Doctor Robert and Dead Flowers aren't masterpieces, imo.
Seriously! Lennons take on the drugdealer-doctor is almost above a masterpiece with it's odd song-construction...and Dead Flower..pretty boring to play but very attractive to listen to...
I like both, for different reasons, but I must admit I think they both pale in comparison with their companion songs on those albums.
Doctor Robert, a masterpiece? Well, to each his own...

I love ALL the songs on side A dearly, but the only true masterpieces on that side are SMU and Slave, imo. The rest is "only" great

How do you define a masterpiece though?
Next to say, groundbreaking works like Ruby Tuesday, Sympathy For The Devil or Gimme Shelter is SMU really a masterpiece or a solid piece of Stones' songwriting craft hewn from the same rock as Respectable or When The Whip Comes Down. Just asking!

A song you can listen to 10 times in a row wondering "wtf happens here?"
SFTD is one of these songs as is GS, Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile", Dylan's "Hard Rain", and Led Zep's 'Hot Dog" (nope this one!)
Now I wonder if the 80's the 90's or the 00's produced songs with such an immediate impact on the listener :
I'd say "No Speak No Slave" (1992) but this one has an unpleasant retro/Exile pt.II feel that I cannot include it.
No such thing, If anyone thinks there is they are minimizing the word classic.Quote

We've been debating the last classic Stones album, and someone made the comment that a classic album requires every song on the album be a classic. I tend to disagree...
...but it raises a question that I don't know has been debated here: albums from the rock'n'roll era where EVERY song is a classic/masterpiece.
I'll start off with a couple of ideas:
Springsteen - Born to Run
Stones - Sticky Fingers

Every song is a Masterpiece? - Ok here it goes:
