Saint Sway Ronnie, Keith and Charlie's guest spots on "A Bigger Bang" solidify it as one of Mick's best solo albums.

It even almost sounds like a Stones album on a few tracks.

Soldatti Every Stones album since GHS is basically a Mick album, except maybe Dirty Work.

sad but true -
i LOVE jagger's sole imprint on GHS, IORR, B&B, SG, TY...
so the age-old argument about it being a keith OR mick record means nothing to me -
but he lost his passion somewhere along the line.

Soldatti, this is an outrage that not even Mel Belli can tolerate. I demand an immediate retraction...

I mean, the main creative force for all the albums since GHS was Mick. Keith is there of course and he wrote great songs since Exile, but if you hear the big part of the material it's pretty clear that Mick was the main influence and the guy with the big ideas. Dirty Work was an exception.

speedfreakjive Seems like people are coming round to my trium prognosis that the best songs on ABB are SSMC, DB & DTF.

Vanity aside, on further reflection I'm with Jumac. The production is poor on some or most of the record. Keith doesn't seem to have been arsed.

I don't agree with Soldatti though, whats the reasoning? GHS has lots of Keith (guitar riffs on MrD, Starfucker, Doo x 5, Coming Down Again.) and pretty much all the records I've heard from the 80's. Maybe B2B is more Mick, but I don't think VL is, IMO.

Sir Stonesalot I thought that I rediscovered ABB this morning.

But then I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and discovered that it was just a turd that didn't flush all the way down.

Ihavelotsajam Let Me Down Slow is the best song, but people seem to have some sort of near-sighted, "MICK FILLER" flash go off every time they hear about that song. Too bad.

ABB's got a few songs that are crap-- the 2 extra ones should have taken the place of some of the more ridiculous tunes, and Neo Con sucks. Apart from that, it's way better than both Voodoo and Babylon, both of which are bloated, for lack of a better word.
