by the way the picture of The Rolling Stones you posted has Mick Taylor in it, he left The Rolling Stones a few albums before Some Girls.

Yeah, but it was hard as hell to find a good picture of the group that I liked. I liked that one.

And yes I know that the Stones inspired the punks. But then again, a lot of punks considered the Stones to be relics, that's what I was saying. And there was some validity to that claim before Some Girls.

Here's one with Ron Wood sporting a mullet, and you know what a mullet means, punk in the front, hippie in the back.

But just because punks didn't like the music of the generation before them, that isn't convincing enough to "imagine Keith Richards telling those upstart punk bands to piss off, this is how you do things." I know what you are saying about the punks I even read where the punks dislike bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd. But as far as Keith's sentiments, I have to hear it from him.

A bit of creative freedom on my part. Notice how I said 'I can imagine'

Sweet, sweet music...and the last Stones classic. The diversity of this album displays the band in top form, ranging from the misogynistic “Some Girls”, the tender and vulnerable “Beast of Burden”, the country spoof “Far Away Eyes”, as well as the Stones reacting to the latest trends, disco and punk. How many bands would try that mix, let alone pull it off with such ease. I'm tempted to agree with your perfect score but the rockers are a notch below their late 60's/early 70's output so...9/10

Agree with almauro. Not much caught my attention after Some Girls.

Great write up as usual DM.

I would just like to boast that I have an original copy with the controversial cover.

You wouldn't be far wrong actually.
In one of my Stones books (I forget which one) Richards says he didn't like punk itself but he was impressed with the attitude & simplicity of it and incorporated a lot of that into this album when it was made.
