I would agree on at least Satanic Majesties and Out Of Our Heads. Those albums plus Now! would be my "others."

Goats Head Soup is great too actually. I love this song:

I can hear why GHS has fans - No question that "Angie" is certainly one of the finest 70's Rock ballads (Great winter-time listening...or nice for getting your date into the back area of that super van, and I meant that in the best way possible) and "Heartbreaker" is one mighty fine jam, but the album to me was the start of the Post-Exile Stones that had some solid tracks, but just did not connect all the way with me. "Winter" is another fine track, "Dancing With Mr. D" had some great imagery in the lyrics, and there's "Star Star," a great soundtrack to a Decadent scene in the 70's. It captured a flavor, and Keith always sounds great, but I'm more into the Brian Jones era to Exile.

Not going to lie, I find the way Jagger sings the name "Angie" to be quite grating.

I have 3 albums rated the same on RYM: Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers, and It's Only Rock 'n' Roll. The first two would probably duke it out for top honor, but I'm not prepared to make that call.

The title track from Let It Bleed is quite possibly my favourite Stones song, so I'm gonna go for that.

Angie is definitely the greatest break up song ever. My wife's name is Angela and she knows what will be playing if we ever divorce.

Exile on Main Street is by far their best album. Their most complete album.

Sort of a tie between "Let it bleed" and "Satanic majesties", and just to be contrary I vote "other" in favour for the latter. (And because "Satanic" is as underrated as "Bleed" is overrated).
