I agree. Mick Taylor is the KING. Best stuff the Stones ever did were with him

[crawdaddyjones]

No dude the Stones' greatest years were with Mick Taylor. Let It Bleed,YahYahs,Stickey Fingers,Exile,Goat-nuff said!

@crawdaddyjones ---gotta agree

I can hear a bit of Mike Bloomfield in Mick's playing. Picker's - check our MT's Hot Licks DVD. Thank's for posting this !

I disagree. He was somewhat rusty, but Mick Taylor has the technical chops to run circles around most of these new up and coming bands today. IMHO, he did the same to Keith Richards, even at the tender age of 20. (I admit this was in part to Keef's ah, medicinal intake), but from the start, Taylor had far more exposure to the blues and R&B than the others.

this guy is genius, not that technical, but still an amazing player, with something that's rare nowadays...ORIGINALITY!

[MrMudclub]

Just love this guys playin.

im the biggest stones fan in theplanet i agree that the years between 68-74 produced the best work but anyone who says the stones never di anythin decent are full of shit its just cos beggars to exile were all so fuckin genius that the other albums paled in comparison - still the albumsafter 74 are all still damn fine albums withthe exception of maybe dirtywork and black and blue

The Stones' career is a compilation of eras, and the Mick Taylor era ('69-'74) is certainly the best. He was probably the band's "most valuable (guitar) player" (not to take anything away from Keef and his timeless riffs), joining the band on the heels of a wasted Brian Jones. His solo on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is his most timeless work with the band. (I'd never thought of it until now, but I wonder if he was selected to replace Brian partly for his blond hair that resembled Brian's.)

Mick Taylor got pissed, and rightfully so, that Jagger and Richards didn't give him songwriting credit on a couple great tunes eg, Sway, etc. That's why he left and the Rolling Stones were no more. They're now simply the world's best Rolling Stones cover band. Mick and Keith sold it out by rippin Taylor off. Micks' economics school examiners would be proud, or would they?

[ispinimor]

i agree man, taylor playing with the stones was pure magic.

in fact, "in my opinion" is a wholly objective comment/opinion based on that person's perspective. I think your lack of it is more the story here.
