ROLLING STONES "exile on main street" cd, 1972:
the band's twelfth studio set of thirty...
originally a double set on vinyl, but all fits on one disk here...
#1 just about everywhere...
big hit was " tumblin' dice"....
so, onto the album...
lots of blues riffs...
the usual stock standard sound they've used for 50+ years....
I shouldn't criticise them for that because I don't criticise AC/DC for the same sound
on every album, but I do for some reason...
two covers, paying homage/respects to Slim Harper (track 3) and Robert Johnson (track 16)...
these guys simply don't "do it" for me as musicians or songwriters for me...
I think theyre probably in the top five most overrated bands in the history of rock...
I do own around ten of their albums but there always seems to be a lot of filler on their albums...
great singles band, lousy albums band IMO...
