Mick and Keith and Thomas

<< Think in terms of the arrangements on songs like "Monkey Man" or "Jumping
 Jack Flash". Who do you think was responsible for those? There's no George
 Martin behind the controls. It's really all Keith. >>

And Mick was ... where?

And you're saying, are you not, that the far, far superior Beatles albums 
from the same period had nothing to do, in terms of production, with the Beatles 
themselves?  George Martin is on record saying otherwise.

Anyway, you hold the songs you cite in higher regard than I do, though I 
think those are good, well-produced albums.  (But the choir in "You Can't Always 
Get What You Want" is laughably bad.  I didn't know, but have no doubt that, 
Keith conducted it.)

He's a good guitarist, great in the context of the band, not really so great 
otherwise.

But this is silly.  The comparison is absurd.  I could go into details, but 
I'm sure I wouldn't convince you.
