The Rolling Stones

I was reading the thread on The Beatles and was surprised to see no thread on The Rolling Stones. Anyone here a fan? What is your favorite album by them?

 

I enjoy the Stones much more than The Beatles for what it's worth. Some Girls is probably my favorite, but there's a lot of runners up.

 

Not to make this a Beatles vs Stones thread but I for sure prefer The Beatles. More great records. And they have the better songs. However. Love the Stones.

Tier 1: Exile On Main Street, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, and Let It Bleed

Tier 2: Some Girls, Aftermath, Between the Buttons

 

Found Steal Wheels used for 3.99 and boy was that a good impulse buy. The cleaned up production really sounds great on them and there are some really staple songs.

 

80's Stones are not my favorite Stones, but I always enjoy listening to those albums.

 

Side B of Tattoo You is their 80s (and tbh final) peak for me

Just excellent song after excellent song

 

Mick has the best Twitter.

 

Still waiting on them to announce the rescheduled dates

 

Apparently they are being announced tomorrow. Cross my fingers.

 

everytime i listen to exile i find something new. what a perfect record, man. well, almost. there is turd on the run, still.

 

I feel that way about Sticky Fingers. I really listened closely to Taylor's parts on "Sway" the other night and damn that just took me away.

 

Excited to see them in two weeks

 

mick is definitely my favorite of their rotation of leads. dude rules.

 

Bet the New Orleans show gets postponed/canceled tomorrow.

 

Yeah I do love Brian and Ronnie, but Mick gave them a true magic they never quite replicated before or after. He and Keith just had it.

Well, with one exception, Keith's interplay with himself on "Gimme Shelter"

 

have you checked out mick's solo album? pretty solid

 

I haven't but I saw a lot of chatter on twitter about how overlooked/underappreciated it is when it had an anniversary recently so I'm planning on giving it a listen soon.

I also want to get to some of the Bluesbreakers stuff he was on.

 

Very very stoked

 

hell yeah

 

Holy hell that was awesome. They played Heartbreaker and I Probably was too amped

 

I really believe Their Satanic Majesty's Request is majorly underrated. I know the psychedelic hippie thing was a weird fit for them, but I also think they were very good at it.

 

As much as I love the Stones, I barely listen to their albums.

 

completely agree

 

"She's a Rainbow" is on a very short list of their most impressive singles.
