IMO Some Girls is way overrated .I think Tatoo You, Bridges to Babylon, Between the Buttons, Goats Head Soup and Voodoo Lounge are better

Something else, where I otherwise would have needed approximately 12 albums, not any longer with internal ranking,
instead the albums that made me a fan!
1. The German Decca compilation album of the first two EPs ( minus one song), plus a couple of singles
AROUND AND AROUND
2. THE ROLLING STONES (UK).
3. To quite some extent, but still not as much as the two first mentionned,
THE ROLLING STONES, vol 2 (UK) ( Side A better than side B )
4. The available US-version of OUT OF OUR HEADS.
5. AFTERMATH (UK) (obviously great).
In addition, the magical singles with both their A- and B-sides from, although a couple for me on an album, from "The Last Time" / "Play with Fire" and upwards made an impact on me as much as the albums,
but then came the very decisive album in making me a fan in a drawn out process over a couple of years, by showing me that the Rolling Stones were able to appeal to me in various more ways than one or two, consequently for me personally the highly important album.
6. BETWEEN THE BUTTONS (UK)
Then I was even more ready than before for the continuation!
That's a great relief ... I'm not alone

I didn't know anything about the Rolling Stones, but you couldn't miss them and the buzz they created on their 1972 tour, even as a 14-year-old. So ABKCO cashed in and released Hot Rocks. What an amazing introduction to the Rolling Stones.
So then I bought the Big Five. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, GYYYO, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. Yes, you have to include GYYYO in that run of albums.
Then a few decent albums but not with the impact of the final biggie, Some Girls. It was such a new sound and it really resonated within me just like the "old days." The big "come back" album. Seeing them that summer of 1978 was the most "rock and roll" experience that I ever had in my life.
The BIG SEVEN:
Hot Rocks
Beggars Banquet
Let it Bleed
GYYYO
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street
Some Girls
And an honourable mention for the film Gimme Shelter. I am convinced that that movie spawned 10,000 garage bands.
The Big Seven "live inside of me," and I assume for many of you reading it's a similar thing.
