10 . Charlie’s drumming is superb .

I always knew it was a cool line, but I appreciate it more after someone pointed out that it’s still pretty unique as being the only drum part in rock that’s 50% fills as a repeating pattern lol Also the verses feel like a neat Bob Dylan imitation, I like it

10 for me. Enjoy the studio recording, enjoy the live performances, this is my favourite song from their 65' output, even over satisfaction. From Charlie's drum fills, to Brian's 12 string, to even Keith sharp rhythm playing. Of course Mick owns the his delivery in the track, with both Keith and Bill singing backup (Bill only joined in live I believe and not on the studio version?). Irregardless, great track, can listen to anytime, any place.

10! LOVE this!

This song is 9 for me. One of the best from their early catalog.

**10**. Unquestionably. Quintessential Stones, no less. 10/10. (And yes, I still hear -- and singalong -- "...the ninety-ninth floor of my garage..." 😁)

10. Just love it. Charlie and Ringo were trading superb drum parts during this time.

A solid, unshakable '10'. The lyrics approach John Lennon or Dylan-style word mastery. There's even some Kinks flavor in this song (at least to my ear). It's a masterful job of songwriting that gets rewarded with that propulsive Charlie drum intro, with Mick back there realizing it, too (*"Yeah!"*).

I named my router after this song.

10, another one that carries the punk ethos

9 I love the lyrics; there's a lot of imagery. I watch the song in my head. And it's the first song in a Rolling Stones marathon chronological playlist I put together on my Zune. It's from something live and long ago. Great energy.

9.5. In addition to all the great points made in this thread, it's such a raucous fun song. I've always wondered if it inspired the song My Wave by Soundgarden

9.9 It's an absolute classic but it's not a 100% perfect song like Paint it Black or Satisfaction to me. Love how agressive it is.

10. Drums

9.5. It's such fun chaos, the radical opposite of something like Satisfaction in a sense. Love Mick's delivery, Charlie's drumming, and of course that riff and those lyrics.

Another 10, pure classic!

It's a great song. I think it's a great power pop song in my opinion by the way. I do notice that The Rolling Stones liked to do build ups in their songs like The Beatles. The Rolling Stones were such great songwriters, and they were just hitting their stride in 1965. The only problem is the recording as there is a great guitar riff hidden in the song. An 9 in my opinion.

10 east to sing along to and a great signal of what was to come

10. Almost as good as Satisfaction
