In terms of studio performance.......Their First, (not sure what it was called in US), reigns supreme.
In terms of song writing (lyrics)......Aftermath.
Music writing, music, dunno! Too many!
Live....Ya-Yas.
Best pop tune......JJF
Most underrated singles..... Have Seen Mother Baby and Highwire
Best intro....Gimme Shelter
Best concert.....29/09/65! |
|
Joey |
Most Underrated ......" Goats Head Soup "
God I love Mick Taylor !!!!!
Taylor saved the Stones !
|
|
Martini |
Dirty Work
You gotta love the "Miami Vice" look to their clothing and the cover design. The music? Well...

Exile, without hesitation |

Hell Joey........You are spot-on! Taylor (and the Beefheart inspired Cooder)saved the post-Jones Stones. They were worrying times! I walked out of the wonderful 1973 cow shed concert near Stafford thinking "this could be the last time"....and fortunately I have never said that since AND DEFINITELY won't be saying after being ripped off for numerous concerts on this tour. It won't be the last one. |

Well, overall, I'd say Exile, in terms both of musicaliciousness and play it gets in my playah. If we go by the former, I'll never be able to choose the next few, but in terms of how often I brush them off to hear what I like, next's Sticky Fingers, then Bleed, then Banquet, then Some Girls, I could go on and on and on all the way down.... to Steel Wheels and Black & Blue. *Retch*. I'm not a big fan of Aftermath either, apart from "Paint It Black" & "Under My Thumb", and to a lesser extent, "Lady Jane".
Exile is the Stones's White Album... I know it gets said a lot but it's true... just so many musical styles. And Mick complains doesn't have a real cohesiveness, but I think just that whole underflow of "we're castaways from our native country recording high on everything we can invervenously inject into our wrecked corpses down in the basement of our own private paradise/hell" that gives it a raw, pure set of emotions. And they don't exactly flow in a cohesive structure, but it's that raw feeling that underscores the whole album that makes it so great.
Righty-o. End rant. |

Gotta agree with TheSavage....Exile is amazing! I also really like Goats Head Soup....it's got a certain funky-ness; I totally dig it! |

This is quite tricky. "Exile" is a truly brilliant album, but at the same time its overated. Not in the rock world so to speak, but amoungst us Stones fans it is. If you are looking at that 68-72 period, then i would say "Sticky Fingers" At the end of the day, "Exile" doesnt have "Brown Sugar" or "Wild Horses", yet it has "Turd On |

Anyway, i think "Some Girls" is the best

Recently I have been listening to No Security when I get home with a party in my mind or when got drunk.
It's really great!!
I can't decide, my answer will be different each time.
Brian Jones Era: Beggars Banquet.
Mick Taylor Era: Exile on Main Street.
Ron Wood era: Some Girls.
All in between 1968 and 1978 |

Tough call. I'd prefer to name the top five (in no particular order): Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet, Exile on Main St., Some Girls and honourable mention to Flowers and IORR. |
|
John Wood |
My favorites are all from 76 to 83. Yes all of those albums
Black and Blue, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You,
Still Life, and Undercover! I know a lot of you will disagree
but those are the first albums I got as a kid and will remain
my favorites. |
