Lots of folks complain about them not releasing the past, yet they have little patience to appreciate the present. Buddha works! Focus on the now! Forget about your used to be!

Yes I understand Gazza, what I meant was they kept pretty static set lists playing JJF, BS, GS, HTW, etc...and have kept that tradition up to the present with those core songs. However, I also meant that starting in 89 they started really expanding their live shows to a broader range of their catalog, and I like that aspect. Hey at the end of the day was what I really meant is that I still am having fun with the stones what ever they do, and just really enjoy the music and life, and don't get too hung up on drama, just dig the music and fun. Don't take it sooooo serious...lol.

I'm a newbie too. Ok, not new just new to posting much of anything. And I've noticed what you mean. I happen to love "Voodoo Lounge" and play it as much as "Some Girls".
I've been a fan since 78 and the much maligned SNL appearance. I was only 10 years old. The AOR station in my hometown started playing alot of the albums at midnight. I taped them and that is how I had my first copies of any Stones LP.
"Dirty Work" is the one I care for as a whole the least. "Sleep Tonight", "One Hit to the Body" and "Harlem Shuffle" I think are great. The rest, well, not bad just not great.
"Steel Wheels" is a great little disc. I love the barely finished sound that disc has.
"Bridges to Babylon" is the weakest of the modern Stones era in my opinion. I never did like "Has Anybody Seen My Baby" or "Saint of Me". Whereas "Thief in the Night", "Lowdown" and "Might as Well Get Juiced" I have on the mp3 player and play all the time.
"A Bigger Bang" I think is a great disc, period. Some tracks are stronger than others, but that is true of every album they have ever recorded except "Sticky Fingers" if you ask me. But like everything else that is a matter of taste.
Like Keith once said of my generation...We've had the sun, the moon, the stars and the Rolling Stones...and I like it that way.><
