Three by Joe in my list, Spitfire. Jumpin' Jive was earlier on as well as these two. A very talented musician and songwriter who doesn't get the credit he deserves I think

Mick Taylor was with the Stones for about five years I think mate. I didn't realise he was on this one though as Brian Jones died in 1969, so Taylor must have been a very quick replacement for some of the later recorded tracks perhaps?
Taylor was certainly on Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street and was with the band until 74-75 when Ronnie Wood joined.
I always love it when Keith Richards affectionately refers to Wood as "the new boy". He's only been in the band 43 years lol!

Aye, strange why the Lions adopted that song. Can't understand the reasoning behind it tbh.

I always accept a dare mate.
Sure I saw Brian Wilson in the front row there (for the five seconds I was able to watch it like)

This is the last one I have ready so we might as well post it now. I'll have to start from scratch again tomorrow, so we may not recommence with any posts until the day after. See how things go Here's Mr. Zimmerman...

No.60: “Highway 61 Revisited” by Bob Dylan (1965)
The highest-placed Bob Dylan album in my list, Highway 61 is a fabulous album. Dylan’s songwriting is at its very best, the album never dates and there are so many wonderful pieces of music on the record.; every one a classic track. Just look at the track list for starters:
It begins with an absolute bang: just about the greatest song of the 1960’s "Like a Rolling Stone", followed by a run of songs that would give any artist the bejeebies: "Tombstone Blues", "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry", "From a Buick 6", "Ballad of a Thin Man", "Queen Jane Approximately", "Highway 61 Revisited", "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" and the amazing 11-minute "Desolation Row". Nothing more to say to be honest. Go to your collection now and dig this record out once more. If for any strange, unfathomable reason you don’t own it – it’s available in my next post in full audio format.
Some interesting clips below for your perusal. There are a shortage of authentic videos from 1965 but I have found some alternatives from later the years. However, the famous San Francisco interview is present, plus a montage of the best concert performances in an hour-long selection from 1965.

Well Floydy you know I like Dylan.
Strange that I saw a guy today wearing a concert teeshirt. Omg Floydy you look burnt.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Nice to see Rattlesnakes, a much underrated album, my .top Stones album is Beggars Banquet, but Let it Bleed is a close second.

Both Joy Divisions first two effforts have a home in my collection, and Love Will Tear U s Apart is a monster track,i love this version.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Fantastic Dylan album right in the middle of his trifecta of classic albums in 1965/66. A good test for any headphones as the production is excellent. Desolation Row is my favourite track, but there are so many good ones.
