Guys’ Guys need good music and for the past fifty years, the Stones have spun a wicked soundtrack. Like them or not, you have to admit the Stones have withstood time.

So, What do men want?
This is a loaded question for sure, but I can answer it in one word. Men want M-O-R-E. Yep, that’s what they want. It’s that simple.

There is no shortage of opinions on the subject and I’ve come away from my research without a clear-cut answer.
