The Rolling Stones - their best album?

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 04-04-2011, 02:35 AM

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.

Haha I was wondering the same thing. Sticky Fingers will always be amazing.

While realistically not their best album Beggars Banquet has always struck a chord with me.

I'm surprised Sticky Fingers is the top. My favorites go like this:

1. Exile on Main St.
2. Let it Bleed in a very close second, could beat Exile if I was in a different mood is how close they are.
3. Beggars Banquet
4. Some Girls
5. Between the Buttons(US Release has Ruby Tuesday, British doesnt for some reason)
6. Their Satanic Majesties

For me it was "Let it Bleed" it was a pivotal time for the Stones and this album reflects their new direction.

Yup, would go with "Exile".
Personally, I thought "Sticky Fingers" was a decent album, but over rated.

To me, Sticky Fingers is a great album. It was the sound that seriously kept them going after what happened in 1969 that would have killed off the momentum of many other bands. It was very energetic. I can understand that it can be viewed as over-rated, especially with a few songs being played over and over ("Brown Sugar" - I wonder if Bar Bands still have a habit of playing it), but as it is it's very strong to my ears.

Maybe not my Stones era (that will still have to be The 60's), but both Sticky Fingers and the far better Exile remain my favorite Mick Taylor era albums.
