What period do you think they are the best in?? I DEFINETLY SAY 60s!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 2 of thier albums and they are insanely good........ 1966 and 1967 albums and EVERY SONG IS PURE ANALOG GOLD!!! I have heard some 70s stuff they did and to me it is not as good. Neither is thier 80s stuff......
pretty much every band is best when they first start out. maybe not right at first, but they always seem to hit their peak within the first few years anyway.
I would have to say their early to mid 60s material is my favorite. Aftermath and Between the Buttons are my favorites. Not really into the bluesy stuff they got into later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46BO-tkYLVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLFo68-L9vI
I heard they made $100 million dollars on their last tour...but they lost most of it to a salesman who takes advantage of the elderly
Late 60's - Early 70's Let It Bleed Sticky Fingers Exile on Main Street Those 3 albums consecutively are an amazing run!
'kin fucking hell just heard the new album on Radio 6! They're on top form. All covers but sounds like it's them playing in the sixties again. Last track I Can't Quit You Baby... How mad is that? http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-blue-lonesome-review/
Check this shit out. I had to check this was new music when I heard it the other night, real nice blues man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiMb7nn6lEg Still got my ugly yellow bigger bang local crew t-shirt from 2006. I saw them play Ajax. I stood backstage and watched the four of them leave the stage at the end.
