I must be the only person on the planet who thinks The Stones are (and were) wildly overrated. I always found them unoriginal, 1trick ponies.
Gimme The Who any day of the week for that meaty, beaty, big and bouncy 60s/70s Brit rock sound (Live at Leeds makes anything The Stones recorded sound...
I have 58s smaller than some 57s and 59s as big as some 60s.
You'd think math/numbers would be fixed, right?
Imagine if this flexibility with numbers was applied in other areas of life: Next time I charge £1000 for a design job I'll tell the client that it's a "large £1000" (which is...

"Marvel 1602"...

Here's Glenn Miller's enormously successful (but patently 'borrowed') "In the Mood." Below that, one-armed Wingy Manone's "Tar Paper Stomp," which predates Miller's recording by 10 years.
Wingy was eventually paid-off to stop him...
I was thinking about the GE's revival interest in the early 1970s and, musically, in terms of popular culture, I think we owe it in part to The Beatles.
While the 60s can be defined as finding new forms: the new pop era (ie, Fab Four) and later Hippie/Flower Power movement, from around 1967...
I don't feel that the torture scene was at all gratuitous! Quite the opposite. From the very beginning of Bond there have been references to his sexuality. And it's true to the book, as has already been pointed out.
