Netflix has a new documentary called Crossfire Hurricane. Takes you through their entire history with a large number of photos and clips that I had never seen before.
Most excellent.

Novelty act who spent a whole career wishing they could be half as good as The Faces.Quote:

I don’t think one can really dislike the Stones. They’re alright. Not great, not terrible, just... alright.Quote:

Exit on Main Street and Let it Bleed are the only two I own/possess. Actually think I have some kind of Greatest Hits covering a certain early period.Quote:

Wd Stones.
Beggar’s Banquet is my favourite. Exile on Main Street - like all double albums - would have been a great single album.Quote:
