the beatles took risks as well, sgt,peppers could have flopped,the white album too.
to be honest with you i cant listen to the sgt.peppers album all the way through, to me it sounds dated, whereas their other albums sound fresh,let it be album sounds a bit flat too.
going back to what you said pennywill, i agree wholeheartedly, id rather listen to an artist that surprises me when they release a new record, as you also said it is far easier for a solo artist to do that than a band, the stones are somewhat limited to the constraints of the band, i just thought the stones could have added different variations to their sound every once in a while, i acknoweledge that keith richards is a clever man,i just dont think he went outside the square and took risks once in a while. thats probably one of the reasons i like people like neil young,costello,weller and to a lesser extent mccartney.as an after thought dylan at times has been outside the square,not that he ventured too far out of it.
