+1 on that one; Exile on Main St. and Beggars Banquet comes close though.

Those two other albums you just mentioned are right next to it.
If we could have choosen three albums, they would have been it.

* You certainly know your Rolling Stones stuff.

The Rolling Stones are a funny band because I think Exile on Main St. is not only their greatest/rawest achievement but also one of the greatest albums of all-time -- and yet most people (or at least, most people approx. my age (22)) who think they know the Stones don't know a single track off the album. None of the 18 tracks are very famous.

Sticky Fingers is a very close second, a tremendous album, and the somewhat underrated Beggar's Banquet is a very solid third. "B*tch" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Sister Morphine" and "Brown Sugar" (I usually don't like the Stones' most famous songs as much as their lesser famous ones...but this one is GREAT!!) on Sticky Fingers are incredible. I'm also quite fond of Aftermath (biggest hidden gem in the Stones' discography = I Am Waiting?).

Let It Bleed is a little too country for me, but it has several great ones (again, including some of the less obvious tracks such as "Monkey Man" and "Country Honk").

Start Me Up, Little T&A, Waiting On A Friend gets my first place



Then again a very close second by only a hair, (and NOT listed in the poll except as "OTHER")

Well, I'm in a different age bracket than you, but I fully agree with you about "Exile on main Street".

* Personally I've choosen "Let It Bleed", but it was a hard call exactly because of "Exile..."; for the main reason that it has a very strong and fond memory that was very unique in my life at that time.
Sometimes in music like in movies it's not always the best that have a strong imprint on us, but specially the fond memory of where we were at that particular time in our lifes and the emotions that were the results of that time period.
It is at this emotional level that we make the choices in our personal life preferences today.

...And it isn't what Music & Movies are all about?

[Morrissey]

Because it has live recordings from the El Mocambo Club in Toronto.

[Crimson King]

Sticky Fingers

[Belloche]

Exile on Main Street. Sweet Virginia and Tumbling Dice are my 2 favorite Stones tracks.

[rick88]

I voted for Some Girls.

To go a little farther:
Favorite Stones Song - Honky Tonk Woman

UK Daily Mail Feature

The Stones on the Stones: Half a century after their first gig, the most famous band in the world tell their amazing rock 'n' roll story

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ell-story.html

"On July 12, 1962, former school mates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, along with their friend Brian Jones, started a remarkable chapter in the history of rock - with the first ever gig by a group called The Rolling Stones at the legendary Marquee Club in London.

Here, on the eve of their 50th anniversary, broadcaster Paul Sexton presents the never-before-published recollections of the stars themselves - on the mayhem, the madness, the girls, the drug busts and, of course, the five epic decades of music that changed the world for ever . . . "

at the moment, and have been awhile - undercover - great dirty tracks...

[EdDave]

Their Satanic Majesties Request or Let It Bleed.

Had a tough time choosing between 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile', but went with 'Sticky Fingers'.

This is why I call 'Exile on Main St.' the "secret handshake album" for Rolling Stones fans.
