Street Fighting Man or Gimme Shelter: it's like each song is an ode to fight or flight retrospectively. So I'll go with The Hand of Fate cause it's fight and flight all in one song.

Shelter. Legend has it that as they finished the recorded-cut, the guitar Keith was playing just fell apart in his hands.

Also, SFM sucks.

Exile on Main Street is the only RS album I can get behind. Everything else is just boring ass dad rock. I know I sound like Elph but I don't care. I've tried for years to get into them and I just can't do it.

Shelter.

It’s pretty amazing to me that you could feel that way about a band I love so much.

Their Satanic Majesties Request gets a pass from me too. Everything else hits me the same way Steely Dan or The Eagles hit me which is like limp right hook from a cocktail waiter from the Meat Packing District named Stefon.

SMR was my favorite Stones record when I was in college.
