Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 2720846, member: 1047"] No. But Im judging him against himself. Mick doesnt have a classically great voice. Never has. But it is wildly effective. From Beggars Banquet though Black and Blue (and especially on Sticky fingers and Exile) he was singing wonderfully, for him. Perfect for the band at least. Im (and have been for 45 years) a big stones freak. I saw them in 81 for the first time when I was 13. I HATED the way he sang from, say, 77-87. He really twisted his phrasing and was just shouting crap when singing live. Saw them a couple years ago again and he was hitting Exile stuff like the album in full voice and properly phrased. I was devastatingly impressed. The whole band really has filled out their sound beautifully in the later years. [/QUOTE]
