sonic1974 618 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 For me I'd say Sticky Fingers, but it's a tough call! For favourite song, and I think it's up there in the top 5 overall songs (not just stones' songs) is Gimme Shelter. What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbling dice is probably my favorite on the album. The thing about Exile..it has amazing songs, don't get me wrong, I love it! But being a double album, it also has a couple of almost throwaways, that are more jams than songs. Sometimes I'm in the mood for them, sometimes no. Not to piss on the album at all though, it's right up there for me. Edited November 9, 2020 by sonic1974 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
specialk 3,508 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sticky Fingers. As for song, ask me on 5 different days and I'll have 5 different answers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rechts 2,306 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Sticky. Everything with the other "Mick" taught me how to play rhythm guitar with attitude. Don't need to be a "lead guitarist" to be cool and change the world 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Disturber 4,296 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Today it's a close call between Some Girls and Tattoo You. Somedays Black and Blue is no 1, and some days Exile on Mainstreet. Edited November 9, 2020 by Disturber 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jakeboy 6,431 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I have 3....no, 4... Get Yer Ya-Yas Out...best live album ever. Sticky Fingers Let it Bleed and the outlier.... Blue and Lonesome...an incredible blues album late in the career. Edited November 10, 2020 by Jakeboy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

django49 9,381 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 What? No votes for "Satanic Majesty?" 😬 Seriously, if it was just one, Sticky Fingers. Has to do with a certain time and space and around 10,000 miles in 10 weeks in a VW bug with a barely functional cassette deck. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spanky 67 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Let it Bleed got full both sides play on my turntable often, but my favorite is Love You Live. Maybe not their best live offering, but the 8track came with my first Camaro and it was the first cassette I bought after replacing the 8track. Basically wherever that old Camaro went, live Stones were playing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A rockin’ 3 guitar affair with one throwaway IMO...Far Away Eyes....Jagger’s parody stillgrates on me...I wish they would have kept one of the “straight” recordings he did...Keith says Mick sang it beautifully in rehearsal, but when the tape rolled, he went into that C&W Schtick. Every song otherwise just kills for me...even Miss You. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gino 291 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I can't make up my mind: Let it Bleed was my first LP record ever (having bought it after I had bought the Honky Tonk Women single), Sticky Fingers blew my mind when I got that next and then there was / is Get Yer YaYas Out, which is also great. And yes, you can't always listen to everything on Exile on Mainstreet, but it has some really fine songs. After Exile, I didn't care very much about what came then. Brussels Affair ist a blast though... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brussels Affair ist a blast though... Ah, and don't forget Beggars Banquet! For me (being a hard-core Stones fan from 1969 to about 1972) that album was a turning point for the Stones from being more or less a pop band (with nasty lyrics...😁) to becoming a very serious rock band - especially after Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones. Keef's stuff was getting serious with BB, even more so with Let it Bleed and with Mick T. joining the band, they really took off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dasein 1,482 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sticky & Let it Bleed both compete for the top spot for me here with the edge going to Sticky but my heart wants it to be Let it Bleed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe 528 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 "Black and Blue" for me, but that's probably because I was fifteen when that came out. Gabe 😀 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
