I'll second that, Keith Richards and Taylor, the entire band at their best.

No

Keith on Sympathy outshines everything else, it´s Stones magic.
Ronnie did a good solo on YCAGWYW on LYL...
Of course MT did some good soloing here and there, but overall he´s overrated. They needed him live as a lead guitarist (could have been as well any other skillful player though), but not in the studio. Keith did all the playing on their masterpiece LIB. Keith is the man. Taylor tried to soften the Stones (thank God in vain).

Two Decades of Number One Guitar Solos in Number One Songs


Q: If you were to pick the top three guitarists from those two decades who might they be and why?

A: I have to start with Danny Cedrone, whose incredible solo on Bill Haley & His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” in 1955 set the standard for all who would follow. (Sadly, he died from falling down a stairway before the song reached number one.) Next comes Keith Richards, for whom I have a new appreciation after writing this book. He got so adventurous in expanding what it means to be a rhythm player — but it’s also the ‘just right’ feel of his lines; he always served the song. On tunes like “Satisfaction” and “Honky Tonk Women,” he creates amazing counterpoints to Mick Jagger’s vocals; the result is a textural richness that only the Stones could claim at that point. To pull that off and still have those songs hit number one is quite a feat.

nah. overall Mick Taylor is underrated. he certainly deserves more credit than the throwaway status you're describing him with.

i love heartbreaker, seen a you tube clip of it live with unmatching photos, but it has great solo.

Yes. It's fantastic. As is the solo in Through The Lonely Nights.

Comparing Ronnie live to Taylor is funny.

But your pt about whether MT was really necessary in the studio is at least worth considering. The best argument for this case is, as you say, Let It Bleed--magnificent work by Keith. The counter-argument, though, consists of Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. Could they have been made w/o Taylor, with Keith playing a Let It Bleed-type role in the studio? Yes, they could have. But in my opinion, they would have been lesser efforts.

Just a few of the songs that would have suffered w/o Taylor's touch, just on SF:

Sway
CYHMK
Bitch
Moonlight Mile

Could Ronnie have cut those songs with the band and have achieved that same magic? No. Could Keith have? No. They would have been different, and at least to my ears, somewhat impoverished.

Worried About You
The song "Dirty Work" - chordal lead
And, yes, Ronnie on YCAGWYW on LYL - not technically a great solo, but lots of fun
Of course, Keith yayas Sympathy
Heartbreaker is just right also.

And CYHMK

I think in the big picture of rock guitarists Mick Taylor is underrated. I love all 4 Stones guitarists - this is not about that. But compared to other guitarists MT has never been outgoing and charismatic enough to help his own cause. Musically his solos stand out; there are so many outstanding ones. Yet when the lists are made he may come in at the very bottom.
