    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    I'm not trying to bash Wood's playing skills here; he's a great guitarist, and is certainly no slouch when it comes to hitting the right notes. It's just that with each new album, it's getting harder and harder to discern who's playing what riff: Keith or Ron? Never had this problem with Mick...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    I stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd bring it back and see if we can get some discussions going; the Stones are far too important to have a mere two pages devoted to them! I believe Mick didn't go because of scheduling problems, and he realized that he'd be spending A LOT of time in the...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    No, Bowie never wrote "Angie," nor did Jagger/Richards write "Rebel Rebel." The rumor is that the ex-Mrs. Bowie was the inspiration for "Angie," which was written by Mick. However, there is another very popular rumor that Angie caught none other than Mick Jagger and David Bowie in...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I have indeed heard the four albums you mentioned Sebastian and was quite impressed, especially with Animals.

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    I dunno, Colin, it seems you like the Stones' post-70's work more than I do. To perfectly honest, IMHO you could probably collect all the decent 1980 - 1989 Stones tracks on one CD. Maybe it was the band members' drug habits (Keith, Ron and apparently Charlie for a brief time), Mick's...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    Colin, D'oh! I was doing some of the albums from memory...I have made the correct changes. Besides, getting one song out of 20-plus albums wasn't too bad, eh? :) (And out of curiosity, was one of your disagreements Their Satanic Majesties Request? That album always sharply divides fans; if...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    Nice to see you're enjoying the Stones' greatest era, Sebastian. If you want your fill of classic early-60's Stones, I have to once again strongly reccomend these four albums: The Rolling Stones Now! (1964) Out of Our Heads (1965) December's Children (1965) Aftermath (1966) Really, this is...

    The Rolling Stones - where do I start?

    Now this is right up my alley :) Seb, let me first congratulate you on your exquisite taste. Exile is the last album in what many consider the Stones' "classic period"...where they could do no wrong. This covers the years 1968 - 1972. The albums are: Beggars Banquet (1968) Let It...
