And surprisingly few arsey comments from Guardian readers BTL. The Stones usually bring them flocking out...
Here's another lengthy one from the Telegraph....

"38. So much of what the Stones did between 1968 and 1972 is perfect, and one might just as well list all the tracks from that era (except Stray Cat Blues) and be done with it. But we have to pick and choose, so go and listen to Moonlight Mile, where his imperfection is perfect."
Hey! I love Stray Cat Blues!
If you must omit one song from those four albums, Country Honk is the obvious choice.
I often just imagine Let It Bleed with Honky-Tonk Women.

Had they released a couple of singles off LIB, let's say HTW, and Gimme Shelter (b/w Country Honk) and left Country Honk off the album with HTW in it's place you may have THE album of 1969 and possibly the peak of the big 4.
You could argue the same about Beggars Banquet if they included Jumping Jack FlashQuote

I've thought about that as well, in terms of this unbelievable album released without a single (I know, that happened by design but not every album...ie Street Fighting Man, She's A Rainbow, Let's Spend The Night Together - all US, but still)...and the fact they had THE single in HTW (I know, already on TTPD -
sort of like adding Don't Stop to 40 Licks).

And I like Country Honk, but it's not HTW.
