So true. Those polls just piss 'people in the know' off. I wonder where Johnny Winter, Harvey Mandel etc. wound up (even if they were on the list).

Keith 4th is a joke. Mick Taylor has a wonderful lyrical ability with the guitar. Keith just keeps on chugging those riffs he stole from Chuck Berry. While all guitarists pick up the Berry stuff Keith never went any farther with it.

Brian sad to say is almost always left off. So sad. He was so special not just as a guitarist but as an overall musician. Keith may have had his way in making fun of Brian but almost all of the Stones greatest stuff would never have happened without Brian's touch. Truly magical.

You can see after he left how the music stopped progressing. They had Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers (which a big hunk was done with the two Micks and without Keith) and by Exile they were falling into a pattern that wouldn't change much even though they would try (the reggae influence never worked for me) for years.

By then they got by on their reputation.

You have to admit they had great management and press relations to spin them they way they did.

Rumors had it that by the end of Sticky Fingers they had run out of their past ideas; the 'Brian tapes' (all writers / bands have song bits / riffs / ideas packed away) and to me it started to show.

Always loved Brian. Always will.
