The Rolling Stones (343 songs)

As I mention on the Beatles Covers page, I've collected free, legal, on-line covers of Rolling Stones songs over the years. Early on, many were found at the now-defunct MP3.com, but I then stumbled upon a treasure trove at the Internet Archive's Live Music Archive. Unfortunately, the songs are not always credited to the Stones in the set lists, so I usually end up searching the archive for individual song titles. (Or simply trying concerts at random - in one live song cover, the artist says that Steve Earle once advised her to always include at least one Stones song in each concert!) I've run across a couple of parodies, like John Cipollina's "Honky Tonk Jekyll & Hyde", but haven't included them in this list.

Although I have their earlier LPs (stored in a closet), I mostly listened to the Stones' Beggars Banquet through Goat's Head Soup albums. Consequently, I'm a little rusty on the early albums and I didn't really follow the group after the mid-1970s. As with the Beatles, there are a number of Rolling Stones cover bands (e.g., Dirty Work) whose works I've not included here.

Video sites such as YouTube are a relatively recent and inexhaustible source of Rolling Stones covers. I include YouTube covers if I happen upon one, so you'll find a few scattered here and there below, but I don't make an effort to catalog each and every one available.
