I know many of you aren't hip hop fans, but Malik Izaak Taylor aka Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest should definitely be included in that list of artists to memorialize. He was an important figure and a huge loss.

So much negativity. I wonder if they had done this, would people change their minds and say how awesome it was and how great it is that the Stones have such a great sense of humour?

I'm pretty sure the Stones can afford someone to design a great album cover for them. The one they went with is dreadful. Wow. It's like they didn't care. Hopefully the music will be better.

QuoteElmo Lewis If it is truly a raw blues album, I think it will be great. But..... here are a few things that could mess it up: 1. Clapton playing more than Keith and Ronnie. 2. Don overproducing it. 3. If it is a "return to blues" in name only ala Rod's last 10 "I'm getting back to mandolins and acoustics" albums. Also, Charlie's stiff drummin

Quote24FPS Bill Wyman is the 'Duck' Dunn of England. In terms of sound or session work? If it's the latter, I would say someone like Herbie Flowers is more of a 'Duck' Dunn than Bill is.

People grow older and have families and drift apart. That's life. Mick and Keith spend months on tour together. Once that is done, what are they going to do, go on vacation together? Not bloody likely!

Quotedmay Thinking about the album and what I remember of it, it makes me realize Lennon needed McCartney more as a songwriting partner than is readily acknowledged. Huh? Lennon wrote a ton of great songs without needing Paul.

I agree, Blueranger The Beatles being "cute teddy bears" is such nonsense. They came from dirty Liverpool, not exactly London. They toured Hamburg, popped pills, got into fights, before the Stones even existed. They got that out of their system and eventually broke new ground with their music. It's as if there are some Stones fans that are so insecure that they automatically fe

QuoteThe Sicilian You cannot be the greatest rock band in history with a static setlist. It is a stigma that will haunt them forever. That's because they aren't the world's greatest rock band. It's just a marketing ploy that people bought. There is no "greatest". This is music, this is art, it's not a sport.

QuoteHonkeyTonkFlash It amazes me that we are still living in an era where The Rolling Stones can still sell out stadiums and arenas, yet there are at least a couple of generations of people who are nearly clueless as to their existence. I'm 36 and there are plenty of new bands today that I have never heard of that sell out arenas.

On the other hand, there's also old-timer's ignorance. They think that there are no good bands anymore these days. Or they think that all rap is crap because all they do is rap about guns and killing each other and they have no talent.

The most Canadian I've ever felt was during a Hip show years ago. It was Canada Day, Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. The great Joel Plaskett opened the show and after his set he and Gord Downie sang O Canada together. I'll never forget that moment.
