I´m talking about the world´s greatest band. The Beatles always would have been revered as creators and such, but the Richards/Taylor tension would have produced some great music, and not have delved into the Start Me Up phase (simple, puerile music).

There would have been some great, great tunes, I´m sure. A lot of ambling BS as well, but not what they´ve been doing their best (unbeknownst to them) as to tarnish their image or history.

Excepting two songs I can recall (the Saint Paul reference and another, from the album with a Babylon styled lion on it), they have put out utter bullshite shite since some ditties on Emotional Rescue.

Yeah I understand that, mick's talent took them to the stratosphere. Had he stayed off Horse like Jagger did to a degree, they would've continued to innovate instead of being confined to following Keith's riffs, which at times are intoxicating but need variance in an album-context.

Saint of Me. That was a good song as was Out of Control.

They've had moments post ER: Worried About You (even though recorded in '75), She Was Hot, One Hit (with Jimmy Page on guitar), Slipping Away, Blinded By Rainbows, and these three from A Bigger Bang - It Won't take Long, Oh No Not You Again, & Laugh I Nearly Died.
