Good point, but I always thought that only an English bassplayer should
have replaced Bill.
Daryll is a sideman and always will be. Bill was and always will be - a Stone.

That´s not contrary to what I have said, sc. I never accepted Darryl as a "Stone".

But that's just it. Bill wasn't "replaced" in the group at all.
So there´s no bassplayer in The Stones???
I know what you mean
Neither was Mick Taylor.
This was certainly not a concious "decision", but I agree. The Stones have always been masters at incorporating non-rock/blues styles into their bluesrock -- at the same time always staying very "rock 'n' roll" and cool, even when singing stuff like As Tears Go By and Fool To Cry.
Rockman, you mean choosing that as their logo? number 1 good decision? agree 100% if thats your meaning..
Talk about your favorite band.

To part ways with Brian Jones and bring in Taylor as a fulltime member. The new sound that began with Beggars Banquet demanded a second guitar player more than before and since Brian couldn't do it because of his issues and the band couldn't afford to wait for him to get his life together I believe they made the right choice.
It just sad that Brian never got the chance to find another band and live longer with his new found energy at Cotchford. Even though he got his act somewhat together after he had left the Stones I don't think that he would have liked to join them again if he was asked to.

Getting together with Andrew has probably been the wisest decision of their career.

Not being afraid of doing effete things like LADY JANE or Mick singing falsetto. Some rock bands would be too image conscious regarding being a rock band.

Not being afraid to co-opt other styles of music which they perhaps did best with Some Girls. Some songs are of course better than others but they are all powerful. There is a wide range of emerging trends in music being utilized by The Stones on that one and older ones too. Whichever genre they were playing with during the various Some Girls tracks, well, they nailed them!
Another great question from Colonial!

Mick and Keith burying their differences in the late 80s and reviving the band.
Choosing Mick Taylor to replace Brian.
Keith separating from Anita, though it should have been done. before the Toronto bust.
Mick separating from Marianne.
Mick doing 'Performance' (a unique film, whether or not you like it).
Not releasing the film 'CS Blues' when it came out.
Getting rid of Allen Klein and hiring Prince Rupert.
Hiring excellent session musicians: Ry Cooder, Bobby Keys, Jim Price, Jim Dickinson, Billy Preston, Wayne Perkins, etc.
Using excellent producers, notably Jimmy Miller and Jack Nietsche.
Allowing Brian to use varied and unusual instruments like the sitar and mellotron.
Mick allowing himself to be influenced by Bob Dylan in his late 60s lyrics.
Going against the current trend in 1968 and using blues material in Beggars Banquet.
Making Exile a double album.
Not their own decision, but using the wonderful white cover on Beggars Banquet, with the fantastic inner photograph.
The 3-D cover on Satanic Majesties.

a good decision was to be "avant-gardist" (do you have this word in english ?)
They often innovated stages, influenced lots of other musicians, inspired punk music ("Please go home"), have succeeded in mixing different musical styles to make a unique one

Erm, the trend in 68 was to get rootsy and they didn't allow Brian to experiment with various instruments he chose to and did it because he wanted too.

To dump their message board on their own site. To post on it you had to be a paid fan club member. And I've never seen such concentrated, vicious, hate-filled anti-Stones commentary in my life. Of all places. Probably posted by a bunch of losers who've never accomplished much worth bragging about in their own lives. (You see hypercritical losers on this site, too, but such commentary is diluted by enough upbeat, positive fans.) Maybe why Mickjagger.com no longer has a message board, either.

i always thought it'd a good move to bring in a pakistani into the fold. very few bands go in that direction and it would have separated them from the pa(c)k, so to speak....

I was gonna mention their logo too. Excellent marketing/branding tool. It's got attitude, and most importantly, "Mick" written all over it.
