i hope that the new Album brings the STONES back to Rhythm and Blues. back in the early sixties where they did a lot of great songs. "Empty heart"--Michigan Avenue--Confession the blues----and so on and on. That was the Era of them.
I cant understand why the most of you prefer the 68-72 times. "Exile shocked me---if i heard the album the first time..Sure--I bought all their Albums, but still i think ---back to your roots. Live---they are--UNBEAT.
So , i really hope--they find the way back to the Blues---and 2 or three great Rockers.

i think they will..... but more 2000's sound too it. i think the new tracks from the 40 licks c.d...kind of sounded like their old stuff... don't stop/come on.
i hope the new album is more to their roots or at least to be more like jumping jack flash/brown sugar type!

You can't understand why most of us pick 68-72?

68-72 is the essence of the stones. If you don't like that era, you can't be a fan of the ultimate stonessound surely. That's the reason why they are still here (and the return to form on Some Girls).

Before and after that era a lot of classic albums were recorded by the Stones but never a better one.

When I first heard Exile I wasn't very impressed with it either. But after all these years it really became their best album (alongside Let It Bleed).

To bowiestone

dont understand Why you cant accept--That my Fav. Stones years were from6 63-66

Sure---B.B. L.i.b. S.f. E.m S--are Great albums

Im 52 and a real Stones-Fan.

Like what you like.

I ain't stupid, I'm just guitarded.

No, I can accept that your favorite stones era is 63-66.

But it's a bit silly for you to not understand why most fans prefer 68-72. I think you do understand.

Surely your a stonesfan. I was talking 'bout the definitive stonessound. To me that is especially 68-72.

Hell, I like Black and Blue.

The Stones will never sound like in the 60s, 70s, 80s again because they hardly repeated themselves. They know that a lot of fans already died since the early days and they also need new folks to buy their stuff. So tey will sound like the Stones 2005 (surely with some retro sounds but necessarily like today). And I think that's pretty okay!

Think about your future, stop livin' in the past (Sweethearts Together)

All we need is a new album soon!!!

Frankly,
I hope they come out with a completely "new" sound. Nearly everytime they have done that( Beggars, IORR, Some Girls, Tattoo You, Voodoo) they produce a great product. I would like to see a new era for the Stones vs. the end of the Stones (which this album could be).


Keith of course is completely straight
