Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?

Drubin. Going off and dying doesn't ensure that the artist won't still issue an album. Seems like Hendrix came out with way more albums post-humously than he did while breathing. (A good thing.) There are indeed artists who in my opinion retain their magic into their later years. Neil Young and Jorma Kaukonen are two that come to mind. I'm not familiar with Miles Davis'
repertoire, but I catch your sarcasm. There is a certain sense of nobility in dying at your peak. Joplin, Morrison and Hendrix burned brightly albeit too briefly. Eric Clapton and Stevie Winwood have taken the adult contemporary route. Michael Jackson has become a caricature. Where's Stevie Wonder been? I'm constantly looking for new music to listen to. So far The White Stipes is what I've found. Why? Because it sounds old. Expert? Me? Hardly! Thanks Pops for the J. L. Hooker tip. I welcome any suggestions on long in the tooth rockers who still kick ass.

Jsonic, you young whippersnaper! We agree on something - Neil Young has aged like a nice cabernet! And he can kick ass - your also right about Hendrix. How many tapes and different takes of songs can they dig up - literally!

Just got my first - "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out".

The difference is considerable even without an SACD player. I've been complaining for years that the Stones catalog needed to be remastered. The prior ABKCO CDs were nearly unlistenable.

In anticipation of my new SACD player, I ordered GYYYO and a number of other (non Stones) titles. I guess I'll add a few more Stones SACDs- I just don't know where to start.

The dust has settled and both SACD and DVD-A are essentially dead. The Stones SACDs do sound excellent.

Wow! Has it been 5 1/2 years since the discs came out? Time does fly (although I thought SACD was a non-starter then).
