Opinions of Brian Jones (deceased founder of The Rolling Stones)?

“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)
