I am sure many others will disagree but I think their best music was from the Brian era.

Beyond compare as far as I'm concerned, the were just so much more interesting and cool before they turned into a comedy country rock band with noodly guitar.

The Brian Era was great, but please, he had little or nothing to do with Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, or Brown Sugar, the apex of Stone's singles.

Well, he performs on Jumpin’ Jack Flash and is fairly visible in that song’s promo videos! The latter two, yeah.
The Stones were predominantly a singles-act during the Brian-era. It’s at least what that era will, and is, remembered for: The Last Time, Satisfaction, Paint it, Black...
The Brian-era is synonymous with swinging London and the cultural evolution that was the 1960’s. If they’d have split after Jumpin’ Jack Flash, they’d still be so highly regarded and revered. They made better albums after his passing - well, not all of them! - but it was during his tenure when they mattered to the younger generation the most.

And as much as I love Brian, he was totally the wrong guitar player for what they became in the Jimmy Miller era. The band reached it's Zenith in '72, with Exile and the American Tour. That's when they topped the rock world, with the Beatles disbanded, and Exile selling like hotcakes. I still remember a belt high stack of Exiles albums next to an equal stack of Hot Rocks next to it. I think the '72 Stones mattered most to a crowd that grew up with them, and a whole new generation of young people.
