At that age, it's extraordinary. Slightly over-produced imho. Strangest of all, they got some hook up at Lords on Sunday for the India ODI. RS tongues everywhere and batsmen walking out to tracks from the album. I know Mick loves his cricket, but it was surreal...god knows what old Binky in the pavillion thought of it. |  |

I was 13 Years old when I first heard ''Come On'' then ''Not Fade Away'' and then the everlasting brilliant "It's All Over Now" I was In approved school In 1964 and one of the lads had a forbidden Transistor radio and you could sometimes get Radio Luxembourg on It In the evenings and that's when I first heard ''It's All Over Now'' honestly It was brilliant. The BBC radio programmes were shyte but there was a much needed shift In the music world, I was sick of hearing Alma Cogan on the radio warbling away like a metronome. I've only managed to see them live twice and I was immersed into them on both occasions. Without doubt the Stones and the Beatles were both pioneers and true legends, I'll get Foreign Tongues.................. |  |

This, however, is a fine album and probably the best since Tattoo You. Hackney sounded like a Jagger solo album but this sounds like a Stones album and even Steve Jordan's performance blends in well. |  | |  |

Most great bands make a couple of amazing albums . The stones have made at least six . Sticky fingers and exile on Main Street will never be bettered though . |  | |  |

Not quite sure why, but Beggars Banquet has always been my favourite. |  | |  |

One of the many things I love about both the Beatles and the Stones is that they were both generous in acknowledging the main sources of their music and gave credit where credit was due. Without realising it they were many people’s introduction to black music in all its forms. Bobby Womack co-wrote It’s All Over Now, for example. Discovering his work has been one of the great joys of my life. Keith Richards’ autobiography Life, apart from being very entertaining, is brilliant if you want to figure out where their music came from. Not sure I’d ever have discovered Jimmy Reed, Big Bill Broonzy, Leadbelly, Hank Williams etc on my own. I was even struck by a Ringo Starr interview at the height of Beatlemania where he talked about the jazz multi-instrumentalist and composer Yusef Lateef! |  | |  |

It’s like asking who’s your favourite child. . Very hard. |  | |  |
