I'm gonna have to say the Brian Jones era. Rock & Roll Circus is my single most favorite thing that the Stones have ever done, and it's this era I love the way they looked the most. I love the pics of them at this young age, and the expressive sound, and their attitude. MICK was so hot with his long dark hair & full pouty lips. KEEF looked awesome too, and Brian looked totally sweet, Charlie and Bill too. I love that era, it's classic, the beginning of it all, the base from where the greatest Rock & Roll band in the world was launched, the original band members.

Well, I'm a Brian fan, and a huge fan of EVERYTHING '64, '65, '66....so, I love the Brian era. Everything seemed new and exciting.

I do love Exile and Sticky so I love the Mick T. years as well.

Exactly how I feel.

For me the same! Specially the early 60's. Love The BBC sessions and the Chess Sessions.

Yes, Albert, I agree! Grin

You're correct, but in North America, including Canada, we never heard of the Stones till then, in '64, it was the Beatles that brought over all those other British bands.

That makes no sense. So you are saying that the Stones only mattered once they hit North America? I think Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground were cool., but they barely registered - anywhere. You have to look at things in hindsight. You may have not heard of them before we in the UK did, but they were there. Their discography begins in 1963.

Since I didn't know they existed until '78, the obvious thing would be from then to now.

Musically speaking from '63 to '73. There is so much to learn from. Blues, reggae, the '60's pop sound, etc. etc. That time period is an amazing music education. As a kid going back to that era I learned rhythms I didn't know, about instruments I'd never heard of, creation of sound, other musicians that played with the band or the band was covering.....the list goes on.
