In this week’s issue of Rolling Stone, senior editor David Fricke awards Mick Jagger’s greatest-hits compilation The Very Best Of Mick Jagger an exceptional four and a half stars. Impressive, until you consider that the Rolling Stones front man’s last solo album Goddess in the Doorway received a perfect score of five stars (in a review penned by Mick’s buddy, RS editor-in-chief Jann Wenner) back in 2001. We can only assume that Very Best would have fared better if it had included more songs from Goddess in the Doorway.
