A bit of classic Rock for a Thursday evening

Legends!!!

Yeah, quality band in their pomp. I'm surprised to see a re-release of Exile on Main street get to number 1 though. Exile on Main Street is a quality album and deserves a lot of respect, but strange how it has caught on in 2010. Has there been a lot of publicity for it or something? Even if so, I still find it a bit weird. Happy is probably one of the weaker tracks on it IMO.

Away from EOMS, I love Gimme Shelter. Brilliant track.

Yeh Exile getting to number 1 was impressive. I don't think there were any other major releases that week though.

How about expanding this thread? What about some Rolling Stones top 5 albums/tracks?

Go for it mate - I'm sure your knowledge of The Stones is better than mine, as you know I am a Beatles anorak, only recently got into The Stones.

Damn, I have been called away for dinner. I will add a list later on.

1. Sticky Fingers
2. Exile on Main Street
3. Beggars Banquet
4. Let it bleed
5. Aftermath

That's my list. Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers are The Stones at their peak for me. Some really stong mid to late 60's albums too. The Stones albums after Sticky Fingers aren't that bad, but a case of repeating the formula with diminishing returns for me. A lot of strong tracks all through their career though. Stay away from their solo albums.
