Their 'Mona Lisa'. The template for all guitar band wannabes.
Strong double album follow-up to 'Sticky Fingers' marred by slipshod studio production. The press originally torched the set, now they overcompensate by gushing over it.
Another media dart board at the time! Dig it now for the twin-pronged guitar attack of Keith & Mick Taylor on lazy, burnt-out romp.
Cleaned-up sound, guest musicians + strong songs = mid period comeback.
One of the swept under the carpet albums. Band infighting generated dynamic, creative tension, inspired guest cameos (Mick Taylor among others) & U2's Steve Lillywhite gave 'em new lease on life in the studio - big, bold.
Stones at their most relaxed, what a refresh.
Still holds up but always a bit overpraised. Their bestseller. The pink vinyl 12-inch "Miss You" not to be forgotten.
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. "Blue & Lonesome", a late entry deserves honorable mention but not including covers albums.
