Title: Mostly great, but not the ultimate collection of the Stones it could have been.
Product review: As a huge Rolling Stones fan I can't help but feel slighted by "Forty Licks". This was a wonderful opportunity to put the Stones 40 greatest songs on one set and instead its just another chance to make some money and put out a few new mediocre songs. Its hard to argue the greatness of the music however, since 75% of the songs are some of the greatest rock ever made. The rest are, shall I say, slightly lacking. That the classics such as As Tears Go By, Time is on My Side, Can You Hear Me Knocking, Heart of Stone and Play with Fire are not included proves that these are not the 40 greatest Stones songs. I also could have done without their weak singles from the 80s (not including Start Me Up). So until the "Greatest Rock Band in the World" decides to really put a collection of their greatest music together, I suggest sticking with the classic albums and wait for something better.
