Make no mistake it's "Exile On Main Street " due to the shear volume of different styles of music that the Rolling Stones covered on the album. Country, rock, pop, and blues all showed up on this album and I would propose that it took 30 years to actually appreciate the shear enormity of what was presented there. There was so much going on back then I don't really think it sunk in. After all it was greeted with mixed reviews by the music journalists at the time of it's release which looking back on their reviews now one must just shake their head in disbelief............
I would also point out that the songs that did not make the cut for the album were just as good as the ones that were pressed for the album.
