Bridges To Babylon wasn't bad. (Or was that before Stripped? It features a Keith Richards reggae tune! Some of the others, though. "Filler" is being polite. Why can't they put out an album--without filler--every ten years or so?

To be fair, some of their 70s stuff wasn't completely free of filler: It's Only Rock n' Roll, Goat's Head, Black n' Blue, Emotional Rescue, even Tattoo You had more than one lame tune. The problem is that they've set an impossible benchmark with Sticky Fingers, Exile, and Some Girls.

And sympathy for the devil. When songs made 25 plus years ago sound better than what passes for rock today, I'd say that isn't much of a problem. What is most amazing to me, is the band is still together. Most bands would have killed each other by now.

Stripped was in 1995 and Babylon was in 1997.

Their best work even precedes Sticky in my view. I still listen to High Tide and Green Grass more than anything else.... Beggars and LIB......Get Yer Ya Yas.....and so forth. Some Girls was their last standout....and around the last time I saw them....Fox in Atlanta.
