Wots yer favourite Stones album?

[Taverner]

I do not make this a poll simply because bootlegs might be involved.

Me? Either Let it Bleed, Exile on Main Street or Between the Buttons.

1. I did have the original Sticky Fingers w/functioning zipper

But something mysterious happened and all my vinyl disappeared

[Enrique]

7. sounds like some kind of Rapture for records

:scared:

[Seedersandleechers]

12. Sticky Fingers Model

Joe Dallesandro

[Generic Brad]

2. Some Girls

And I am not trying to get razzed, but I also really enjoyed A Bigger Bang.

3. Sticky Fingers, and Beggars Banquet. Out of Our Heads is real good too.

Still have my vinyl copies of all 3, including the Sticky Fingers zipper cover.

If I had to pick just one, I guess I'd go with Sticky Fingers, but it'd be a close call.

4. Let It Bleed

[zabet]

5. Toss up between

Sticky Fingers and Goats Head Soup

[raccoon]

6. I'd say Beggar's Banquet, although December's Children is dear to my heart, being the first Stones

album I ever bought.

I've never understood why some people like Between the Buttons. IMO, most of the songs on it aren't that great. I've been listening to "Who's Been Sleeping Here?" on Youtube and it's great. But the
rest of the songs I don't think are that good.

I'm referring to the American album; I don't know what all is on the UK one.

8. Exile on Main Street mainly for a handful of great songs

Tumbling Dice, Happy, All down the line, ...

[Enthusiast]

19. Me too nt

9. Let it Bleed and

Sticky Fingers, with SF being #1 if I am forced to choose. Mick Taylor's guitar solo on "Can You Hear Me Knockin'" is exquisite beyond words and Bobby Keyes' sax solo is right there as well.

10. "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" is nothing short of infinitesimal awesomeness

On the first, and every subsequent listen

15. That's the fact,

JACK!! The way Mick T and Keef "talk" to each other with their guitars is spine-chilling. A little back-and-forth, Taylor gently asking musical questions and Keef responding. It's like Keef nods "go, Mick" at some point and Taylor takes off to a very cannabis-fogged stratosphere. Mick T was the best lead player the Stones ever had.

I recently read a newspaper interview with Bobby Keyes, who said that the band, sans Mick J, was just noodling around with the end of the song, so he went in to the studio and started to blow. And that take was used on Sticky Fingers, much to Keyes' amusement.

11. December's children

Which would be a good name for some weed

[Dr Fate]

18. Great record- only released in the US, not even a "real" Stones record.

It was compiled from tracks shaved off the actual Stones approved release in England...

But who cares, it is still a hot record just the same!

[geardaddy]

13. Beggar's Banquet and Some Girls

[blogslut]

14. Black & Blue

Because it is the only Stones album I ever owned and because it contains my favorite Stones song: Memory Motel

I can't explain why but the line:

What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor?
It's just some friends of mine
And they're busting down the door...

- just. wrecks. me.

[Tom Ripley]

16. Let It Bleed

[Dr Fate]

17. England's Newest Hitmakers, 12 X 5. No love for the Brian Jones era, folks? nt

[OriginalGeek]

22. Get yer Ya Yas out

it's probably cheating since it is a high concentration of hits but it has Sympathy For The Devil and I love live music. (overdubs notwithstanding)

[Glorfindel]

20. I'm probably the only one, but "Their Satanic Majesties Request"

is my favorite Rolling Stones album. Always has been, always will be.

[edbermac]

21. Hot Rocks

Not a big fan, but that's a kickass compilation album.

[Arugula Latte]

23. Some Girls (unless I cheat and say Hot Rocks)
