To this day very few groups have ever done a version of a Beatles song and come out on top. In my opinion, it's been done precisely once, by the Rolling Stones with their version of Lennon and McCartney's "I Wanna Be Your Man" from 1963. I very much like the Beatles' version as well, but the Stones made it sound like the perfect fusion of their blues and r&b roots (of the twenty-four songs on their first two albums, four were originals) and their own distinctive sound. It's clear that it was an important moment in their development as songwriters, in that it gave them the confidence of knowing that their education could make songs written anywhere (even right in front of them) sound like the real deal. The following video features Lennon telling the song's story, excerpts from both versions, and Keith's Beatlesque headshake tribute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8QEX3_aVig
