I know this band doesn't get much love around here. Here's the place to discuss why and/or to add appreciation.
I've spent my evening listening to the band's early albums and singles. They were one hell of an R&B outfit! Even today, they play the blues as easily and naturally as anyone (well, at least among white folks from Britain...).
Plus, one can't help but admire the solid body of work that is Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.
