They had their moments before they squeezed Jones out, but they should have stfu in 1968  The exact moment their golden age started... Stale, boring fake blues that makes Status Quo look interesting by comparison |

Those albums are as much rock & roll, soul, and country as blues Chas & Dave are more blues than the stones The Stones do not claim to be a blues band Blues is just one of many influences that inspired them - in the very early days they tried to play their version of blues but soon developed their own sound |

Chas & Dave are more blues than the stones in the very early days they tried to play their version of blues ...and failed miserably, to my ear. The Pretty Things were way more authentic  |

Over the last 10 years, i've really come to appreciate that era of the Stones you listed Nigey.
This is just STUNNING... the last song Brian Jones had a major part in creating...

Nah. That doesn't work Zeo.
What does authenticity mean in terms of music?
Why does it matter to you?

Or many others
Authenticity is meaningless when it comes to music
Every artist adopts ideas, riffs, attitudes etc from what came previously
It’s what they do with it that counts - and that is only ever in the subjective opinion of the listener
I’d say the Stones transcended their influences and, at their peak, were extraordinary
Other opinions are available
