imme Shelter is possibly one of the most haunting and apocalyptic songs ever written, lots of war imagery provoked.
McCartney and Lennon were no slouches in the social commentary arena either but you're right on Jagger....his lyrics are much more raw and direct.
In that arena, though, I think Ray Davies beats them all.
And perhaps it was just after The Beatles, but Give Peace a Chance and all that probably literally influenced the politics of Vietnam. Certainly the White House thought so. I've never heard mention of any of the Stones in that same air.
