The Rolling Stones - their best album?

~~RJMcDonnell~~ · 02-10-2011, 12:01 PM

Exile has gotten a tremendous amount of recognition over the past year, but Sticky Fingers has always been my favorite. No matter what I'm doing, when the opening riff to Can't You Hear Me Knockin' comes on, my attention instantly gets directed to the sound.

Exile is kinda overrated for me.

Too many plodding mid-tempo songs.

I like all of the choices listed, but if I had to pick just one, "Let It Bleed" would be it.

I'd personally have to go with either Exile (which was what I voted for), Beggars Banquet, or Let It Bleed. Great stuff!

I've been playing around in Open G lately. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and Honkytonk Woman! Love those songs. Sympathy for the Devil is my next favorite and Painted Black.

Alright, new to the forum

Aftermath is by far my favourite stones album followed by let it bleed.

Surprised to see Aftermath with so little votes.

FFS, I just voted Beggars Banquet (no contest for me) and I'm the only vote?!

Howard the Duck · 03-21-2011, 09:24 PM

my mind is still open - haven't heard Goat's Head Soup or Aftermath yet

Gimmie Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are not even alone why Let It Bleed is the best. I actually get chills from the intro to Gimmie Shelter...it's chillingly good.
