I've never noticed too many discussing The Rolling Stones in this forum before and I'm curious if anyone enjoys listening to them....
True, they did "copy" The Beatles from '64-'69, that they weren't the most talented as musicians, and Brian Jones who essentially was "their leader" passed away way too prematurely and they never really captured that same magic after that....
Although, several bands in recent memory really were heavily influenced by them along with the fact that they have remained true with their Blues roots for the most part, Mick Taylor was brilliant performing the "Let It Bleed" material live and stellar on "Exile On Main Street", and they didnt embarrass themselves when trying to branch out and try different genres (like how they experimented with Disco on "Some Girls")....
Edit: Who can possibly forget the Altamont experience? I recently obtained a copy of the documentary "Gimme Shelter" and the production of that was second to none....
Yeah their last couple releases left a little to be desired, but when I saw them in concert during their "Steel Wheels" Tour, it was totally amazing to see them rock thru their classics at a blistering rate.......
So, who here likes the Stones?
