I find it impossible to put together a "definitive Stones" collection, in the typical way. Just compiling their "big hits" taking everything out of it's context and era, and becomes a tiresome listen, for me. The best RS compilation for me, would just be a snapshot of their catalogue - a couple of random tunes, but they have to come from the same era. In fact I'll just put on Flowers immediately

You make a good point here. That's why I was rather let down when the 40 Licks set came out. I had heard talk of a career spanning anthology, I expected hits but was hoping for the inclusion of their great non-singles album cuts as well. Of course what we got was just a singles collection.
