@JVMonte2 I think it depends on what your favorite genre(s)is. I love rock and roll and Texas country so it's Exile On Main St and A Man Must Carry On Volume 2.
@JVMonte2 Gimme Shelter, the version from a bootleg called Bedspring Symphony (amount other names). A Brussels Affair I believe was another name for the same live show.
@JVMonte2 It was the beginning of the end. They realized too late how important Bill was. You can replace the baseman, can't replace his contribution to the sound.
@Mikehomeseller Probably their best album after Mick Taylor left, but doesn't compare to anything from the MT era. Everyone loves Ronnie, but he can't play the way Mick did on Sticky Fingers, Exile, It's Only Rock and Roll, Goats Head Soup and Get Yer Ya Ya's Oot.
@JVMonte2 It's a great album. Leather Jacket is a great tune and a much better version than the ones that were showing up on Stones bootlegs in the late seventies. SW5 also a great song. Broken Hands would have fit well on It's Only Rock and Roll or Sticky Fingers.
@crockpics Mick Taylor. He could play anything Ronnie can play, but Ronnie couldn't have played the way MT did on Exile, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock and Roll and Sticky Fingers. I like RW, but Mick Taylor made the Stones golden era gold.
@mcclusk I grew up in the Sshwa Margaret, followed the Generals closely in the 70's and 80's. The Civic Auditorium used to rock on Sunday afternoons if Peterborough, Sudbury or North Bay was in town.
@mcclusk Your points are mostly valid. It's true, there is lots of reasons to trade him, and lack of talent is not one of them. It's his lack of will when the going gets tough and his committment to the name on the back of the jersey instead of the crest on the front.
@JVMonte2 Gordon Lightfoot from the album Sundown, song is The Watchman's Gone:
"Whatever I was,
You know it was all because,
I been on the town,
Washing the bullshit down."
I do that about twice a week.
