QuoteGasLightStreet 1. the fans fact that DIRTY WORK is their worst album ever. 2. the fact that casual fans won't like paltry Stones songs, which, therefor, DIRTY WORK is a completely pointless album to acknowledge with a hits comp other than Harlem Shuffle, the only thing a majority of casual fans have heard, and for good reason. 1. Wrong, oh so wrong. 2. I bet 8 out of 10 "casu

Quotebobo Quotemnewman505 There isn't one album in his catalog that will ever be worthy of the "Deluxe Edition" treatment. Keith's albums stand the test of times. This is your opinion,so I disagree. Wandering Spirit could easily be one. Far better than any Keith album, but that is my opinion. ...better than any Keith album, better than any Stones-album since 1986.

Quotekeefriffhard4life i meant there are tons of songs by lots of bands that weren't top 10 hits yet are signature tunes for those bands Indeed. Those songs weren´t hits, though. So if those bands release a compilation it has to be named "The Very Best of". Calling it "Greatest Hits" would be incorrect.

QuoteGasLightStreet .... Why is it so hard to accept the truth that is so very plain to see? For the very last time: TY is by no means a regular studio album because: - it consists of old and very old tracks - there were no sessions for TY with full band - the songs that were re-worked/updated/enhanced/finished/whatever were chosen by Chris Kimsey - Mick did most of the additional work to

In my opinion they have nothing but lots of sketches and they are still not sure what to do with that stuff... maybe they have too many sketches and lost focus. Sometimes working on this then working on that but it never comes to any result. Maybe they indeed spend most of the studio-time watching cricket matches... Indeed - it´s all about creating the illusion of a band working on new stuff.

QuoteGasLightStreet Nah. The idea is to have the best songs on it, hit singles and singles released that had something to say (which is why Respectable is on JUMP BACK since it was a UK single, the 2012 disaster and HONK). So... that's why One Hit will never be included - it's a dud single, it made the Top 30, not anything memorable. History shows that to be a fact. Indeed One Hit mys
