Favourite Rolling Stones album?

What is your favourite Rolling Stones album?

 

[IDGAF]

Find it too hard to get the struck match between Exile on main st. and beggars banquet ..

Depends on what you are on at the time

 

[johnnyhoward]

Exile on Main Street gets my vote. Let It Bleed a very close second.

 

[graingerg]

Sticky Fingers.All killer no filler.

 

[materamagic]

For me the 2 best ever Stone's albums are Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers. I went for Let It Bleed because if I want to listen to a Stones album, thats the one I mostly reach out for.

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out for me

 

[Angus1]

The Stones album I play the most is Sticky Fingers.

I like the quieter Stones songs such as Wild Horses, Sway, Moonlight Mile and of course the brilliant Maryanne Faithfull song Sister Morphine.
Actually this entire album is excellent.
You Gotta Move, I Got the Blues, Dead Flowers


Goats Head Soup is another Stones album i play a fair bit.

 

[SunKing]

Beggars banquet is my favorite from the ones i've heard. Would have been even better with jumpin jack flash.

And perhaps aftermath and between the buttons should have been included for those who prefer their mid 60's stuff.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Voted for Exile on Main St. but I'm also a big fan of It's Only Rock n Roll - massively underrated album...

 

[collo21]

Get yer ya ya's out special mention to Aftermath has the quite class iam waiting

Fingerprint File is a very underrated song off this underrated album. Although the Stones have a typical sound, there are so many different sounds they were able to master. Fingerprint File is a different sound to usual but they pull it off with aplmb.

Time Waits for No One has some great Mick Taylor work and I don't mind Short and Curlies.

Sticky Fingers - "Can't you hear me knockin'" is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Sole reason for voting Sticky Fingers?

Speaking of underrated, their latest (and probably last) album "A Bigger Bang" had some decent tracks on it like "Oh No Not You Again" and is more than you would expect from a touring band.

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out for me

One of the best live albums of all time. I listened to it this morning. Some of the performances are definitive versions of the song. Midnight Rambler and the guitar playing on "Sympathy for the Devil" is unreal. My copy is the DSD remastered CD.

Does anyone know if there are any great DVD's of the band in concert during their prime years?

I really like "A Bigger Bang" now, wasn't impressed when it first came out but you have got to give it a chance. There are several good songs, and yes, more than 2 or 3 tracks of average/mediochre fare when you compare it to what the band has done in the past but for 2005 it was a good rock album.

The Gimme Shelter movie [brilliant with Get yer Ya Ya's Out vintage performances] is on DVD but not sure if in Australia.

But the 'Sympathy For the Devil' DVD which i got recently is a bummer - some weird movie, though interspersed with rehearsals for the title track which are OK

It's available. I think I have a copy on VHS. Scratchy, not well made (what was back then?), a fair bit of filler, but a few classic moments.

This was shot on their 69/70 tour that spurned Get Yer ya ya's out, Sticky Fingers (They recored in Mussel Shoals Studio during this tour) and a biography of the band by Stanley Booth (good book).

Good vision of the band listening to early more bluesy cuts of Brown Sugar and final cuts of Wild Horses. And Hells Angels on bad acid going bananas with pool cues and then the dude getting shot at the Altamont concert.

Admittedly a compilation, one of the earliest made. Not a dud among them. Still some blues influence, rather than just R&R. Oh, and its got Brian Jones.

It's blasphemy to pick a compilation album as your favourite.

Flip of the coin b/w Exile On Main St. & Goats Head Soup.

Well, you above all others should know that blasphemy is one of my favourite pastimes.

I don't mind it either but when discussing favourite albums you got to pick a studio album - even if you prefer the compilation. What I'm saying is: when asked the question of you favourite album it means favourite studio album. Counting compilations is cheating.
