It's just Ian was a founding member and the band always considered him a "member" despite not officially being an "official member." I suppose this is studio. I mean there are tons of sideplayers, I suppose you could list your own lineup which you liked with the sidemen. I just always considered Ian to be more than just a sideman.

I agree he was a founding member... he didn't play on Beggars, or tour with the band from 1970 to 1973... and he wasn't the only piano player on albums during these years as well... I'm just saying... Jack Nitzsche, Nicky Hopkins, Billy Preston, and Ian McLagan all played on albums as well as tours... so it is just hard for me to put him as the only one in the line up, without considering these other players who were also playing piano and keyboards!

Changed it to just the core lineups to make it more clear. No Ian or anybody else.

I prefer the lineup "Mick/Keith/Charlie/Ronnie/Fleabit".

Without a doubt I'm a fan of the Brian & Mick T. era, it goes with my age of course, 58, & I personality think the Stones did their best work during these times, all I have to do is look at the albums that were made, I like "Some Girls" but it doesn't compare with "Let It Bleed/Exile/Sticky Fingers" & all those great albums that were made with Brian in the 60's, even though a lot of them were covers of Blues they still stand out.

Better 1963 - 1967. But I'm one of those here who saw them in the mid 60ies. Who out of you giving your vote here has seen them live and in person back then too?

The albums that they had done in the '60s until Exile are the best they had done.
I might arrived till Miss you.. but it wasnt so great as the others.
.. well after Brian's loss, I prefer the two micks and charlie, keith, Bill.. he seems to me as a peanut.. but anyway ok. And naturally the other 'members' Nicki, Stu.. ' but R. Cooder not so much, in stufio.

Amazing isn't it? That awesome lineup which has only released three albums in 22 years.

And to think that Daryl Jones is the hired help, he's not even one of The Stones, I'm really surprised by this poll, 53? I got a feeling all the people who voted were born in the 80's.

That would be followed by the Mick Taylor era. I'm an old timer...

I agree completely. I am also 58. Prefer the Brian era, but the Mick T era was also great.
