Real Stinkers

Have never subscribed to the "if you can't say anything nice..." cliche, but a record is not a real stinker just because someone can't decipher it. Lark's Tongues In Aspic, Starless And Bible Black and Red are hugely influential recordings that marked a fertile period for all the participating players.
A real stinker might be Bluejeans and Moonbeams or Unconditionally Guaranteed by Captain Beefheart who spit these records out quickly to get out of a recording contract.
I'm a little surprised that Van Vliet, (Beefheart) who just passed on (and was a real genius if ever there was one) got no R.I.P. thread on this music forum while other comparatively tiny artists who recently died got a send off.

so a lot of people worship the stones.And keith richards is not one of the great guitarists.How do you know what Jagger wrote? ELVIS WAS GIVEN CREDIT OF WRITING MOST OF HIS SONGS WHEN IN FACT THIS WAS IN ERROR.no not bashing Elvis.If you like the stones fine,but i do not, nor do i have to by any one standard.

"On the Corner", by Miles Davis.

I for one, do not "worship" the Stones. I simply recognize their rightful place in the rock pantheon.
Regarding the legitimacy of their credits: All we have to go on, is what has been given by their publishing companies. And, what has been widely reported by the many sources who were present at the time of a their recordings. Besides, all their earlier cover versions were correctly credited to the original writers. If their credits were up for contention, we would have heard about it, a long time ago.
No one is dictating, you have to like the Stones. But, to suggest that their entire catalogue stinks, is frankly, ridiculous.

I really have to disagree about "On the Corner," that album has some of the best improv funk ever recorded.
