Comment:
The new five-disc "anthology" set compiling the work of my second-favorite band of all-time. Although this first set has been finished for weeks, I've been so swamped that I've had no time to post it or to write particularly interesting notes for it. ;-) As always, I'm interested in hearing where my fellow AotM'ers fall in the "Mick vs. Keith" debate (I've been on record here as being firmly on the Keith side of the equation for as long as I can remember). As with all of my box-set-styled, multi-disc single-artist comps, these tracks are placed as closely as possible in the order in which they were recorded. This set covers tracks recorded from 1964-1968 and, coincidentally but fittingly, ends more or less at the same time that Brian Jones' tenure ends with the band (although he is technically featured on the first two tracks of the next disc, his contributions were minimal). Lastly, I understand that my series title is (allegedly) a mishearing of the line in question; I just happen to like my mind's interpretation more.Feedback:
Obviously, Keith is the heart and soul of the group. If the band had never happened or fizzled out without success, you can bet that Keith would still be playing in some local pub somewhere whereas Mick might have had a successful career as a particularly horny accountant. I know you have seen this before, but it kind of flies of face of the theory that the other Mick is who really brought them to their heights during his stay in the band.But I do believe that they have always been much more of a partnership than Lennon/McCartney who more acted as filters for the other. The Glimmer Twins are much more of a two-headed monster (or three if you count Mick's john thomas). Stray Cat Blues gives me as much a flashback as the tunes on the mix I did with Cliff lately. It ain't no capital crime can still shoot the fireworks off in my mind.
keith is, without a doubt, my favorite member of the stones, & one of my top 10 all-time favorite music figures. i agree with derek that mick & keef complemented each other whereas lennon & macca acted more as filters for each other - a pretty accurate, articulate way to summarize it, actually.
my favorites from this era - "under my thumb," "ruby tuesday," "i am waiting," "paint it black," "get off my cloud," "heart of stone," "lady jane," "she smiled sweetly," "no expectations," "stray cat blues," "sister morphine" - are all included, so i've no complaints. as always, a flawless summary of a truly amazing band, rob.

Keith, no contest.
Keith may be the band's musical soul but without Mick, whom I do not find a particularly appealing person, the Stones would not have nearly the success they've enjoyed. Neither Mick or Keith's solo work is especially compelling, in my opinion, so the band apparently works for them.
As always, a very comprehensive overview of the artists.

You have all of my faves. And you missed most of my faves. Any best of Stones mix I'd make this week would be missing so many essentials next week. That's the joy of the Stones. Great job s always.
