Tucson Train is the only song on Western Stars that is worth listening twice. The rest sucks tremendously since the songs are boring and the cheesy orchestra drags the album down completely.

If I could rewrite history, the Stones should've come back touring already in 2010, and playing Pludered My Soul and Following The River as their two new songs of the tour, and Doom and Gloom + One More Shot should've never happened.

Mistakes were always a part of it. This is R n R, not a piano concert by Rachmaninoff. At least it makes sure that the playing is actually LIVE. You can´t say that of many of today´s superstars.

QuoteTornAndFried We can agree TY had a different gestation than most of other albums but that doesn't define it as a compilation. It's still a collection of original and unreleased songs from the same artist. As Spock would say "that is highly illogical." ...from different periods... from different periods. That alone is proof enough that TY is a compilation Btw. M

QuoteGasLightStreet Somehow you can't handle what "album" means. I know that any bunch of songs is/can be called an "album".

QuoteTornAndFried They don't need the additional pressure of their fans I agree. But I don´t think they care about any "additiional pressure of their fans". They do what they do and it takes as long as it takes. Fans are always longing for a new album, had the Stones ever felt any pressure, we would have had 5 albums since 2005.

QuoteWorriedAboutYou A reunion at this stage would not only be pointless, but humiliating and depressing for everyone involved. I absolutely agree. The Kinks are forgotten by the general public. They would have to play for a handful of fans in some tiny spot in Soho. The Kinks were always dwarfs compared to the Stones, Beatles, The Who.

They dont play clubs anymore, it´s too hot in there. They have always complained about the incredible heat in such small venues. Too dangerous at their age, I think. They could use ventilators on stage but the cool air would make every bone in their bodies hurt like hell the next day. We have to accept that certain things are no longer possible for them.
