Beggars Banquet - Mick and Keith started their path to develop as great songwriters and Keith use of open tunings and the rest is history.

It has been Beggars Banquet for many years now.
The sound of it, the songs, the freakiness, the performances. It's brilliant!

Just a question: I read a lot about open tunings on this forum. Why would a song in open tuning be a better song than a song in standard tuning? Or am I reading too much into this?

It's not that it's a better song, it's that it sounds better, if it lends to it. So I guess you're not reading too much into it.
Think of it like this: U2's Angel Of Harlem. Would that sound better to you in open G? Probably not.
Start Me Up - if it was played in standard it wouldn't be as good. Still a good song, just doesn't sound as good. It's a simple thing.

Open tunings does not make any song better but it can add that thunderous sound dimension - JJF and SFM on acoustic guitar with open tunings no electric guitar and you get that wall of sound.

I can never decide between Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed.
