Well, I'm a young Stones fan. I first heard it in 2002 from getting at my library (it was burned for me but I just got it again for $9.99 last week because it wasn't remastered). Surprisingly, I only heard the first 6 songs. I just thought it was too long. Then in 2005, I decided to listen to the whole thing. I wasn't really impressed but the after my real second listen, I loved it. Today, it's at #19 as one of my favorite albums of all time. I really do love this album now.
5. If Exile didn't win, which other album would you have want to win?

LOL.
It would've been higher if I had loved it the first time I heard it. #18 isn't a bad spot, IMO. It does beat Demons And Wizards by Uriah Heep and Band On The Run by Wings! |

1. Did your favorite album win?
Sure
2. What do you think of Exile on the scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best) ?
10
3. What are your five favorite songs off of this album?
Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, Torn and Frayed, Shine A Light, All Down The Line, Soul Survivor
4. When did you first hear this album? (tell when you first got it and what you thought of it at first)
First got it back in 1972 on the very first day it was released (was already a huge Stones fan back then). My first impressions at the TIME was that I thought it was great but also thought it was a little long with a lot of filler to make it a double album. It was only during subsequent listens that I began to discover the true power of Exile.
5. If Exile didn't win, which other album would you have want to win?
Beggars Banquet. It depends on the day or mood (BB, Exile, SF, LIB, and maybe Some Girls are all real close to one another- they are all great albums)

From the great Time Is On Our Side site, here are the band's feelings towards the album.
Note: I'm only picking a few quotes.
Mick's opinions
This new album is fucking mad. There's so many different tracks. It's very rock & roll, you know. I didn't want it to be like that. I'm the more experimental person in the group, you see I like to experiment. Not go over the same thing over and over. Since I've left England, I've had this thing I've wanted to do. I'm not against rock & roll, but I really want to experiment... The new album's very rock & roll and it's good. I think rock & roll is getting a bit... I mean, I'm very bored with rock & roll. The revival. Everyone knows what their roots are, but you've got to explore everywhere. You've got to explore the sky too.
- Mick Jagger, September 1971
Well I did like Exile very much. It was like four single-sided albums - hopefully something for everyone. It wasn't really meant to be played all at once.
-Mick Jagger, 1978
It's a bit overrated, to be honest. Compared to Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquet, which I think are more of a piece, I don't see it's as thematic as the other two. I'm not saying it's not good. It doesn't contain as many outstanding songs as the previous (sic) two records. I think the playing's quite good. It's got a raw quality, but I don't think all around it's as good.
- Mick Jagger, 1995
Exile On Main Street is not one of my favourite albums, although I think the record does have a particular feeling. I'm not too sure how great the songs are, but put together it's a nice piece. However, when I listen to Exile it has some of the worst mixes I've ever heard. I'd love to remix the record, not just because of the vocals, but because generally I think it sounds lousy... Of course I'm ultimately responsible for it, but it's really not good and there's no concerted effort or intention... As long as people like the album, that's fine. It's just that I don't particularly think it's a great album.
-Mick Jagger, 2003
Keith's opinions
When the record came out it didn't sell particularly well at the beginning, and it was also pretty much universally panned. But within a few years the people who had written the reviews saying it was a piece of crap were extolling it as the best frigging album in the world.
- Keith Richards, 2003
I'd like to have a single album compilation of my favorite Exile on Main Street tracks, though I still feel that the amount of material we had at that point warranted a double album, even if they are always too long.
- Keith Richards, 1973
Well, funnily enough, this year I've listened to (Stones albums) more than ever, because they all came out on CD... (T)he ones that impressed me were the ones I always thought were superior - Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed. And Sticky Fingers. And Exile. There's so much stuff on Exile that even I'm surprised. I can't even remember all of it: Oh yeah. Did I write that?
- Keith Richards, 1987, asked about his
favorite Stones albums
I don't often play Stones stuff but if I see a copy of Exile hanging about, I nick it and play it. I still love that record very much. I would say there is the best of the Stones in there - up till now... I've no doubt that one day we'll put out an Exile outtakes album.
- Keith Richards, 2001
.jpg)
Ronnie's opinion (only one!)
Beggars Banquet and Exile (are my favourites), but if you want one I'll stick with (Exile).
- Ron Wood, July 2002
None by Charlie
Bill's and Mick Taylor's opinions
Critics always like to give the Stones bad reviews. One day they're going to be right. They just haven't been right so far, because we always manage - I don't mean to be conceited, but we always manage - to come up with the goods, and the public seem to like it and buy it. Then three years later the reviewers turn around and say, Yeah, that was a great album, after saying at the time, It was a load of old shit. Most of them did that with Exile, and came back and said it was probably one of the greatest albums or packages that the Stones had ever put out. So what? (laughs). I don't care what they say anymore.
- Bill Wyman, 1982
My favorite two Rolling Stones records during the period I was with them, are Exile On Main Street and Sticky Fingers.
- Mick Taylor, 1993

1. Did your favorite album win?
No.
2. What do you think of Exile on the scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best) ?
4 performance-wise (5 for having the balls to put this out in 1972)
3. What are your five favorite songs off of this album?
Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Happy, Shine A Light and All Down The Line
4. When did you first hear this album? (tell when you first got it and what you thought of it at first)
Probably in 1989 (I only knew about because of Tumbling Dice. Picked up the cassette and when I first played it through, I didn't like it. But after countless hours of listening to it, it did grow on me.)
5. If Exile didn't win, which other album would you have want to win?
Let It Bleed. From start to finish, a Stones masterpiece (or should I say Keith's masterpiece?) |

4. When did you first hear this album? (tell when you first got it and what you thought of it at first)My sister left it home for whatever reason & I let it sit there for 2 yrs while my Stones fever was in first full flower.

5. If Exile didn't win, which other album would you have want to win? Sticky Fingers or ABB.

Really, truly. Is it a fucking surprise? Exile IS rock and roll. Actually, allow me to tell you my version of it. My allergory.
Exile is a tour.
Ya come out busting outta the blocks with Rocks off & rip this joint. Fuck the hamstrings or fingernails, just let the tigers out. Fuck the world!
Ya settle down with the rest of side 1. Just cruise it. Tumble my dice. It's all good.
Clouds!
Side 2 - ergh - another show in a shitty town. And who the fuck is the Mayor and his kids? The DJ from the local radio station is a cunt and he's brought some sluts backstage. Drugs aint working and i'm tired. Got shit on my shoes. So wired. So tired. Where to next? Another room. Another fucking fruit basket. Another fucking fight. Need my sweet black angel. Gonna need a loving cup.
Thunder.
Side 3 - So far from home. Yes, Missouri, you do rock. Sure, Peoria, you are the best audience. yep - You rock Springfield, better than Shelbyville. I'm a turd on the run. Fucking when will it end? I aint never gonna see his bloody face. Room 209? Ergh!!
Always darkest before the dawn!
Side 4 - Awright! Light at the end of the tunnel. 2nd wind. All down the line. uu-oh - stop breaking down. Man, gimme some glimmer. Nearly over. Lord, no more jump suits. No more fucking "meet the fans radio tickets". No more "So, how's the tour going?" Can i make it? Not long. Finale. I am a Soul Survivor. Fuck 'em. Love 'em, but fuck 'em. No one knows who we are. We do.
Thats it. Over. Comatose. So tired. Never again.
So, till the next time.
Buy me an island.
Get me a life.
Show me the money.
Need another wife.
