On May 12, 1972, the Rolling Stones released Exile on Main Street.
The high point of civilization as we know it? It's all been downhill since then!

The greatest album of all time.
It has been all downhill since then, but thankfully a very long and low degree gradient. Nigh on 34 years later, the Stones still get it out and bust a move. |

Hey, who's the guy in the center of the second tier of photos, right under the picture of Mick Taylor and to the right of the tongue poster?
Anybody know?
He seems happy to be on the cover of the greatest album of all time! |

It is the standard of which all others are measured. And none come close.
Only LIB & SF are even in the same ballpark.

that'll be Tony Sanchez; Keiths 'assistant' and drug dealer from 69' to 76' i think. |

history made with release of this dirty gritty album that many fans needed to hear a few times before raving about it while critics for the most part raved about it on first listen.
me i was part of the former... needed a few listens before i appreciated it. |

Should it really be listened gradually, side after side (like Jagger, I think, said), instead of, like, totally completely? |

Amen .
Our band is not loved by all the masses and I like it like that . Indeed , We are like a secret society . Undercover of the night we are . Hug Me .
Fleabit , I often think of the poor long lost bastards out there that don't listen to the Rolling Stones . Especially in their cars whilst driving along on the Interstate heading into Downtown Chicago . Those individuals have sick , empty lives . I do NOT want to know people like THAT .

It looks like Jim Price?

I used to think Sticky Fingers was the best. But as someone here said, once you "get" Exile on Main Street, there's no way back |

Just thinking, the same happens with the Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime, the Beatles White Album, Dylan's Blonde On Blonde, Ween's GodWeenSatan and, mmh, Oops I Did It Again?. Better to appreciate if listened gradually. Why? Because they're not "concept" albums (Tommy, Quadrophenia, Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Joe's Garage); they're more than the sum of their parts.

You have friends that actually listen to Nickleback?
With friends like that, who needs enemies.

Exile is better than anything, ever, anywhere. I can prove it too. |

Regarding the question about the man in the picture
I don't think it looks like Jim Price or Spanish Tony. Going to have to ask Robert Frank.

I've always thought Ii looks alot like a young Lyle Alzado from the Oakland Raiders.
Or it could even be Joey Buttafuco.

the critics actually initially gave it bad reviews, then realised it was genius to my knowledge; either way it is THE best Stones album, period. |

The man in the picture your asking about is Marshall Chess, who was the president of Rolling Stones Records.
Just watch C**ksucker Blues 1972, his the shirtless guy in the beginning of the movie. |

Yes, Oops I Did It Again should be listened to very, VERY gradually.. |
