@rafaultimate69 Mick Taylor gave birth to a new Stones era. He had as much influence on the band in his time as Mick and Keith, much more than Ronnie and Brian combined. And he doesn't get credit for it. Mick Taylor made The Stones the greatest rock and roll band in the world. What they did in his time far surpases anything they did before or after. We would not know The Stones we do today if not for MT. There would be no Ronnie.

@EvilAnticsLive cont.We're all Stones fans obviously and can have different opinions. For me, the albums they put out, the way they played live, no one could compair to MT and Keith. I think the MT era was the best and my favorite albums. There would be no Sticky Fingers, Exile, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock And Roll. Live they were the best. To me hands down MT had the biggest influence on the band in his time.

@TheRabidPosum ...Jones is the one that created the band.

@EvilAnticsLive Cont. I think The Stones would have taken a totally different path had they continued with Brian, or someone else had taken his place. Like it or not he was barly present for studio sessions on Satanic Majesties, Beggars Banquet, and Let It Bleed, although played important parts on them. They couldn't go on the road with him, that's why they let him go.

@EvilAnticsLive To say Jones is soly responsible for the formation of the stones is crazy. Not getting into that Jones was the leader for the first couple years and albums when they were doing blues covers, until Mick and Keith started writing their own material. He continued to have influence in the mid to late 60's but not as much. I'm not saying Brian wasn't important.

@psychkoala They actually tried it once in 1981 when Mick joined the band at their St. Louis gig. It apparently didn't work out so well according to Ronnie. Mick "bulldozed" through songs, took uninvited solos, etc. Don't bother looking for the bootleg, Mick wasn't plugged into the soundboard so he can't be heard. It might work with some rehearsals, but I think it would be a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.

[EvilAnticsLive]

@jbrown1169 exactly. Brian is the man.

[EvilAnticsLive]

@TheRabidPosum Nope. Jones>Taylor. No Jones, no Stones. Acknowledge that fact. Plus, they were more diverse when it came to genres. All Taylor played was blues and rock. Jones made the Stones the greatest rock in roll band in the world by leading them to that point, I reckon if anyone would have been in Taylor's spot they'd still be "the greatest."

[jbrown1169]

@TheRabidPosum I like Mick Taylor as much as the next guy, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main St. are my two favorite albums, but to say Mick had more influence than Brian is just ridiculous. Mick was a better guitar player sure, but as far as influence goes, Brian MADE the Stones. Jones pretty much put the band together, was the architect of it, came up with the name, and was as important to their early success as Jagger and Richards put together.

He is a great guy.

He should rejoin the Stones- they can have three guitar players !

It would actually work because they're the type of musicians who know how to weave guitar lines in and out.

The Stones were a top act, competitor to the Beatles, long before MT (and Ronnie) came along. They already proved themselves way before 1969- although there's no doubt MT was great guitarist.
