    Then vote for it, I'd second it, except I've already voted.

    I really love this period of the stones with Mick Taylor coming in after Brian Jones, I really think he added to their sound for this period. Somebody told me that Rory Gallagher was actually up for the job, couldn't see that working out though

    Also I think a lot of Stones albums suffered from sub par production\engineering which I guess maybe gave them a grittier sound but this album really sounds great in comparison.

    True - It's a masterpiece of sloppy blues and lazy coolness.

    Personally, I think it's overrated. They have far better albums than that.

    Soul Survivor is a cool song though it must be said.

    Rumor has it Rory came up with the riff to "Start Me Up" during a jam session with the stones, dunno how true that is tho.

    Couldnt imagine Rory playing with Mick Jagger, always thought Rory would have suited Deep Purple perfectly
