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
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"
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"!
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).

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