The new reissue of "Exile on Main St." is instructive for any self-respecting rock wonk and manna for all the Stones junkies out there (the ten bonus tracks — including the perfect mid-tempo "Plundered My Soul" — will give hardcore fans months of new musical fodder to chew on). Most importantly, it just rocks in a way little else has in the years since. But do bands like the Stones have it in them to create new masterpieces?
