I had always thought that The Rolling Stones were sort of overrated, and I wanted to hear for my self. My god, I was wrong. I was so, so, so, so f*cking wrong.

It's just what I have always said.

People are far too interested in trying to compare the Stones to whatever else was around at the time rather than appreciate their work for what it was.

This album isn't groundbreaking or innovative. It's roots , it's ballsy , it rocks and it has a swagger to it and on their day nobody comes within light years of doing this as well as the Stones. THAT'S why it's a great album.
