old girls are not children" debate. I still feel a bit nauseous from the last one. 

Stop posting about it, then.

This is The Rolling Stones. Led Zeppelin are worthy semi finalists but this is The Rolling Stones. If the Stones don’t win this competition then I can only assume The Beatles were allowed in after all. British music goes like this:

 

1. The Beatles

 

2. The Rolling Stones

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Someone else. 

 

[A Red]

For me the Rolling Stones are marginally a bigger or more important band than Zeppelin but I cant stand the fake cockney singing and talking twat that is Jagger.

Agreed.

I thought this would be the final. Will enough people hold their nose and see past Jimmy's nonce past to put them in the final ? 

Mick Jagger was fucking Lori Maddox before she was 16 too.

 

As Tony says though, you could always stop posting about it.

[YorkshireRed]

Led Zeppelin currently leading 10-5. Seriously get to fuck.

I'm sure it's an honest mistake but you've left out S club 7 there

[cloggypop]

I tried to ignore half hour drum solos and decide by who wore the worse kecks. Stones had occasionally dodgy strides but nothing as bad as those flares with the dragon down the side that Jimmy Page loved. Stones it is.

Fucking love led zep, Stones win here though

[Trumo]

This one is a tougher call than the other semi. I looked through the songs I've got of both bands, and I have more Stones stuff.

[Jose Jones]

Just make this one the final and the other one the third place play off.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Rolling Stones. Still fucking great live and still releasing great tunes. I’d put them above the Beatles too.

 

 

[Moo]

Led Zeppelin.  

I like some Rolling Stones songs but not that arsed about them and Mick Jagger's affected voice.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Plant over Jagger but Richards is cool as fuck even today. And the Stones catalogue spans generations.

 

Status Quo was my favourite band growing up so I have an undefined musical palate. Maybe my vote should be weighted at half. (As far as I know the Quo are nonce-free)

[Nunavut Patrick]

I just fired the Stones into the lead 22-21

 

Like an NBA game this is going to be.

Given the bands in this semi, S Club 8 is probably more appropriate.

Fair point,but the answer is still 'The Stones.'

[YorkshireRed]

Checked back in to see The Stones are now leading. All is well with the world and I can happily head over to the breakfast thread with a renewed faith in the forum and it’s contributors. 

[Mook]

I'm contemplating the mother of all flounces.

The Rolling Stones or Led Zepplin v The Smiths in the final will be similar to the Citeh v Watford FA Cup Final last season.

[Juniper]

Shows the state of the music industry where we’re all still banging on about bands from 50 or so years ago.

 

Anyway, voted the Stones. Not a huge fan of either though.
