ohmigod ... ABB is INCREDIBLE ... almost every track pulsates with that unbelievable energy and magic which only one band in the world can deliver ... the stones are back with a vengeance, baby!!!!!! if i had to choose ONE track that is my favorite out of all of them, right now it would be 'laugh, i nearly died' ... it is just PHENOMENAL ... i think i died and went to heaven!!!

hey rev, no worries about your appreciation of the mets; the stones trump all else. definitely let me know if you decide to catch one of the philly shows... that philip norman book is probably the most intelligent and interesting book i've ever read about the stones. where can i find the keith version of 'juiced'? drew

hey rev, you're absolutely right about that version of 'harlem shuffle', it blows away the dirty work version. there's some really incredible stuff on that flashpoint collectibles disc... definitely an overlooked gem!! and i couldn't have said it better re all those other blue-eyed soul singers... somehow none of them can capture the joy, the freedom, the pain, the a

looks like, so far, hold back is winning (if that's the right word). sweethearts together, rock & a hard place, and emotional rescue seem to be frequent vote-getters as well. but the polls are still open, so maybe a darkhorse 'winner' will emerge... drew

Forum: Tell Me

this is an interesting thread, because it shows how varied opinions are, even among die-hard stones fans. there is no right or wrong when it comes to rating stones albums ... just individual opinions. still, i've noticed that a lot of people on this board are hoping 'a bigger bang' will be the next 'exile on main street'. at the same time, a lot of people seem to re

T&A, i couldn't agree more. 'blue' is such a great track. ironically, the lyrics seem to be a rejection of the blues ... jagger saying that blue is not his color, etc.. but it blows away everything on GITD, except IMO for 'joy.' why 'blue' was not included is a mystery... drew

i agree that the stones music w/ mick taylor was very special. shine a light is a great track. however, IMHO, i think the tracks that best show off taylor's virtuosity are NOT on exile, e.g.: can't you hear me knocking winter time waits for no one through the lonely nights absolutely amazing guitar work. one gripe i have about exile is that taylor's guitar is, for the mo
