“It was Brians unique vision to have a young R and B band in the UK. He ws the first to try it.“ **drad dog**

“- but the Mick Taylor era is my favorite. (To my mind it’s Taylor, not Jones, who’s the most critically underrated Stone.)” **Nonesuch**

Completely agree with both these statements. I’m sorry Brian turned into such an asshole, because he created the Stones I loved in high school. (1964 - 1969)  
But Taylor was the heart of the Stones I loved in college. (1969 - 1973)
