Re: Enough about Mick Taylor already

KA - I'm the 1st to admit that Taylor's more than human and doesn't "walk on water" and I've heard him hit a few wrong notes too, but that being said,
there's enough brilliant music out there that has him included to keep me happy
(for the moment) I just get pissed when I read where someone tried to downplay
his contributions to the Stones... Back in the day, all my friends who were into
the Stones sure noticed him!!! it was: did you heard that new album from the
Stones (Sticky Fingers) and Taylor's leads on Sway, CYHMK, etc. It was TAYLOR
everyone was commenting about not Jagger/Richards. Now that's not to say
MJ & Keith were not contributing to the music that was being produced, but
alot of comments around here are: it was Jagger/Richards composing this music
Taylor was just along for the ride, etc. Name one song that when you hear it,
you think; Oh - that's Ron Wood on guitar, that's Ronnie's playing a certain lead
that makes that song so special.... I can name many where Taylor involk's
that kind of a response!!!! MLC
