For me it's like comparing apples and pears. Both are fantastic. Why should you compare that? Everybody should know for themselves what they prefer.

Good post, Silver Dagger.
I feel Let it Bleed just edges Abbey Road, too.
I think Sticky Fingers and Who's Next are quite evenly matched, yet the former is just a teeny weeny bit weaker, for me. It's mightily close, though. Actually, 1971 is probably the year for landmark, 'classic rock' releases.
I suspect you're right regarding 1972. Aside from Dark Side of the Moon, I can't think, offhand, what other seminal releases there were.

Big Al, with all respect but I think you should stop comparing.
And start more enjoying.
May and probably be I'm totally wrong but can it be you compare so much because your ratio fights aginst your feelings?
You feelings say: Yes! These albums! My Stones! Your ratio says: Let us put those feelings in boxes and cases and categories.
Just rock and roll and let yourself free.
It's the Rolling Stones, not the Analysing Stones.
I have to give this advice myself from time time.

An overlooked gem from the era - CCR's "Cosmos Factory" - practically a greatest hits album ala "Thriller".

Quite right, a fantastic run (you could add "Music of My Mind). Have to mention Van Morrison's 5-disc string: Astral Weeks through St. Dominic's Preview (1968=72). Remember when bands put out a new disc every year? Now we get a live album and a Greatest Hits every 25 years....

Hi Al,
Dark Side Of The Moon was taken on the road by the Floyd in 72 but the album came out in 73.

Regarding 1972: is there no single album that, at least, runs Exile on Main Street close? I've just had a quick browse: I don't think there's a contender, actually.
