Let It Bleed is the best one as far as Im concerned - Ry Cooder had a lot of influence in its making

[slum_goddess]

let it bleed IMO partly cause bobby keys goes wild on tenor sax. as well, i think Monkey Man is one of the most under-rated, underheard stones songs ever (i like to blast it right before we go out, excellent 'speeding down the highway prior to partying' music). :P

[robsterman1]

What about the Hot Rocks 1964 album? That album's got a lot of good material on it. Is that just a compilation? "Play With Fire" is a tune I like on that album.

[slum_goddess]

i think that's a compilation, but i couldn't be sure.

ahhhh...the stones. saw keith richards holding forth about the blues on a rerun of the series " walk don`t run - the history of the popular song " the other day...he looked like he`d been pickled in embalming fluid.....what a very cool dude and guitarist and songwriter and drugtaker and rock survivor...he has my utmost admiration for just still being alive!!!

fav stones album?..." let it bleed "
fav stones track?....." midnight rambler "......one of the greatest opening riffs....very menacing...guaranteed to make the establishment collectively crap their pants when they heard the lyrics of this little gem.

MIDNIGHT RAMBLER (m. jagger/k. richards)

Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
The one that shut the kitchen door
He don’t give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don’t go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cock’rel crows

Talkin’ about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin’ about the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighin’ down the wind so sadly
Listen and you’ll hear him moan
Talkin’ about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Well, honey, it’s no rock ’n’ roll show
Well, I’m talkin’ about the midnight gambler
Yeah, everybody got to go

Well did ya hear about the midnight gambler?
Well honey it’s no rock-in’ roll show
Well I’m talking about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before

Oh don’t do that, oh don’t do that, oh don’t do that
Don’t you do that, don’t you do that (repeat)
Oh don’t do that, oh don’t do that

Well you heard about the boston...
It’s not one of those
Well, talkin’ ’bout the midnight...sh...
The one that closed the bedroom door
I’m called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...
Or just the shoot ’em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before

So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
Coming down your marble hall
Well he’s pouncing like proud black panther
Well, you can say i, I told you so
Well, don’t you listen for the midnight rambler
Play it easy, as you go
I’m gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

Did you hear about the midnight rambler
He’ll leave his footprints up and down your hall
And did you hear about the midnight gambler
And did you see me make my midnight call

And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
I’ll steal your mistress from under your nose
I’ll go easy with your cold fanged anger
I’ll stick my knife right down your throat, baby
And it hurts!

Gimme Shelter is another great cut - an anthem... And Stray Cat Blues from Beggars Banquet is about as good a rock song as songs go..

Hot Rocks has alot of great cuts - Satisfaction, Play with Fire, Time is on My Side, Jumpin Jack Flash... a pretty good early stone's collection..

man, what a catalogue of music the Stones have, eh..........


I voted for Let it Bleed, but Beggers Banquet has to be a close second. Those 2 albums contain enuff great songs that if they were the only 2 the Stones ever put out, it would still be enough to rank them as the greatest band ever. But of course, it was just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, Start Me Up was written what, almost 20 years later? Man, I love the Stones..................

[hunkydory]

I think Beggar's Banquet and Let it Bleed are ultimately more accomplished albums, but I chose Aftermath. Besides well-known classics like "Paint it Black" and "Under My Thumb", which clearly paved the way for their later work perfecting their raw mix of blues, r&b, soul, and (occasionally) country, there are the more baroque tracks like "Lady Jane" and the gorgeous "I am Waiting". By the time of Beggar's, the Stones had basically given up this sort of exploration. Such a beautiful, autumnal record.

[MrBag]

Beggars Banquet, is the bomb

[Party Guy]

Beggars Banquet. Great songwriting. Let it Bleed comes in a close second. It has a little more variety, conseqeuntly isn't as cohesive. The earlier albums are more singles oriented, and are better is short doses.

There isn't much to choose between beggars banquet and let it bleed. I just give let it bleed the nod because it has gimme shelter. Has there ever been a better rock track than gimme shelter ? I really doubt it. Aftermath is good too.

Maybe - Satisfaction

It's not from the 60's, but this one has always been my favorite Stones album.
