New thread series pitting 1 song against another.

Hey Jude vs Sympathy for the Devil

It’s a classic match up. The story goes that at a party in 1968 that both Jagger and McCartney were at that Jagger put on the unreleased Sympathy for the guests. McCartney, not wanting to be outdone, brought out an early copy of Hey Jude for the guests. Must of been a hell of a party.

Hey Jude

One of McCartneys best. Written for John Lennons son Julian in the wake of Lennon leaving his first wife for Yoko. McCartney changed the title from Jules to Jude as it sounded better. It has the early McCartney magic with a great melody and fun sing a long end.


Sympathy for the Devil

Simply one of the most innovative songs in rock history, both lyrically and musically. Written by Jagger, with Richards suggesting to turn it from a folksy song to the samba African rhythm that was released. Song is sung as the Devil in the first person, going through some of the worst events in history.

Sympathy for the Devil is a brillant song. One of the best the Stones have recorded.

Hey Jude is a good campfire sing along pieçe, nothing more.

Stones get the vote.

I hate the Beatles. I don’t like the stones much either but SFTD is a decent enough song
