Now we come to the last two albums of the Mick Taylor Years for a track by track battle.

Let’s get it on!

1. “Dancing With Mr. D” v “If You Can’t Rock Me”

“If You Can’t Rock Me”, one of my favorite Stones songs, I’ve got to go with that.

2. “100 Years Ago” v “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”

This is not even close, “100 Years Ago” with its kind of mellow country vibe building up to that epic jam between Taylor and Billy Preston! HOT RATS!

3. “Coming Down Again” v “It’s Only Rock And Roll (But I Like It)”

No contest, “Coming Down Again”, gorgeous song and one of my favorite Keith sung tunes.

4. “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)” v “Til The Next Goodbye”

This is fairly easy, “Heartbreaker” is such a badass song.

5. “Angie” v “Time Waits For No One”

“Time Waits For No One” is my favorite Stones overall, so that’s my pick.

We end Side One with GHS at 3 and IORR at 2.

6. “Silver Train” v “Luxury”

Easy, “Silver Train”. “Luxury” with that stiff reggae and Mick’s caricatured voice, “Luxury” is terrible.

7. “Hide Your Love” v “Dance Little Sister”

“Dance Little Sister” is my pick, man, god I love that song.

8. “Winter” v “If You Really Want To Be My Friend”

This is easy, “Winter” is another Top 10 Stones song for me, and for Mick Taylor’s solo, oh my God. And I love “If You Really Want To Be My Friend”, and that includes Blue Magic! But yeah, “Winter” wins.

9. “Can You Hear The Music” v “Short And Curlies”

“Can You Hear The Music” is pretty hokey, and “Short And Curlies”, while filler, is good filler, so that’s my pick.

10. “Star Star” v “Fingerprint File”

No contest, “Fingerprint File” is my pick.

And wow, we have a tie. If my hand was forced, I’d pick Goats as a whole, but that’s not what this game is, so we have a tie.
