What are your favorite Rolling Stones albums

[RagingInMiami]

Mine are (the order varies depending on the mood I'm in):

Exile on Main Street
Sticky Fingers
Beggars Banquet
Let it Bleed

[Omphaloskepsis]

1. None of the above..

I only listen to good music.. Rap / Hip Hop..

[RagingInMiami]

4. Like who?

[bettyellen]

2. dude what are you doing up?

i was just thinking i needed to ask you a favor.
:hi:

[RagingInMiami]

3. Ask me

I'm an insomniac who went out to watch the Miami Heat game, then started listening to the Stones as I drank more beer at home, trying to debate whether I should make myself a quesadilla.

[bettyellen]

6. i did ask, did you make the quesedilla?

check yer PM, LOL.

[RagingInMiami]

7. That sounds right up my alley

I'll get back to you on that.

I haven't made the quesadilla cause I'm trying to get into the habit of not eating so late at night, so I can lose those stubborn five pounds. Of course, I'm starving, so I might make it after all.

[bettyellen]

10. yes, when i saw that i said, i have to ask my friend from miami....

he will start you off with a beautiful pic! and this is a RL friend, so she's like, who what miami person?
ha!

[RagingInMiami]

12. Yes, the photog group will love that

Tell your friend that your friend from Miami is a raging lunatic.

[bettyellen]

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Mine:

Exile on Main Street
Let It Bleed
Beggars Banquet
Sticky Fingers

[RagingInMiami]

8. You didn't just rearrange my selections, did you?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. No, those are the ones I have.

Mine are in order, though.

[RagingInMiami]

11. Good

Those albums are from when the Stones were in their prime. Funny thing about Exile on Main Street, the songs they always play on the radio are not even close to being the best songs on the album.

[underpants]

15. Exile is one of the all time you 10 albums

and that is not a matter of opinion.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. In my top 10 as well.

Somewhere around #5.

[6000eliot]

14. I just got The Rolling Stones, Now!

And I love it. It has more of a rhythm and blues feel than any other Stones album I've heard.

[regularguy]

16. These four:

For me this is the not only the Stones best but arguably the greatest run of albums by any band:

Beggars Banquet
Let it Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street

(One might thow YaYas in there)

[RagingInMiami]

19. I love the live version of Stray Cat Blues on Get Your Ya-Yas Out

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. .

Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile
Aftermath (just to add a different one, Between the Buttons could sub here)

[SteppingRazor]

20. Exile, no question.

Exile on Main Street isn't just the best Stones album, but one of the greatest rock albums ever.

[RagingInMiami]

27. Hell yeah

That album gets better everytime I listen to it, and I bought my first copy of it when I was in high school. The only songs I fast forward through are Happy and Tumbling Dice, ironically the only songs on that album that get any regular airplay.

Loving Cup is probably my favorite song on that album followed by Ventilator Blues.

[bridgit]

21. sticky fingers, let it bleed, voodoo lounge...

:headbang:

[bridgit]

22. oh yeah & ya-ya'z...

:headbang:

[noonwitch]

23. Flowers and Let It Bleed

I like most of their older stuff.

[mvd]

24. Exile On Main Street #1

Sticky Fingers #2

[Taverner]

25. Let it Bleed of course

Sticky Fingers
Goat's Head Soup

[martymar64]

26. Some Girls

I bought that record right after seeing them on SNL. Soooooooo decadent . . . I loved them!
I few years ago I bought their box set "the Singles - London Years". Every song was a keeper.

Favorites songs (in no particular order, only as they come to mind):

Far Away Eyes
Shattered
Rip this Joint
Country Honk
Sympathy for the Devil
No Expectations
Dance Little Sister
Angie

And Many Many More . . . .

[maxsolomon]

1. Exile
2. Sticky Fingers
3. Let it Bleed
4. Some Girls
5. Beggar's Banquet
6. Its Only Rock n Roll
7. Ya Yas
8. Goats Head Soup
9. Big Hits Vol. 1 & 2 (Octagonal Vinyl Only!)

[mitchum]

30. My favorites are also the classic 4 in your list...

and "Let It Bleed" probably edges its way to the top spot due to its conciseness and perfection

[Glorfindel]

31. I'm probably the only person on earth who thinks

"Their Satanic Majesties Request" is the greatest Rolling Stones album, but I've always loved it, and always will. There's just something about being stoned and 21 years old and listening to "2000 Man," "Citadel," and "200 Light Years from Home" that really sticks with you...
:hippie:

[mitchum]

33. You and Peter Gabriel are the only two

I remember reading a quote years ago where he said that was their greatest work.
Sorry, but you guys are sooooooooooo wrong :)

[swag]

32. Mine are yours exactly, with regard to studio albums.

I would add as far as commercial releases:

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out
Hot Rocks Vol. 1

[XNASA]

34. I have a fondness for "Some Girls".

I remember the summer it came out very well.

[Initech]

35. Between The Buttons, A Bigger Bang, Thier Satanic Majesty's Request

Those are my top three.

The rest of my top ten:

1. Between The Buttons
2. A Bigger Bang
3. Their Satanic Majesty's Request
4. Aftermath (U.S. version)
5. Let It Bleed
6. Exile On Main St.
7. Beggar's Banquet
