  1. The UK version of the "Fate Of Nations" album. There, I kept it simple.
  2. This might be the wrong thread for this...and please accept my apologies if so. But this is my tribute to their 50th anniversary.
  3. Hard to tell just how good Mick was...but I guarantee you it was a HUGE step up!
  4. I agree....I have a show from 1990 where Jimmy joins in for most of it. Tyler trying to sing Immigrant Song was painful. I would have preferred Chris Cornell myself. He can hit the notes.
  5. Yep...that be the one! As all Creedence albums should be played, I crank it to 11.
  6. Another favorite band of mine. The older stuff ( "Deguello" and back) I prefer over the later releases. Their first album and Rio Grande Mud are priceless.
  7. Nice choice! Just bought the remastered/expanded version of this recently, along with Bayou Country and Pendulum. Great sound, and the extra tracks are fun too.
  8. My ultimate "greatest hits" package would be the best of the aforementioned 4 albums, plus a couple of select tracks from GHS and IORR.
  9. Ah crap...how'd I forget that!! Good catch!
  10. These are the 4 Stones albums that truly set the bar extremely high for the band. Honestly, sometimes it all depends on my mood. But these 4 are head and shoulders above anything else they ever did. I love all 4 of them!
  11. That's a very subjective opinion there. Both are friggin' masterpieces, it boils down to preference. Personally I like Sticky Fingers above them all.
  12. LA Forum 9-4-70. The medleys in WLL and Communication Breakdown are mind blowing. Especially the former IMO. The "Lemon Song" snippet is hilarious "just take your teeth out before you get into bed"...Oh God.
  13. Love this band....in 1969 and 1970 it was almost impossible to turn on the radio and NOT hear one of their classics. Have a couple of the original albums.
  14. I'd post a recent pic but I don't want to scare the shit out of anyone.
  15. With all due respect, I can't help but feel you never watched "Ladies & Gentlemen" from the 1972 tour, or heard "Brussels Affair" from the 1973 tour....IMO those prove otherwise. Of course that was in their prime, and Mick Taylor was in the band.
  16. One of my favorite Plant songs ever. Beautiful. Good choice!!!
  17. I saw them in 1972, 1975 and 2002. The first two shows I paid something like $8 for a ticket and got a superb show. As being only a teen the low price was really a bonus. Paid $90 for a nosebleed ticket in 2002 and got half the show in half the quality. What makes people do what they do these days for just a shell of a band is mind blowing. The Stones really haven't "brought it" live since 1978 IMO. I guess a lot of it could be attributed to their older fans who just can't let go, and younger fans who just want to see a legend firsthand. Me? I'd rather listen to my live 60's and 70's boots.
  18. Oddly enough, one of my own tunes is stuck in my head. Only because I've been reviewing it a few times and was looking for any possible improvement needed. But it is sorta catchy I guess.
  19. Whoa....a fantastic song by an underappreciated band. Dig it! On a side note, the keyboard player is a buddy of mine. What a character...lol
  20. Ah yes...the "Super Deluxe" sets. I had forgotten about those. Highly unnecessary for all but the extreme completist. Overkill, definitely. The expanded CD versions were just fine by me. The only thing I'm a completist about is Zep live shows and Stones live shows in their prime (1969-78). Other than that, not so much.
  21. I don't hear it either, other than the fact the songs are both in the key of D.
  22. Not a bad song. With that said, I certainly will NOT waste my coin on another greatest hits package. The expanded Exile and Some Girls on the other hand, were more than well worth it. You get basically a complete unreleased album as a bonus on each. Highly recommended for those who haven't got them yet.
