His rock and roll debauchery tales weren’t very interesting! It was how he wrote about playing an instrument that caught me. Those passages resonated with the musician part of me. It never made me want to listen to an album of theirs though.

Let It Bleed is well worth a go. As is Sticky Fingers.

#28

Great tune, but from memory I don’t think it’s the Stones playing on it. Mick on vocals of course but I think he had to provide it for the ‘Performance’ soundtrack and ended up doing it with session musicians (Ry Cooder maybe).
Agree on the albums being patchy. The Singles Collection is superb, as is Hot Rocks.

Can’t you hear me knocking is just impossibly good - so much swagger

I’d have to say the say The Best of Exile on Main Street. Don’t really think they’ve made any other solid classic albums. Too much filler on stuff like Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed. This and Tumbling Dice are the best songs they ever recorded. Loose as fuck.

Toss up between Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile. The two either side of that run are pretty damned good too.

Just read that Their Satanic Majesties Request is getting a 50th anniversary special edition?! I’m not sure how they’re justifying that, but hopefully it’ll mean fancy versions of Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed are on their way too.

If that means a nice remaster of She’s A Rainbow I’m all for it.

I can’t really choose between those three - all stone-cold classics.

Beggars Banquet is great, but not quite up there with Bleed, Fingers and Exile.

I’ve said it before but I like this album (the UK version). It’s mostly covers but they’re actually quite memorable and easy to enjoy. It also ends very nicely with ‘I’m Free’.

I don’t think it’s on Spotify though, which is a bum.

Satanic Majesties Request for me. Mostly because it’s the only I’ve listened to much.

#45

Let it bleed
