apart from Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man and Midnite Rambler, I got to say that Let it Bleed is the MOST overrated record after Beggars Banquet, and my least favourite. I even prefer A Bigger Bang, especially since Midníte Rambler is 1000 times better live. YCAGWYW? I've attended only TWO great performances of that song, Atlantic City in 1989 and Oslo in 2007. (Hearing that one live about 30 times).

The perfect Stones song. Bookending Let it Bleed's messaged of doom and decay with a closing curtain on the 60's: the end of hippies, the end of naivety, the end of optimism, the end of an era. Opening with a choral that is sickly sweet, dripping with a cloying angst of beauty and dread. The opening acoustic is like a bright sunny day on a open green with swaying skeletons sipping tea and eating scones. Jagger's angst ridden voice slithers forward singing of the height of hypocrisy of the upper class. All appearances of pomp and circumstance, yet just as decadent and duplicitous, tea and sympathy. And then you are kicked in the stomach the opening salvo of Miller's fantastic drum heralding the chorus of ultimate cynicism and optimism fighting like a devil and angle perched on each shoulder engaged in that endless battle for your conscience. The song roils and boils and builds and builds until the frantic gospel fade out. This is epic, and again combines that sweetly sick edge of decay and decadence that heralded a new era of overindulgence and narcism. One of their finest recorded moments and an opera of irony. Love it.

Short fat fanny excuse me! I put it wrong! I meant that Let it bleed is the most overrated record after 1968, I LOVE BEGGARS BANQUET, probably my second favourite album after Tatoo You (Before Beggars I don't really dig nothing, 'cept a couple of tracks on the Between The Buttons). But LIB just ain't doin it for me, album-wise. I prefer B & Blue and ER.
As I'm an avid vinyl listener I found some cool Stones stuff yesterday.

One of Mick Taylor's greatest solos. The description is wrong though, Bobby Keys does not play here.

Mick Taylor with The Stones was a great match, BUT, I'd have taken Ry Cooder over him easy. Wasn't to be. Ours' and The Stones' loss.
