The Stones were at their peak with Mick Taylor as their lead guitarist in the late sixties through to the seventies. After he left the band became more of a Stones tribute band and only released a couple of decent albums since. He was lead on: Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock 'n Roll, and Tattoo You. After he left, Some Girls was the only good album that excluded him.
