NoshowJones Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The Rolling Stones - Walking the Dog youtube.c...ed/GF12siIHAFA Good musically, but very poor vocally for a five piece band. No harmonies in this band at all, Mick Jagger, no singer, but a ggod showman. If you want to hear a band which was great vocally, instrumentally, and had great harmonies, I give you "The Byrds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
