The Top Ten

Exile on Main Street

Exile on Main Street

It's the ultimate Stones album. By many it is considered the greatest rock n'roll album of all time.

This is and will be forever one of the legendary albums of all the times!

rocks off, rip this joint, tumblin' dice, sweet virginia, torn and frayed, loving cup, happy, let it loose, all down the line, shine a light. all these songs are pure perfection. the album is their best and I'm hooked on it.

Let It Bleed

The top 5 on this list would be mine but not in the same order. Exile had resurged as the fashionable favorite, not just since it's re-release but for many years. Probably because it got unfairly judged by it's critics in it's time. But,.. come come now.. let's look back on rock'n roll history. Exile does not have any of the orignality or intensity that the top three had. Let it bleed, Beggars and Sticky fingers. Given the choice of one Stones record and it could be a double album, I'd choose HOT ROCKS or ROLLED GOLD any way. That said, "Shine a light" is one of my all time favorites and I do love the record. Some Girls has another flavor some Stones fans don't like, but for the time, from a 60's band, fu.. 'n great! Think about it. If the Stones had gone heavy, it would have been worse than a joke. They stayed true to their r'n b, rock 'n roll roots and fresh at the same time with a sense of humour, throwing in a bit of dico "Miss YOU" a great song!, a bit of punk with true to their heart lyrics, "Respectable" and a great country song, "Far Away Eyes". At that time who would have the balls to mix it up like that and still be themselves? No one but the Stones!

There are great songs: Gimme Shelter, You can't... You got the silver, Country Honk, etc.

Musically, Let it Bleed is easily one of the Rolling Stones' more powerful albums. With hits like Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed, and You Can't Always Get What You Want, Let it Bleed is a rock and roll masterpiece, blending ballads, rock, and pop into one album.

Sticky Fingers

Sway is their best song ever! Mind blowing guitar solo from Mick Taylor. A truly classic rock album by one of the only bands that matter!

My favorite of the stones. I love it because of classics like Brown Sugar, and Wild Horses, but also because of hidden gems like Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and it ends with Moonlight Mile, their most beautiful song, which I listen to a lot driving home at night

Every song is great, but standout songs such as Brown Sugar, Bitch, I got the blues and Sister Morphine really carry it above all other Stones albums in my book!

Beggars Banquet
4Beggars Banquet

Love the whole tone of this album. Has some really underrated songs on it and every one has something that makes it different from the previous albums. My favourites are sympathy for the devil, dear doctor and prodigal son. Deserves to be at number 2.

Every song is great. sympathy for the devil, jigsaw puzzle, street fighting man, stray cat blues, and salt of the earth are fantastic. The rest of the songs are great too. My fave album ever!

Some Girls
5Some Girls

Don't let anyone fool you to think this is a disco album. Granted, Miss You may be disco, but the rest of the songs are a great mix of super-energetic rockers (When the Whip Comes Down, Lies, Shattered) and beautiful ballads (Far Away Eyes, Beast of Burden). While Exile on Main St. Has its week spots, Some Girls is a consistant strong record.
