More accurate to say it is glam, the melding of funk with rock, then add Jagger's glam outfits and makeup. Bamb! Glam rock.

Prog Stones? That's probably the dumbest thing I've read this year.
Better to take a look at your own postings before dishing out such a comment. It is dumb to view the term progressive in a narrow minded way.
100 Years Ago is progressive within the context of the music of The Rolling Stones.

Objection, Your Honour! I don't hear "Jagger's glam outfits and makeup" on 100 Years Ago. Nothing glam in it, neither in the lyrics nor in the music. I hear some different musical styles synthetically put together (rock, ballad, some funk' maybe) as well as conspicuous changes of mood, both in the lyrics and in the music. It's a nostalgic, somewhat melancholic and 'angry' ("I warn you!" ) song. No glam but real drama (paradise lost).
Romantic? Sustained!

Why do many people put down Keith's contribution to this song. He wrote the song. He also sings on it!

Because Keith didn't actually contribute to it?

Well, I guess I should have said progressive, not glam. Is Hunky Dory glam or prog? Ziggy Stardust? Diamond Dogs?

To state you like this is to state you love reading James Joyce's Ulysses before bedtime.

You were witty once, exceptionally. So go easy, don't exaggerate.
Besides, it were three Stooges.

Alway's have mixed emotion about this song, it has some great parts but I never liked the singing/jelling of Mick's voice over the Wah Wah guitar.. too messy in my opinion.
