ET is a children's movie though. It is not supposed to be edgy or different. But I digress. I think it would be great for them to do it. Something fun and silly that brings people together for a good cause. Not that I think the rest of them will. Keith and Charlie don't speak computer. I couldn't see Charlie wanting to put himself out there like that-he'd probably just

yeah i feel like at times he just doesn't really try for some reason (maybe because of the frequency of their albums) but he's obviously very smart and if he really wanted to every song he's ever released could probably be genius...

I think (or at least I hope) that most would agree that all have had lyrical moments of genius, but when it comes to who one likes more it's more about one's musical taste.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Is Mick really underrated as a lyricist, and by who? Maybe it's just that he's not known mainly as a lyricist as say Dylan or Lennon, even though he's every bit as good I think. His stage persona because it is, if not the best, among the best, is the talent of his that gets the most attention. That's just my take though, maybe the people that wrote

Quotestonehearted <<I think AM was really the Arctic Monkey's Sgt.

To address the question put forth by the OP, it's all relative and depends on who you ask. There was a whole generation, f

I saw four young guys standing there and it took me a minute to realize they were supposed to be the Stones--none of the actors looked like any of them.

Quotevertigojoe There are no new bands anymore. Modern culture is too fragmented for any band to ever have the cultural impact that the Beatles or Stones had. Post WW2 end of empire. End of deference. Stones lit the touch paper. These circumstances will not be repeated for a long long time and if they do it will be in a very different way. And hasn't it all been done now? Exactly. I

Quotemtaylor He does what he is capable to do. Don't expect him to jump around being 70 I would qualify what he does as jumping around. I mean, maybe not the same way he did at 20 or 30 but he does run and skip across the stage/hop a lot which is more than I can say for anyone in their 70s that I know. It's pretty amazing how fit he is.

to be brief: no to not be brief: Back when the Stones got big, music was so much harder to come by and thus bands had to be pretty huge to be heard all over the world, thus the iconic generation defining acts.
