[net.records] Stone's 'Undercover'

Regarding the quasi flame about how 'great' the
Stones are:

<<flame on>>

Why do the Stones seem to be on the back edge of of
today's music. 'Undercover' is nothing more than music
to make millions for them. They should call it quits because,
quite frankly, their music is getting rather boring these
days. As far as that popoff about Billy Idol et. al, goes,
THOSE are the bands that are making waves AHEAD of the Stones.
So go ahead and keep buying those Stone's albums, because
it leaves better records for me!

<<flame off>>

I read an article in Billboard the other day stating that the Stones'
album Undercover is the worst selling album per the duration the album
has been out in the past few Stones album releases.  It's not surprising
considering that the Stones, who were *the* rock band for the past few
years, are being challenged this year by Def Leppard, Yes and others.

... never be your beast of burden ...
