Gimme Shelter (1969) (3/10)

The song described by Mick Jagger as the “kind of end-of-the-world song, really. It’s apocalypse; the whole record’s like that” (Jagger, The Rolling Stones, 1995). It’s The Rolling Stones perfect storm: the ultimate Sixties eulogy and rock’s greatest bad-trip anthem, with the gathering power of soul music and pure rock and roll.
