I'll bet that somehow this gets blamed on file trading.

TLeave the label, that will make them more financially sound and the jobs more secure. Perhaps they should cut their profits if they car so much.

Fail, subby. Their last album was not crappy at all.

NO FAIL HERE

some of us thinks they havent done anything of worth since the 80's./...

which just goes to show that there is no accounting for taste, isnt it ?

/personnally the've been a boring bar band since they found Jones at the bottom of a pool

HappyHarryHardOn

Oh, come on. I agree that a lot of their best work was with Jones, but c'mon man, Exile on Main St., Sticky Fingers, even Tattoo You are of better quality than "boring bar band."

Not to mention "Undercover Of The Night". I liked it, anyway.

The term "crappy" should be reserved for boy bands, Britney, shiatty rap "music", and things of that ilk. The Rolling Stones on their worst day never even came close to approaching the staggering level of suck that is 98% of what's on the hot 100 today.

Here's my lawn. You know what to do with it.

well, if you notice, i started the phrase with PERSONALLY...

but yeah, it kind of bores me without the BRIAN weirdness added to it

I'm not a big fan but I haven't listened to it much (downloaded it back in the day, but my dad never bought it so I don't have the record, which is how I listen to a lot of older music). But I'd certainly agree that it's much better than manufactured pop.

My dad was a huge fan, far more than I have ever been and I've consequently got everything from 12X5 through Tattoo You on vinyl, some of it's scratched to hell but it's still fun to listen to.

HappyHarryHardOn

You're right, to each his own.

but id like to hear those infamous bootlegs of that exile album, with a keith so strung out he plays a bass thinking its a guitar...

Their last album was better than anything anyone their age is doing, except for Neil Young.

My appreciation of the Rolling Stones stops at Some Girls, and there's a couple albums even before that one that were pretty crappy.

Honestly, if you're arguing Stones ALBUMS, you're kinda doing it wrong. Even at their peak they were a singles band; they've been even more so during my lifetime (and I'm 26). Almost every album of theirs in the last 30 years has had 2-5 excellent songs on it, and 2-5 aongs you never want to hear again. Is that enough? for me, yeah, but YMMV.

Personally, I think "Infamy" is one of their best 20 songs.
