Speaking of current form:

How many of us were fans way back when...?

Spoiler

Also, how long do we have before we can't edit a post anymore?

And actually this is total bullshit because the 70s were the Stones BEST period: Exile on Main Street is their best album, Sticky Fingers is top 5, and Some Girls is top 7. Goats Head Soup is top 10, It's Only Rock n Roll is pretty good too.

Yeah it was a joke based on the Stones greatest hit LP entitled:

I was just having fun.

We cool.

Chill dude.

I'm not unchill. Just repping.

And, yes, the Stones were pretty damn awesome in that period.

Here's a recent FZ quote about potentially being buyers:
"I still think there could be opportunities for us to trade away younger players for guys who can help us now. I wouldn't rule that out. I think the most important thing for us in this period is to maintain flexibility and our own open-mindedness over what makes the most sense as we get close to that July 31 deadline."

I don't know if he is just trying to keep everything close to his chest so other GMs don't assume he's selling and try to lowball him, but I'm not sure how much I like the idea of dipping into our thin farm system to get more big league players.

And then there was this statement, which I found humorous:
"We've seen Boch smile a few times the last week, which is nice, a sign that things are going well. Don't get me wrong, he still mostly gives me the look where it feels like he's piercing a hole through my skull."

Nope.

Released in Nov 1970, but all 60s stuff taken from concerts in 1969.

Live albums aren't allowed in these discussions!

Actually, looking at it from another angle, my favorite Stones songs are the slower ballads - Wild Horses, Angie, Memory Motel, and the like. Not only are they great songs, but they act as a counterpoint to their rockers, making them more impactful as well.

The best bands have a mix of styles and the Stones certainly qualify. Tumblin' Dice is probably my first among equals but there are so many good songs from them
