Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street
I don't actually own any albums besides A Bigger Bang, but I've had 40 Licks, Jump Back and Hot Rocks for a while.
Which would be best to get first? |

Well, it could be argued that you should buy them in chronological order, to get a proper perspective of the musical progression that exploded over the course of those few years. But if you had to buy just one, I would recommend Sticky Fingers. I simply love it. Besides the well known Wild Horses and Brown Sugar, you will discover absolute gems such as I Got The Blues, Moonlight Mile and my favorite all-time Stones' song: Bitch. I envy you being able to hear it for the first time, because it was a wonderful memory to discover these songs and fall in love with them. Enjoy!

Thats a 'curly' you've thrown R.B. and since I cant come to the conclusion of picking one over another, I recommend you buy them all.
Personally, I was influenced by their early 60's albums and I just progressed through the catalogue.
Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed will always be amoungst my favourites but then again, I have a soft spot for all their albums!
Goodluck. |

Pound for pound, there is no better Stones album than Sticky Fingers. |

If I was starting over, I'd buy them in chrono order. When you get to Exile, you will not believe that anyone made music like that. Exile went beyond its roots and influences - probably the best music ever made on this earth. |

I think you just simply MUST own them all, so if I were you, I would buy them in the order they were released. Each one you buy and listen to is going to make you want to rush out and buy the next. Also, I would add Ya Ya's in the group (as in my avatar)... I'm sure you'll be happy. |

All four are indispensable.
Exile is the leader of the pack, tho a newcomer would probably find Sticky Fingers more catchy. |

Buy them in chronological order.
Spend some time with each of them, before moving to the next.
Exile is the crown jewel.

Sticky Fingers would be better listening for a new fan, Exile has way too much filler that we (true stones fans) are the only ones who truly accept them. Let it Bleed is a close second. |

Buy Let It Bleed. It is their best album and the most accessible one for a new fan. You probably know most of the songs. I would follow it up with Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers and then Exile. But definitely buy Exile last because it is kind of difficult to get into. It needs repeated listens and this made dissuade you from buying any additional albums. But it is a great album.
While you're at it, don't stop there. Get Some Girls, Black and Blue and Tattoo You. Avoid Dirty Work and Still Life at all costs. |

Hard to believe the Stones topped Sticky with their next album. What a band. What audacity. Those guys were on fire and perfect back then. Absolutely perfect, noting else like them. |

Exile is an incredible album (and an artistic masterpiece that is without peer in the rock/blues genre) but it takes a while to realize just how brilliant it is. At least that was true for me. Sticky fingers will provide a quicker fix for a would be stones addict. Especially sister morphine 
I mean, you really can't go wrong with any of those albums. Its all good. Nothing bad or ugly. |
