I think MT honed the Stones sound from his era with the band. I wonder what Exile might have sounded like if RW was in the band instead of MT during that period?

Thats tough. Mainly because I'd have to think of a song that I really think of as being made by his contribution. Probably either Ventilator Blues or Time Waits For No One. Those are just ones I think are synonymous with Taylor.

I think Shine a Light lead guitar on Exile was brilliant by MT, Stop Breaking Down was really good as well. I am really happy he is back and will rejuvenate and give new life to the band. They really could use it!

Moonlight Mile.

The best song with Taylor: Moonlight mile. Shake your hips is the best one with Taylor and Keith together, imo.

Hard to pick really, but probably Time waits for no one.

What a drag it is gettin' old

The best song with Taylor
Ventilator blues or Bitch b]

Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and any live version of Midnight Rambler he is on.

His playing on You gotta move is pretty awesome as well. As authentic as it gets.

Without a doubt:
Can't you hear me knocking
Time wait's for no one

No mention for All down the line??

Sticky full album, Exile full album, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out full album. bFingerprint File, Time waits for no one, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker), Dance Little Sister...

Gold era.

Lots of songs without Taylor on guitar on Exile, though.

A hard question, but as for studio songs I'll pick Sway.

Silver Train - he just excels on this superb song.

It has to be Sway. MT's outro solo is the greatest thing ever committed to tape.

Time Waits, definitely. It not only would have been different without Taylor, but also without MT it wouldn't have existed, as this one is said to be one of his missing writing credits, though I'm not sure if he actually came up with the idea for the song himself.

You could also file that one in a 'What's your favorite Nicky Hopkins Stones song?' thread, a song played so well in studio that it's never once been attempted live.

The first one he plays on tonight!

Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

Sway
Dead Flowers a la Marque Club
Time Waits for No One
Ventilator Blues
Satisfaction live versions

I'm not sure what compositions are Taylor's, other than Ventilator Blues. But as far as songs I love his guitar work on, the short list would be...

Sway
Gimme Shelter (Brussels - First Show)
Tumbling Dice (Brussels - First Show)
(Doo Doo Doo Doo) Heartbreaker - (Brussels - Second Show)
Satisfaction (Ya Ya's)
Dance Little Sister
100 Years Ago
Midnight Rambler (Ya Ya's)
Can't You Hear Me Knocking

...impossible choice...but I'd love to hear him do an electrifying live version of Time Waits for No One.
