    Mick Taylor elevated the Stones music with his outstanding lead guitar and slide work!

    Yes, a truly underrated guitar player.
    I reckon Mick Taylor could fit into the top 10 of all time.
    Jesus, just listen to his stuff...

      kpax45 totally agree.
      When people name the best guitarists in history nobody remembers Mick Taylor, and I think he has been one of the greatest of all time.

      I wouldn't go that far. Who knows what Brian would have done if......you know his last contribution to the Stones was the song Honky Tonk Woman. And Ronnie Woods playing is totally spot on.

      @@robinluck2922 well your right nobody knows what Brian Jones was going to be like so you can't go on what ifs unless your some sort of daydreamer fantasist, practically everyone knows the Mick Taylor years 69 to 74 were the stones best years, and Ronnie Wood is nowhere near Mick Taylor, go on CZcams and look at the stones live performances on cant you hear me knocking with Ronnie wood, and then look at Mick Taylors live at Glastonbury,

    Many thanks. Taylor was the inspired choice, just as Wood was a disaster. Says much about where Jagger and Richards were in both stages of the Stones' development.

    Decent commentary but it left out what I consider Mayall's most important album with Mick Taylor, which was "Blues from Laurel Canyon." I loved what Taylor said about Mayall's song writing ability - I've always felt John Mayall could hear a stack of dishes fall and break, and would have a song before the sound faded away.
