My top 10 !

1 - Exile on Main Street
2 - Sticky Fingers
3 - Let it Bleed
4 - Beggars Banquet
5 - Some Girls
6 - Voodoo Lounge
7 - The Rolling Stones
8 - Out of our heads
9 - Steel Wheels
10 - It´s only Rock and Roll

Kinda funny to say 'Official" and then limit it to UK albums isn't it? If you add the US, German, Italian, French, South American markets and album sales in these markets then I would consider it 'Official'.

I went with Doxa's standard. I have no problem with approaching the UK releases for a British band as the definitive catalog.

...You speak of markets & sales, jjflash73 - but I think Doxa made this 'ranking' from the heart... Not saleswise.

If an album has such an awful starter song, the best I can allow is #8. (In, fact - I was just about to shift its position with TATTOO YOU - it is very tie. Here might come some alterations...)

- Doxa

I like many of the albums after 1973. But I think in terms of historical value, the '60s albums will be the ones that are listened to decades from now--including the early days. Out of Our Heads I think will tell a new listener in the year 2100 more about what rock music was about than, say, Some Girls.

Shit, I just made "search" and seemingly I almost always write it as "SOAP"... So it is GOATS HEAD SOAP from now on as far as I am concerned!><

Ha ha. Didn't look past the soap!

Doxa, I can't help it if you can't get the genius of the Stones putting Dancing With Mr D as the LP opener. If you listen to the track and look at the album, all that yellow, it makes sense.

Then how is it 'official'? By using the word 'official' you project the idea that it is calculated and based on facts. I guess if your guidelines are 'official opinion' then ok..its all good fun. No worries.

Yeah-yeah... it's the same genious who put the "Sing This Altogther" as an album opener to go with the album cover... makes perhaps conceptual sense, but shit is shit no matter how cooked... or soaped..

- Doxa

Undercover and Black and Blue should be higher, Between the buttons and Goats Head soup should be lower.

Yeah, I just tried to be funny or sarcastic or whatever... it's all opinion (even though I try to be 'objective' some how - it is not solely the list of personal preferance but based on its significance, etc.).
