Song: Shattered

Quick Thoughts: How could a band formed in 1962 still be going strong? If you ask American music critic Robert Palmer, their "remarkable endurance" stems from being "rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music" while "more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone". With lyrics by Jagger on a guitar riff by Keith Richards, Shattered is full of crazy raw energy. Jagger said he wrote the lyrics in the back of a cab. Part of it played in Weird Al's Hot Rocks Polka.

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
