People who think they are still good would say the same if they came out with walkers and wheelchairs. Their sound is no longer relevant or pleasing. Let it go. The past is gone. Let them die with dignity.

Aftermath is a killer ass album, i have the UK version but I imagine the US one is pretty rad too.

TBH I could never get into them. I like Satisfaction and a couple other early ones, and that's about it.

So no:

Gimmie Shelter
Tumbling Dice
Shine a Light
Sweet Virginia
Start Me Up

I feel like everyone likes those.

Gimme Shelter and Start Me Up are pretty good. The others are meh songs for me. I tend to prefer a more polished sound for my rock 'n' roll.

Gimme Shelter is my absolute favourite song by them. The lady that did the backing vocals actually had a miscarriage on the night that she was called in to record it. I felt quite sad when I heard that.

I think the deal with the Rolling Stones is they bring a lot of History to the table when they play. A bad night of the Rolling Stones is still better then 99.9% of what is going on these days. Even if they all sat around in chairs and played some electric blues I would still say they are better then 99.9% of what we see these days!
