Gotta go with "Let it Bleed".

Henry-Lilly · Answer

Right now it&#x27;s "Let it Bleed" for me too, with "Sticky Fingers" being a close second.  Tastes change over the years, though.  When I was in middle school I thought "Some Girls" was the best thing going and then in college I thought "Their Satanic Majesties Request" was the greatest album ever made.  Good thread.

Sorry to disagree with all of you but" Exile On Main Street " from 1972 is an amazing Double LP, and is my number one.
Not too many of the songs are popular and over killed by the radio on Exile . ( Tumbling Dice & Happy ). Give it another listen and you will agree.Rip This Joint, Rocks Off . Turd On The Run , Let It Loose etc. are all great songs.
If you think about it, that period from 1968 to 1973 was a GREAT period for the Stones. They were in a tough spot in late 1967 after their answer of Sgt Peppers ( Satanic Majesties Request ) was a complete failure ,and 3 of the 5 members were saddled with heavy Drug Busts. They recovered with Begger's Banquet with Dave Mason & Clapton helping out ,and then Mick Taylor came in and they whipped out all those great releases you guys mentioned.
I sure hope Mick Taylor sits in w /them at some point when they do their last tour. Because Ronnie Wood can not hold Mick Taylor's Jock.

Mitch-No doubt "Exile on Main Street" is greatness.  If you haven&#x27;t already, check out the documentary "Stones in Exile".  It&#x27;s about the making of the album and what was going on with the band at the time.  Good shit.  Here&#x27;s the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXcqcdYABFw

sowhat83 · Answer

One of my favorite lesser known RS songs....it&#x27;s from 1983Too Much Blood

Runnin Mitch · Answer

Good to see all the Stones love in here. I agree w/ so what , Time Waits For No One is a wonderful swan song to the end of his run.

If any of you get a chance seek out the Bootleg " The Trident Mixes" It is from that golden period and has such great unreleased songs like Blood Red Wine , Leather Jacket, Still A Fool . I have it on Vinyl ,but a friend of mine recently found it at a record store in New York City.I can not begin to tell you how great this album is.

Incredible that they had a tax rate of 93% in England at the time.  They had a lot of debt but even if they made $1,000,000 each they would only have seen 70k of it.  The rest was tax.  No wonder they left.

Roger that, a great album with some real classics on it.

Spartacus10 · Answer

It&#x27;s tough to choose between Sticky Fingers and Let it Bleed. I personally like all their stuff as my dad is a massive Stones fan and I grew up listening to their music. In my honest opinion, and I may take shit for this, but they&#x27;re the greatest rock n roll band of all time. Yes, better than The Beatles.

Biscuiteater1 · Answer

not one mention of Get Yer Ya Ya&#x27;s Out.

Sugarhouse · Answer

Sticky Fingers has my vote, just because it has this song.

THEMUGG · Answer

Everybody has an opinion...........mine isn&#x27;t the same as yours.  Have never been a big Stones fan. I like some of their stuff &amp; definitely respect them, but it&#x27;s never been music I&#x27;ve loved...............don&#x27;t know why.
