The stones deserve a thread for this.

I have always somewhat struggled with The Rolling Stones. Their prime albums are always rated highly but I struggle to enjoy more than a track or two. I find the writing clunky and Jagger has an awful singing voice. It's a voice that can never really age as it never really had a place to begin with. Beggars Banquet is a case in point. I love the opening track, but then it is lost for me. Exile on Main Street is better, but still so much stolid filler. Same with Sticky Fingers. There is no real magic there for me. Over the years they have built up an impressive hits list, but that is it for me. I don't feel their music.

I actually quite like it when an artist grows older and is still producing great work. That work often has greater poignancy and has become the voice of experience and life stories. This is where I find myself listening to McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard much more than early Beatles stuff. Or even Bowie's Blackstar more than The Man who Sold the World. It sounds richer, the voice is older, but the writing melodic and strong. It is an excellent piece of work.

I actually wish McCartney would drop some of the hits from his shows as everybody has heard them before many times. The new stuff has been great for years now, though the new album really was hit and miss for me. Some filler in there which still makes it better than prime Rolling Stones.

Dylan is another one, his music gets better with age. Harrison was writing some of his best stuff later in life

Totally. His run from Time Out of Mind on was excellent. That maturity brings with it the croak of age, but it is a voice that has lived and the songwriting as sharp as a pin. I never tire of Working Man's Blues, but I do get a bit bored with even some of the 'great' stuff sometimes. I enjoy some of the mature stuff more.

Mick and Dylan have terrible voices but they know how to sing

[p4pking]

No they dont.

[Beanz]

Fair play to Mick keeping up the image even if he and the groupies are getting on a bit now.

The @walrus deserves to get stoned for this. Repeatedly, every day, for fucking hours....like maliciously beaten within an inch of his life.
