Every period has its own magic in my opinion. I love the creativity from '65 to '68, I love the golden period of '68 to '73 where Jagger and Richards where the best songwriters in the history of rock, and where the band accidentally had a wonderful lead guitar player adding a third dimension during live shows. I love the sleaziness of the '75/'76 shows, and I love the tightness, the rhythm section and weaving of the '77 to '83 period. '89/'90 was great as they showed the world why they once were the greatest R&R band in the world, but I really believe they should have quite when Wyman left.
Everyone is entitled to its own opinion. But what really bothers me, as this board is dear to me, is the sheer overpowering of Kleermaker and to lesser extent Amsterdamned. With each and every thread that is started, if you leave 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee they have extended the thread to 7 pages with about 34 posts –all heated arguing and name calling.
And the posts are all the same: you are a total idiot because you like a piece of music that does not have Taylor playing on it. If you dare to say otherwise, I will show you that you don’t understand music with parallels to Mozart. All great guitar parts are by Taylor, and if not it is Keith copying Taylor because he was jealous of Taylor.
Again, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I don’t want anyone to leave this board. But the overpowering of Kleermaker (and of other posters long before Kleermaker joined) has made respected posters leave, and has made this board less fun. And this board is too dear to me to let that happen if I can do anything about it.

It is a shame when folk choose to leave, but kleermaker, it seems, decided to post in a certain way and joined firing taylor bullets in the direction of anyone who did not see things his way, he tried to use a Taylor - Mozart name association game too, pathetically so IMO.
Anyway, you can't go pissing on people's favourite music ie post taylor stones and/or musicians ie Ronnie Wood and not expect to get flack for it, if you are going to post like that best not be too sensitive or give of a damn what other people think.
He said stuff, got the replies he deserved, but couldn't take the heat so he left... Again.

I'm just wasting my time by posting here any longer.
So my friends, I'm gonna kiss you goodbye. I was away for quite some time and that felt very good, but I made a big mistake by coming back. So bye boys, I'm leaving here. No more fun.
Many thanks again to the uploaders. I owe them a lot. Best part of the site imo.

Like many taylorites here, silly name, he seems to have issues with Ronnie Wood as a player and the stones with Ronnie as a member.

What would be the big deal in letting someone else have a song on a Stones record, are they that artistically perfect that Wyman, Jones, Taylor and Woods couldnt even get a writting credit on any song let alone one of their own. Surely they are not that greedy that they must get every cent they can, have they thought of encouraging or even helping out other band members.

Not just "taylorites"(stupid name) have a problem with Ronnie woods "playing", I'd say guitar players in general do.
I'm not trying to knock the stones as a band after Mick left, but Ronnie doesn't really give anybody a reason to defend his playing.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to knock Ronie, if thats's how it came out. I'll give him credit, the solo on "Hand of fate"(if that was him that played it) was pretty good. Did he ever really get many chances to do solos on their studio albums though?

What are some of Mick's best solos from his time with Bob Dylan? I know he plays a nice solo at the end of 'sweetheart like you' and has some nice ones on the 'real live' album, but can anyone point out some other ones worth checking out?
