The Rolling Stones: "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed," & "Sticky Fingers"

Interesting. I look forward to seeing these reviews as they fold out!

I don't know the Stones as nearly as well as I should quite yet, but Beggars Banquet has always been my go-to album when I've wanted to listen to them. Mainly because Sympathy for the Devil got me to listen to the album many more times than most of their other albums. Each time I listen to Banquet I enjoy it a little bit more!

I used to be what you would call a radio Rolling Stones fan, meaning that I liked all the Stones songs that were played on the radio, but I never really got into them or bought any of their albums. Once I picked up "Beggars Banquet," I was hooked and started collecting their albums, many of which are amazing all the way through. Frankly, I think that any music fan should have at least "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed," and "Sticky Fingers" in their collection. There is really not a bad song on any of those three albums, and those three albums created a genre in the process: "sleaze rock."

I'll post my review of "Let It Bleed" soon.

I basically started with their Forty Licks greatest hits because my grandma had it laying around the house and I was like "hey, why not?" Beggars Banquet was the first actual album I picked up, though.

I have everything from Aftermath to Exile except Their Satanic Majesties and Sticky Fingers. Obviously I need to pick up Sticky Fingers but I'm still finding time to give their other albums repeat listenings, so not a big loss for now. Havent seen a copy in good condition at my local record store yet either. Just junky copies with broken zippers...horrible!

I somehow scored a perfect condition Sticky Fingers with working zipper for $3 bucks at my local used record store (also got Yessongs in almost mint the same day for $3 bucks)... great day at the record shop.

Put "Goat Head Soup" and "Some Girls" on your list as well: Also excellent.

Some Girls was on my pick-up list but Goat Head Soup wasn't. I'll make sure to pick it up!
