| Song |
"Citadel" is a song by English rock band The Rolling Stones, released as the second track on their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Driven by a guitar riff played by Keith Richards, the song is notably harder, with a stronger guitar presence, than other songs on the psychedelic album.
According to bassist Bill Wyman, the song had the working title "After Five".
It has been covered by many alternative and punk bands including British punk group The Damned, British post-punkers The Comsat Angels, and American alternative rock band Redd Kross.
Serbian rock band Električni Orgazam covered the song on their cover album Les Chansones Populaires.
