Not knocking yer choice. I've just never been a "Stones" fan.:sorry: Maybe 2-3 songs outta their whole catalog.

I have grown to like the Stones over the years. The Beatles had 2-3 songs I liked and that was it. Appreciate the talent, but I was one of those people who said, "They are really a thing? Hum." Don't hate me.

The first few Stones albums are good. But since somewhere around the mid 70s, I found that the number of good songs declined. Most of the post 60s albums have one or two great songs and a bunch of filler.

The Beatles I generally liked, but I think I appreciate far more now. Especially the later albums; not full of songs for Top of the Pops, but good and interesting (sometimes strange) songs.

Great album! Nick Cave gets a lot of air time in my house.

I'm with Plaid on the Stones and Beatles. A couple of fun songs each but the rest just really isn't me.
Honkey Tonk Woman and Angie are about it for me and Mick; and As my Guitar Gently Weeps and Yesterday are about it for the Fab Four and me. I'm kinda in the same boat on Elton John as well, Rocket Man (please don't post the Shattner version), Love Lies Bleeding and All the Girls Love Alice are about all I can take from Sir Elton.

That's not to say these aren't great or even epic bands that clearly steered the direction of rock and roll, it's just not my cuppa tea.

Dialing in my VP with the Cobalt flats, (105-45 IIRC)...
I have run the E string bridge saddle to its furthest extent. The open E is perfect, but the 12 fret is still a tad sharp (one bright red bar on a Korg Pitchblack). I can live with it, but ... dang it. All the other strings intonate great.

Reverse the saddle?
