The Rolling Stones have come up with some great names for their albums;Their Satanic Masjestic Resquest, Beggars Banquet, Exile on Main Street, It's Only Rock and Roll, Get yer ya-ya's out! etc... but my favorite is Sticky Fingers. I like the sound of those two words together and also the nasty connotation of the term. For that record it seems that the Stones scored high in every category;the music, the name, the cover, the logo; everything is just @#$%& great!!
Rock and Roll,
Mops

Flowers

Just kidding. Definitely Sticky Fingers for the same reasons you write above.
Beggars Banquet as well - it is like a musical feast.

My selection is "Exile on Main Street" -seems to be a timeless reference.

Goat's Head Soup...sounds so yummy

Goats Head Soup

Exile On Main Street

Stripped

some girls, if only there were a few more

This is certainly one area where they have excelled. I can't really pick a favorite, there are so many! The only iffy ones for me are Goat's Head Soup & Bridges to Babylon. We haven't had to suffer thru album titles like III or IV or one with too many words or even a "Greatest Hits"

...Sticky Fingers for it's balls out boldness, Beggars Banquet, Some Girls and Emotional Rescue are genius examples of irony....

Although Voodoo Lounge is a close second - I love it is named after a cat.

their first Album--no title on front cover

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Exile On Main Street, though up to a year or two after it's release, I had lost count of the number of times that I had seen it mis-quoted as "Exiles"!

definitely Exile On Main Street

1) Exile on Main Street

2) Beggars Banquet

3) Goat's Head Soup

Many other good ones though...

"Take all the pain...It's yours anyway"

More Fast Numbers was generally a good one...
No seriously, I think Tattoo You was even 15 years ahead of its time...

Lots of good ones: EOMS, LIB, BB, Some Girls, GHS

"Satanic Majesties" seems a little juvenile though...ABB missed as well.

Goat's Head Soup. Funny and a little sick. Just like the boys. Just like their fans.

Agreed!



"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

First Let It Bleed but Get yer ya-ya's out! is a good two too

__________________________

It's a tie between Some Girls and Exile On Main St. for me. I also like Bridges to Babylon ... just rolls off the tongue (no pun intended).

Worst album title, it's a tie between Tattoo You and Steel Wheels. A bigger bang is a pretty crappy title too (Charlie said basically the same thing, but that he liked it more when Mick explained to him what it meant - whatever that is).

<< A bigger bang is a pretty crappy title too (Charlie said basically the same thing, but that he liked it more when Mick explained to him what it meant - whatever that is). <<

Terrible title...Worse cover.

Their Satanic Majesties Request sounds like something Spinal Tap would come up with. But GREAT cover.

71Tele, agreed on all points!

Just one?

Hmmm. Today it's Undercover.

But what, they have so many.

Aftermath - horrible cover.
Beggars Banquet - I do like the original cover ie original release as well
Let It Bleed - Not big on album titles after a song but this one is too cool
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! - Supreme, always will be
Sticky Fingers - One of two possible names for what became Let It Bleed, awesome
Exile On Main Street - it just sounds good
Goats Head Soup - Bizarre, brilliant - although I like the cover, it sucks
Some Girls - another song title but brilliant cover.
Emotional Rescue - ANOTHER song title. Whacked cover
Tattoo You - Love it. Best cover - front and back
Voodoo Lounge - Great album title, goofy cover - makes no sense

It's too bad ABKCO didn't reissue Beggars with both covers.

Out Of Our Heads
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Voodoo Lounge
Stripped

- and Dirty Work is a great title - pity some of the contents didn't live up to it.

Aftermath - horrible cover.

The UK cover is bad, but the US version is GREAT...


(I'm sure even those who prefer the UK album agree that the US Aftermath has a superior cover )

December's Children (And Everybody's).

No that would rank as one of the weirdest. Sticky Fingers, it fits with the music and it sounds dirty and bold.

You got the Sun, You got the Moon,
and you've got
The Rolling Stones

Get Yer Ya Yas Out

"It's only Rock'n' Roll" because that's what it is !

but "The Rolling Stones" have the best cover ever,
and now I know the title is NOT "Decca" as I tought then...
