Charlie Bill and Keith were the best rhythm section in rock history.They had a unique Ang great sound.Brian Taylor and Ron were the icing on the cake
I agree with most of the Stones' repertoire, but then there are exceptions, where a stylistically different bass player can do a better job, this is true for any musician. It doesn't mean being better or worse, it just means having a style that is more suitable for that particular song.Quote

That's really hard to argue a counterpoint.

So true, but that really doesn't change Taylor1's original point, does it?

With AC/DC one : Malcolm Young, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams were the powerhouse rhythm section that helped define the band signature sound and made AC/DC one of the most legendary rock acts of all time.

I always hate it when people compare musicians. It's obvious that each of them plays differently, but if you play a song and it sounds fantastic, it means you did a good job, another bass player would have done it differently, maybe worse, maybe better.
Bill is a great bass player, but for some songs, maybe he wouldn't have been so incisive.

Would someone kindly post a list of all Stones tracks to feature Keith on bass?
I only know of the following:
Sympathy For The Devil
Street Fighting Man - this was news to me!
Jumpin' Jack Flash - this was news to me!
Live With Me
Happy
Silver Train - this was news to me!

I once heard an act with a certain Johnnie Johnson on piano, Ebby Hardy on drums and Willie Dixon on bass that wasn't bad either, but I can't remember the name!
And that other band with DJ Fontana, Bill Black and Scotty Moore wasn't bad either. Who was the singer?
Erm, Chuck Berry?

I think the first released song to feature Keith on bass was Let's spend the night together. There are others on Between the Buttons: Connection and Sweetly for sure.
In general, Keith plays bass on most of the songs with him on vocals: Happy you already know, but also coming down again, before they make me run and T&A come to mind.
Other great Keith bass lines are Heartbreaker, Some Girls and Pretty Beat Up. Very little Wyman on Undercover, by the way

It is just so sad to see people always trying to figure out 'who's best, who's better' when it comes to Taylor/Wood or Watts/Jordan and now Bill...
Pointless discussions because you will never get to a definite answer.
Here are classic songs Keith didn’t play on: Sway, Moonlight Mile, Winter, Heaven, Saint of Me, Shine A Light, Stop Breaking Down,Emotional Rescue, and others.Charlie didn’t play on You Can’t Always Get What You Want, IORR , Happy ,As Tears Go By, Play With Fire.Mick isn’t on several songs like Happy.Wood isn’t either.So what is your point?Quote

True. Sympathy For the Devil comes to mind. And of course JJF. But played live there's no let down with Bill doing the parts of others on bass. In fact I think his Ya Yas playing on Live With Me is far better than Keith's. That doesn't take away from the fact both Keith and Ronnie have had their moments on bass. And I've always been partial to Bill's jazzy little organ at the end of JJF.
