Essential Rolling Stones?

What I don't think has been mentioned yet is that quite a lot of the Stones early singles made between 1963 & 1967 were never released on official studio albums (Hence there being hundreds of compilations and differences between U.K. & U.S. releases) If you were to get Hot Rocks 1 & 2 or The London Singles Collection that would give you pretty much all of them plus B sides.

Also Goat's Head Soup doesn't seem to get a lot of love here but I would say it's easily their best album out of the top 4.

Make sure you check out their 4 golden era records, then worry about the others.

I'd like to echo this. Hot Rocks 1 is a great collection of songs and is probably an easier place to start than any of their albums.
