Rolling Stones No 2. Perhaps because there's nothing flash about it - just great solid r'n'b showing the group working as one hell of a tight little unit. And taking the world is just around the corner.
I remember a list from Q magazine or the like of the 10 best sellers of the 60s. It was the best selling Stones album of the decade and on No. 10 or 9 amongst Beatles and CCR - records that had almost half a dozen singles on it. No.2 has only Off The Hook, b-side of Litle Red Rooster
What Beatles album had almost half a dozen singles on it? Certainly not a UK one.
He meant the Blue and RED one....

That was an 80's phenomenon. I think 'Come Together'/'Something' was the first Beatles single to be taken from an album that was already out. Usually, if a single was on an album, it was released BEFORE the album came out.

Love You Live. Much better than its reputation, imo.

'Between the Buttons'. I say that it is the most overlooked because IMO the ratio between quality and overlooked-ness is the biggest.
One thing (and I even see it in this very thread) is that the pre Banquet Stones are overlooked very much on this board.

No, I'll agree that IORR album is. There's a lot of people, me included, who have a fondness for Goats Head Soup and get into debates about it (coming after Exile and all that). And then Black and Blue gets a lot of debate on here regarding its merits. But between those two they did release an album called IORR that, to me, gets forgotten or passed up. Not to say there hasn't been discussions about it, it's just been, well, overlooked AND forgotten. Of all the major releases since, say, Aftermath, IORR is talked about the least. Terrific record, I thought.

Well some albums still included a couple of A sides (Please Please Me, A Hard Day's Night, Help!), but certainly not half a dozen.

"Overlooked"
"Forgotten"
These labels doesn't make much sense. It's like "overrated" - who rated them?
If albums are forgotten, then they probably deserve it; in the homes of the people who forgot them.

You thought IORR was terrific? Why? Not so much disagreeing as curious to hear what you liked most about it.
