i agree, they are a nostalgia band in my view also....
I do own probably eight or nine albums, theres a lot of filler on the albums, but when they were good they were very good...
but yes, they found a brilliant simplistic riff with the opening of "satisfaction" and they basically rehashed that riff time and time again over the years...
speaking of bands/artists who rehashed a riff over and over again we find AC/DC at the top of the pile,
with them, I thought their sound remained the same until Bon died and "back in black" came out, then they rehashed the "you shook me all night long" riff
for the next 30+ years.
I did see Mick Jagger solo back in the 1980s, I wasn't overly impressed with his live vocals when he did the Stones songs at his gig,
my dad saw them back in 1964 in London, they were on the same bill as the then just newly signed Kinks and The Who....
he has always maintained that Jagger and Co were the worst band that night on stage...
