Quoteduke richardson he had Mick Taylor on there too but I dont remember when exactly.. I remember that one...Mick Taylor was talking from a phone booth and Stern dumped all over him, rubbing it in that he had left the Stones....making a joke that he should start up a band with Pete Best. I was disgusted and felt so bad for Mick.

I know it's the obvious choice but it's the one one song that brought me back into a Stones groove at the time... 'Love Is Strong' Honourable Mention (I Go Wild) Another great uber Stonsey song that sounds great played loud...

Quotewonderboy But to what the original poster said, if you were a teenager in 1975, the Stones were not your band. Nothing wrong with that -- every 10 years the kids get into something new. And if a band is lucky, it has 10 years where it really matters. The Stones had more than that, so good for them. I was a teenager in '75 and I went with a slightly older cousin to see them in Toron

QuoteHopeYouGuessMyName The Rolling Stones have been my favorite band for a long, long time. I will soon be 62.
