Just get Exile. That's all you need.Quote
southak
Thanks all. It seems 68-71 was a purple patch so I'll go for Let It Bleed, Beggars Banquet and Sticky Fingers and expand outwards from there.
It seems Tattoo You is a popular choice so maybe that too
You're right TaT it is difficult to pick just three!

********So guys & girls please recommend me three Rolling Stones albums that you think I shoudl start with*******
---
wow, that's a tough one. everybody would probably recommend different ones, since so many are 'recommendable.' you could really recommend three albums from each era lol. considering you liked Ladies & Gentlemen I would recomend Exile, though, since that was the Exile tour and you also get 2 albums fer 1. and Sticky Fingers. thirdly, probably Let It Bleed (or Beggars Banquet) take your pick. nobody ever made a 4 album run like that. nobody. ever.

Some Girls is painfully over-rated.
1. Sticky Fingers
2. Let It Bleed
3. Tattoo You.
When you're done with those, THEN get Exile on Main Street, not before.
Then get Goats Head Soup. Everything else is hit-or miss.

Hot Rocks
Brussels (live)
No Security (live)
Buy them all used cds from amazon. None of them are 'proper' studio releases, but you get to hear from their early 1960's stuff through the live versions of 4 tunes from their 2nd-to-last album Bridges. Heck, with YouTube nowadays, this is a pointless question: you can cue up any number of popular or rare RS songs, make your own playlists and listen for hours to whatever you want!! Then after listening to their stuff for a long time, if you need to have a physical copy of stuff, just aim for the 1968-1978 period when they were fun in the studio.

non-greatest hits, studio albums. I could go for any of the big four, but I'll try and pick the best from different eras.
1. Aftermath UK
2. Exile
3. Tattoo You

Dear southak,
As you will have realised by now, althoug visiting IORR is a MUST, after 5 pages filled by genuine band lovers, you will need to buy the Opus Completum.
This is what happens when regarding his children you ask a parent whom love the most.

Tattoo You
Sticky Fingers

If the rule is to offer so called studio albums, and not collections, live albums, etc. I think the following three albums would be good ones for a 'newbie' to learn the nature of the game:
(1) OUT OF OUR HEADS (US version, and definitively not the UK version): a great representation of early Stones; some big hits, including the signature hit "Satisfacion"; some great blues and soul covers, live cuts, etc.
(2) STICKY FINGERS: maybe the easiest to grasp of the 'big four' - the most professional album of the band ever; perfect readings of any given musical style; including the smash song "Brown Sugar" and a classic treasure like "Wild Horses".
(3) TATTOO YOU: the last great Rolling Stones album, which also nicely covers the feel of the mid/late 70's era; plus it offers maturity and depthness in many sense no other album does; includes "Start Me Up" and a gem like "Waiting On A Friend".
The next round would include AFTERMATH, BEGGARS BANQUET, and SOME GIRLS... and the person will conclude that 'wow, it is getting just better'... Then maybe s/he will ready for the next attack that is THE ROLLING STONES, LET IT BLEED, and at last but not at least, EXILE ON MAIN STREET...

Since I have quite a reputation for being a stones fanatic, the "recommend me a stones album" is a request I've heard many many times. My suggestions change depending on the minute I am asked (and the % of vodka in my blood).
Based on the feedback I've received, albums that ALWAYS impress newbies are
Tattoo, Exile, Some Girls, Made in the Shade, Black and Blue (incredible, but this is always a winner!), Beggars, Bleed and Hot Rocks.
Albums that surprisingly not always are well received are
Fingers, Soup, Aftermath, Ya Ya's
Albums that surprisingly receive more praises than I would expect are
Undercover, Bigger Bang and Buttons.
Albums that surpringly hardly ever impress the non believers are the early 60's (no. 1, Now and Heads above all) - I don't get it!
Albums that I love but I never dared suggesting are Satanic anc Dirty Works.

Well, my recomendation would be :
The first one (not the US Hitmakers, but the real one, UK First Rolling Stones)
The last one (A Bigger Bang)
And something there in between, like the Best one of them all: Sticky Fingers

Afternoon everyone.
On the way over to Dubai last week I saw a brilliant concert by The Rolling Stones called "Ladies & Gentlemen..." and it's brilliance reminded me a a gaping hole in my rock'n'roll CD collection - The Rolling Stones.
So guys & girls please recommend me three Rolling Stones albums that you think I shoudl start with to give me a stepping stone into the world of Mick & the boys.
Cheers,
Kevin.

I agree. I started off with this old 2LP Story of The Stones at 16 and within a year I had the entire back catalogue right up to Voodoo Lounge.

Okay, Rather than do the obvious I will say:
The Rolling Stones - This is a roots album great stuff wild album. Try and put yourself back in 1963-64 when listening and the listen to some other music from those years this is radically different.
More Hot Rocks - Has some great hits and some really good early tracks. I Can't Be Satisfied will show you just how adept the STones are on the blues
Exile On Main Street - For me the best album by the Stones. It is not very "commercial" and it showw the Stones exploring everything from rock, gospel, blues and country.
