: Listened to Beggars Banquet this weekend for the first time in awhile.
: I know - shame on me. I was just amazed by Mick's singing throughout the album.
: His voice changes so dramatically from song to song. Listen to Sympathy, Prodigal Son, Stray Cat Blues.
: An amazing performance!!!!!
: Brian shines on No Expectation.
: Amazing, just amazing!!
Beggars Banquet is an absolutely an awesome record. I think it's their best. Mick and Keith are at a musical peak, and Brian, though fading, still shimmers a fair amount. And you've got great production for the first time, with Jimmy Miller. Everything comes together on that album. And it still sounds brilliant 30 years later.
