Songs that should have been dropped:
Streets Of Love
Infamy
Let Me Down Slow
Biggest Mistake
maybe Back Of My Hand & Dangerous Beauty.
wow...your first 4 were impeccable but you lost me when you added BOMH & DB

Quite many posters seem pretty certain that their own estimation is the uncontested point of view. I myself am rather familiar with the experience of not sharing others' views.
I suggest that the band makes the record that they themselves want to present and don't follow proposals of posters here.

I seem to be in the minority here but I thought ABB was a pretty damn good album.
you know why i like you-well,...
when i used to do coke i knew this guy named steve who had the most low grade,7th generation blow you'd ever seen.i even had a name for it"stepped on steve"
now my actual person got these ki's from fla that when you bought it from him he would take out a big knife[ sometimes cutting through packaging]and ..well you get the idea.
but there was always a time,usually about the crack of dawn[two days removed]when you ran out.----- wasnt home so we had to-...call...steve....
i just went from some stuff that a week before was in a styrofoam cooler being thrown off the deck of a fishing boat in south florida to..."stepped on steve."
However-there was always someone,at some point who would look up and say"hey,you know this isnt't that bad."
HonkeyTonkFlash you are that guy,and i thank you for it-but it's not helping.
Well, I never said ABB was Exile but what is? I still maintains that as rock albums go, it's a damned good one.
lem motlow is talking about an album by an other artist no?....
I like to know.
Maybe BUSH DOCTOR DELUXE by Peter Tosh. The one with the scrath and sniff cover.

All this talk about ABB on this thread... has me thinking. IF I was a, say 20yo, at the time of ABB release, and liking what I thought was rock and roll at the time, I think I would have thought, AT THE TIME, that ABB WAS a great record! For us, most of us, in our, uh hum, later years, having lived with and through the Stones late 60s, early 70s output, yes, we probably, indeed DO, THINK ABB is of lesser quality. If ABB was our intro to The Stones, and liking rock and roll, I reckon we would think it's a beauty!

As long as the Stones still have the heart and passion to be making new music and hit the road, I'm in. The world is a better place knowing the Rolling Stones are still out there doing their thing.

Rolling Stones confirm new blue-inspired album for 2016
By Matt Everitt & Mark Savage
BBC 6 Music News
Reuters
The Rolling Stones have confirmed they're working on a new, blues-inspired album for release this year.
"We're actually in the studio in the moment cutting new stuff," Keith Richards told BBC 6 Music.
Guitarist Ronnie Wood added that the band recently "cut 11 songs in two days. Just 'bang' - like that."
"It was a surprise to us. We didn't intend doing it," he told Matt Everitt. "I wish I could play them to you now. I'm so excited about them."
The Rolling Stones haven't released a studio album since 2005's A Bigger Bang, although they wrote two new songs for the 2012 compilation record Grrrr!
The sessions have included new material and a series of blues covers, including songs by Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf.
"They sound so authentic it's frightening," said Wood.
"We didn't spend any time rehearsing them or anything. We just picked a song that suited Mick's harmonica or a guitar riff... and they worked out pretty good.
"It was like, 'this is what the Stones do, we play blues.'"
"It's sounding really good," added Mick Jagger. "We did one session before Christmas. We'll probably do more."
UK tour dates
"It's very easy and free," said drummer Charlie Watts. "Keith plays the same now as he ever did. He sits there and plays a song and if something comes to him, he'll put that into it."
Wood said the new music would be released "sometime this year", while Jagger said the band would be announcing more shows in the coming months.
"We'll come back to the UK, indeed," he said. "It doesn't feel very long since we played [here] but actually it's ages ago now."
"I think our main thing is playing live these days," Richards added. "Within the band, we always feel like the next show is going to be better.
"For a bunch of reprobates we have an incredible dedication to our job."
The band were speaking at the launch of Exhibitionism, a career retrospective at London's Saatchi Gallery.
Billed as the largest exhibition of Stones memorabilia ever mounted, it includes a recreation of the studio where they recorded Sympathy For The Devil, and the band's filthy first flat in Edith Grove, Chelsea.
It also includes key instruments, album art, diary entries, tour posters and the band's flamboyant outfits.

"I'd be cool if the recorded some old blues songs along with some originals..."
"They recorded some originals and some blues standards. What they keep or use will be determined by whatever comes out of the next session, is my guess"
Mpj where are you?!
