Their 'Mona Lisa'. The template for all guitar band wannabes.
Strong double album follow-up to 'Sticky Fingers' marred by slipshod studio production. Critics originally torched the set, now they overcompensate by gushing over it.
Another media dart board at the time. Savor it now for the twin-pronged guitar attack of Keith & Mick Taylor on a lazy, burnt-out romp.
Cleaned-up sound, guest musicians + strong songs = mid period comeback.
One of the great, overlooked albums. Band infighting generated dynamic, creative tension, inspired guest cameos & U2's Steve Lillywhite gave 'em new lease on life in the studio.
Stones at their most relaxed, a joy to listen to from start to finish.
Still holds up but always a bit overpraised. Their bestseller.
Fun, late period, eclectic collection of catchy tunes, no chartstoppers but band very loosey-goosey + good use of producers & bassists.
Panned as commercial sell-out from geriatric ward running on empty, yet re-invigorated band still SOUNDS better than ever, nonetheless.
All these ancient, London 60s classics pretty much played out by now so this last item really just a placeholder for any which you could easily make a case for.
