"Some Girls the Stones Greatest Album"
Nah the songwriting is totally basic, not to say neanderthalian... I-IV-V chord progression all over the record. None of the SG tracks have the complexity of 68-72 songs.
SG is a very good album because the Stones are talented people but I much prefer BB LIB or SF.

assuming a bands album must be the best because it sells the most is wrong.
sales do not always equate to quality, other factors have to be taken into consideration.
heres an example.
liverpool fc most succesfull season was 1983-84 they won league cup, league championship and european cup.
was it their biggest season in terms of ticket sales, no it wasnt, in fact it was their 2nd worst post war average attendance figure at just over 31.000 average per match, consider that is over 20,000 less than todays average, and over 40,000 less than man utds average today, proves other factors need to be considered.

I didn't say they weren't good on it, Dandy! Lies, Respectable, Shattered may have some punk connotations though. Or maybe it was just the clothing?

Love the punk/I-V-sound of Far Away Eyes, Beast Of Burden, Miss You, Lies and Shattered...

Lies is «bloody Status Quo» (as Stu said ). Shattered has some new wave/Skah-ish feel to it (the latter music form was picked up by the punks, so... But I doubt that this is what people are talking about when they say SG is punk. But I could be wrong).

I think for Stu there was no difference between Status Quo and punk: elementary rock without a groove. Although I think Lies is a little bit better than that (but clearly the weakest point of SG, as is Hang Fire on TY and Where The Boys Go and Summer Romance on ER).

Dudes, Indian Girl, apart from it being my good friends favourite.

Mike, I know Let It Bleed is your favourite (and it's one of my faves, too), but let's dig a little deeper into this
Gimmie Shelter vs Sympathy For The Devil
Love In Vain vs No Expectations
Midnight Rambler vs Street Fighting Man
You Got The Silver vs Prodigal Son
Monkey Man vs Stray Cat Blues
You Can't Always Get What You Want vs Salt Of The Earth
And Beggars Banquet has 10 songs, whereas Let It Bleed has 9.
There is something freaky and uncontrollable about the overall vibe on Beggars Banquet that we only get glimpses of on Let It Bleed (Gimmie Shelter and Midnight Rambler).
I love Let It Bleed dearly, but I'll have to give Beggars Banquet the nod here.
Just my 0.02...

Some Girls isn't their greatest album, but then nor is Beggars Banquet, as that is let down by Dear Doctor.
It would have to be either Sticky Fingers, or Exile On Main Street - my personal favourite is Goats Head Soup though.

That is exactly what this always boils down to: Our personal favourites

And so it should. There could be some that feel Dirty Work is a personal favourite - I used to listen to it a great deal at university. Or Undercover, possibly, due to the videos of She Was Hot, Too Much Blood, and the title track.
What matters is the fact that Mick and Keith work together as The Rolling Stones, and that Charlie and Ronnie provide a certain je ne sais quoi.
Steve Jump (RIP) used to tell me "Every Stones album has something of quality on it". I'd agree with him on that.
