4. That's a great album
Our band does "Live with me" as part of our list for years. We are mainly original, but that song rocks. Keith on Bass.
It has always been a strange one though because they were in the in-between phase. It's like an album with "outtakes", but they aren't outtakes. It is one of my favorites too.

3. Some Girls
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 10:04 AM by Richardo
It's the only one I own. Bought it solely for 'Shattered' - my favorite Stones song. (But I like most of the rest of it, too.)

8. Some consider that their last "great" album
It is a pretty good one too. When I listen to it, it takes me back to when it came out. I get too much of a memory rush, but I put it on now and again to remember what it was like to not have bills..LOL.

9. Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out
One of rock's all-time best live disks, EVER.

11. That is a great live disk
Did they re-release that with any bonus material? I always figured that should have been a double record. It just seems too short.

16. They released a remastered version, but the track listing is....
...the same as the vinyl. The sound quality is better, though, and you get a much better mix.

Still worth every penny. The Stones were at their peak, and Mick Taylor was grooving on the leads.

32. Mick Taylor
Easily the finest lead player the Stones ever had. His silky tone and fluid style added so much texture to the band's sound. "Time Waits For No One" and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" are just exquisite solos.

28. Better yet...
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 10:59 AM by Atlas Mugged
Get the re-release of 'Gimme Shelter' on DVD. It has some astonishing extras on it, especially the live film version of 'Little Queenie'. There's a bit with Keith in the studio mixing 'Oh Carol' that's great too; the cameraman gets in his way - Keith gets REALLY pissed off.

Oh edit: I don't have a favorite Stones' album, really; it's all a mood thing. I happen to love 'Steel Wheels' & 'Voodoo Lounge', too. But I acknowledge the Gold Streak: 'Beggars Banquet', 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile On Main Street'. The only Stones' album I have a problem with is 'Black & Blue'; I utterly loathe 'Hot Stuff'.

31. One of these days I will have to get that on DVD
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but it is a classic. The extra footage would be great to see.
I really don't have a "favorite" one either. I was just thinking of this album when I posted. It is one of my favorites, but like you, it's a mood thing.

Except for the dubbed version of Fortune Teller. That was a bit cheesy.

14. Yeah
Another great one. I haven't put the Stones on for a while, I just thought I would start this thread. But now I want to go home and pull out some of their stuff and listen for a while. Under My Thumb has always been one of my top Rolling Stones records. Good choice.

18. Goats Head Soup
is another one of my favorites. Believe it or not their live album from the '90's 'Stripped' is a pretty damn good one too.

22. I have Stripped
That is a great disc. The Stones "unplugged" doing some of their old tunes. A great record.

But I'm also one of those reprobates that really digs Their Satanic Majesties Request, so my judgment is obviously suspect.

39. Fantastic DVD
The affection between John Lennon and the Stones is something most people are unaware of - until you see it documented so well on 'The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus'.

29. One time for "Between The Buttons!"
Hearing "Complicated" in that printer commercial on TV a few weeks back made me remember what a great keyboard band the Stones were, too.

Oh, yeah: Bill Wyman RULED in 1966!

:smoke:

30. Some Girls
As far as "official" albums go, anyway.

If we open up the competition to bootlegs, I'd have to go with "Brussels Affair (definitive edition)". It's a great live album from 1973 which should have been official, but for whatever reason never was. Royalty disputes with former manager Allen Klein was the most likely reason.

It's amazing how much damage one turtlenecked moron did to the two greatest bands in history (Klein also managed the Beatles in their final year or so)

33. Gotta go with "Exile".
For me Beggers Banquet --> Let it Bleeed --> Ya Yas --> Exile --> Sticky Fingers is the greatest run of albums ever by any band!

40. Sticky Fingers, no doubt..
And I'll say it again; the Mick Jones-era Stones (69-74) were The Stones at their best.
