It says more about the nature of celebrity, at least as it pertains to rock and roll, which doesn't allow an artist to age as gracefully or as prolifically as other forms of expression, like film, art (painting), literature, etc.Quote

What does this say about how creativity works?

There's a band that went even further : Jane's Addiction.
They recorded 3 albums between 1987 and 1991 yet they wrote 95% of their entire catalogue between 1986 and 1987.
They split up in 91 and reformed a few years after but they never managed to write anything worthy of these two golden years.

You're right, in one aspect, of it being "like 12 years". As far as recording albums go, what you're talking about is 1964 to 1979 technically, it's 15, which is basically what you said.

from satisfaction ('65) to writing/recording of Some Girls (completed in '77)

For some reason I thought you included TATTOO YOU, which has the latest (band) recordings being 1979.

Slave, from BAB, and Tops from GHS, of course.
I still love Neighbours, from what all I can tell, one of two of the actual newest songs on TATTOO YOU.

gigs pre 1970 were a lot shorter, many of the early gigs were 8 to 10 dongs. and in a lot of cases they performed twice a day.

This made me larf out bloody LOUD. With 8-10 Dongs they SHOULD be able to perform MORE than twice a day!!!
A natural progression. Would you want to be locked in a 50-year (& Counting) sausage party?Quote

Yeah, I think Neighbors may have actually been the one track the band cut in '81

They wrote dozens of very good-excellent songs post 1977. But the musical landscape has changed dramatically then. The golden days of rock music were gone. Had those days continued, many of the post-77-songs would be classics just like the songs of 1971/72. For example, Rough Justice or Flip The Switch would have been enormously successful, those songs would have had the same impact as Brown Sugar! No doubt One Hit would have been a chart-topper. But there´s no use in moaning, every decade belongs to a different audience/different style of music, the old bands have to step back and make way for younger bands, it has always been that way. Bands like the Stones and Deep Purple still made good music but the younger audience didn´t cared, they found new heroes and the die-hard-fans got older and decided to live in the past, glorifying the 1968-72-period and missing a lot of good music. Everything was written in like 12 years? No.

Most likely not -there were no band sessions in 1980 or 1981, all sessions were mixing and overdubbing by Jagger and sporadically Richards only. Neighbors most likely is from 1979. Same for Heaven. Start Me Up Is from early 1978, and not from the B&B sessions.

If there would have not been Brown Sugar but Rough Justice/Flip The Switch instead in 1971, those songs would be classics. This is not caricature Stones (I cannot understand how one can see it as a caricature) this is Stones in all their glory. Of course the sound is familiar after all these years but imagine Rough Justice being released in 1971. Critics and fans would have been delighted. Not to mention latter-day gems like Love Is Strong or Undercover Of The Night. On par with the best I´d say. Unfortunately songs like these never got what they deserved.

The reggae version of Start Me Up is from Black and Blue, I think the rock version may be from '78

No, there's 3 reggae versions available in tape trading circles and all are from 1978. There's no B&B version known.
