You're exactly right...but my little game here was never a SERIOUS proposal!
really? you mean this was never really going to happen???? WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you worry Stonesdan, you're not alone. I've been listening to a couple of different versions of Exile for a few years now, most of which got put on a version of Sticky Fingers. Both a very interesting listen. Of course nothing will ever replace the albums as we know them, but it is fun to trim one down and beef one up. It's still a great listen. Hell, I even made a version of one with the bottoms (original song recordings) that were done in France only, which I've called Exile In France. It has Plundered and Signifying on it as well as a few missing from the actual album. Even that is interesting.
Completely agree. People say the same about the White but it is much easier, (for me), to identify fillers on that. Case in point - Casino Boogie may not be a Stones classic as such but sets you up perfectly for Tumbling Dice, ditto I Just Wanna See His face before Let It Loose.
Yes, I get it...sorry to have upset the apple cart.
CD format = a crime against humanity... well at least album art.

I think Pass The Wine, I'm Not Signifying and Title 5 have the Exile vibe. Throw in the "Exile On Main Street" ditty on the free NME single and you've just about got one side of the third disc. Running order: Exile On Main Street, Pass The Wine, Plundered My Soul, I'm Not Signifying & Title 5.
OK, thanks for your contribution RebelRebel you hot tramp...we still are short 5 songs though. Anyone?

Yes, let's settle for only 50% of one of the greatest albums anyone ever produced in rock & roll. Brilliant.
Ya kinda missed my point. I'm totally opposed to taking ANYTHING away from Exile. I was just wondering just for fun, what tracks people would choose if they HAD to whittle it down to a single LP length. Just curious what people's faves were. I would never propose actually DOING such a thing to Exile. It's perfect as is!
I know, but cutting Exile in half misses the point of Exile. It is a "vibe" album, as was stated above.

EXILE ON MAIN STREET is primarily a vibe, as opposed to just really great individual songs. The songs in a sense fit together like a jigsaw, and when any number are taken away, the album begins to lose its unique spirit. Some songs can be considered great, perhaps, on their own terms in a more conventional sense - eg, 'Tumbling Dice', 'Happy' etc, while others display a less commercially accessible approach like 'Casino Boogie', I Just Want To See His Face', and 'Ventilator Blues', yet in a sense they are all equally vital to contributing to EXILE'S greatness. To truly appreciate the greatness of EXILE it really is best not to judge the individual tracks in terms of how conventionally well they stand up as songs, because that's not really what EXILE is all about. I find the sentiment within the title of this thread severely misguided.[/[/u]quote]
Geez already! Can anybody get that this was sort of a joke...a game...a hypothetical "what if" just for fun?

The White Album can easily be reduced to a single album, but not Exile. The suggestions above show it. The sketch-like magical tracks like Shake Your Hips and Just Want to See Your Face are gone - I think the result would be that Exile wouldn't have been seen as one of the big four. The greatness og Exile is primarily the overwhelming totallity, and not the singular tracks. BB, LIB and SF are stronger according to standout tracks. And Exile would be judge on that if it was reduced. If the meat was cut and only the bones were left.

I think the better way to approach it would be to try and create Exile as a triple LP, including songs that wouldn't diminish the original vibe.
Can you insert any of the exile deluxe cuts in there without blasphemy?
ie, Plundered My Soul seems like a no-brainer, but Following The River would be a mistake. Are there 9 other songs that would do it?

If we are going to re-write Stones history: Tumbling Dice and Happy as a doub;e A-side single off the album and released a few months before the album ala HTW and JJF. Then release the unreleased live album with those tracks added after the tour. That leaves room to pur Soul Survivor back onto the album.

It's been a single disc since 1987, hasn't it?

GREAT call, Dan! In fact, I was planning to "gut" "Exile" too,
but ya beat me to it! Now ... since it's been released in a
"Deluxe Edition", I'm not touching that; the original release only.
In deference to the relative track differences between this
and "The White Album", I'm limiting my version to 10 tracks.
YiKES.
Therefore, I present to you, "Exile on Main Street, GUTTED":
"Rocks Off"
"Rip This Joint"
"Hip Shake"
"Sweet Virginia"
"Happy"
"Turd on the Run"
"Ventilator Blues"
"All Down the Line"
"Stop Breaking Down"
"Shine a Light"
((( Dodges tomatoes and empty beer cans )))
