Maybe there is an important distinction in how you approach the past: in an investigating or in a nostalgic way. I guess that Mick Jagger is for the former and reluctant to the latter. But then there is the perspective in the post above from lem motlow. Somewhat too harsh for me in its evaluation of Stones' later material, but still.

For there to be another view present: To me the absolute slump in their career consists of the studio albums DIRTY WORK, STEEL WHEELS and VOODOO LOUNGE. On the other hand, I consider BRIDGES TO BABYLON as both semi-great and quite adventurous, not dated. A BIGGER BANG I also hold as semi-great, but a little too "safe" at times.

QuoteDandelionPowderman IMO, the best Stones-albums are loaded with "non-hits", like Exile, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers. It does something with the flow on an album when there is a balance, and not every song is a "singalong belter". Take SF: Sway, CYHMK, You Gotta Move, I Got The Blues, Sister Morphine. All brilliant tunes, but not single material. Yet every track dese

I do not rank between studio and live versions. Among live versions, two of them stand out for me, and I don't want to rank between those either: - the LIVER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE version, - the version from Brussels, 1st show, 1973, included in my NASTY SONGS vinyl boot.
