The usual grand Stones. They never disappoint live, and here, almost unplugged, they enrich some gems from the past. Are they or are they not the greatest band of all time?

    Definitely not, when the Zepp were around for 10 years they suffered and that was it, barely scraping by. There's no contest technically, live, as a cohesive group we don’t even need to discuss it... but then come the Sabbath, the Who, the Purple: taste varies, but the objective data is there; in those 12 years it was an uneven competition and I repeat, they were the first to know it (ah, I adore the Stones).

    Absolutely right, but they have been at the top for 55 years, honor to their career and longevity, almost never deteriorated for any other reason. This is why they are number 1.

    Of course, what a great honor it would be. Probably we’ll see these rankings (which I find useless and annoying, but we’re doing it for the sake of conversation in our case, obviously). What you say is true, just like what I say, even if there’s something unique about the Zepp that's hard to explain. I’ll try sharing a piece I wrote if I can find it, ahahaha. Hello, Noble! One of the first things I can’t stand is how they treated Ian Stewart (and without him, they would never have come to be!) but as you know, I care too much about these things...

    Here I was trying to “explain it”, after which it's just a matter of petty quibbling, ahahah, au revoir mon ami.

    I agree with almost everything you've written, and it's always a pleasure to read you (or reread you). In any case, it doesn't matter whether it's first, second, or third; I often thank my gods for introducing me to these groups.

Morrisey takes aim at everyone in his lyrics, I take aim at him for what I believe is the least impactful album of the band.
