I've never heard anything from Talk Is Cheap....but otherwise I've got the albums.

Tops, quit making CDRs (although it is a good one) and go and get "Talk is Cheap" right now. Listen five times, then check in again next morning.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

By quite some distance, the best two are Continental Drift and Laugh, I Nearly Died

Had it with you

"Thief In The Night"
"How Can I Stop"
"Fancy Man Blues"
"Harlem Shuffle (NY Mix)" (or is it London? The one on "Collectibles" is so hot)
"The Storm"
"Moon Is Up"
"Back of My Hand"
"Rough Justice"
"Had It With You"
"Too Rude" (Winos live is better than Stones)
"Locked Away"
"It Means A Lot"
"Runnin' Too Deep"
"Not Fade Away"
"I'm Free"
"Evening Gown"
"Out of Control"
"Hang On To Me Tonight"
"Out of Focus"
"She Was Hot"
"Might As Well Get Juiced"
"Hide Away"
"Handsome Molly"
"Whadd'ya Think" (Woody)
"Rain Fall Down"
"Can't You Hear Me Knockin'(live)"
"Happy(live)"
"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love(live)"
"Factory Girl(live)"
"Time Is On My Side(live)"
"Let Me Down Slow"
"Little Baby"
"Jump On Top Of Me"

That's just off the top of my head. Take the last twenty-five years of the Stones and boil it down to a two-disc compliation and it would be stronger than virtually anyone else out there over the same timespan. Take that, all you wiseass critics...

Out of Control
Rough Justice
The Worst
Back Of My Hand
Oh No Not You Again
New Faces
Brand New Car
Streets of Love
Infamy
This Place is Empty
Stealing My Heart
Don't Stop.

all the way down
brand new car
i go wild
break the spell
almost hear you sigh
she was hot
too tough
pain of love
might as well get juiced

Guess nobody else likes Hold On To Your Hat or Blinded By Rainbows.

"Blinded By Rainbows" is another misguided attempt at political/social commentary, but "Hold On To Your Hat" smokes and burns. I love it and can't figure out why all the lunkheads who are raving about garbage like "Driving Too Fast" seem not to like "Hold On..."

Blinded By Rainbows is on of the 4 or 5 more successful songs on Voodoo.

You have a very good point Reverend.

I love SW album but always thought 'Hat' was just a bit obvious and cliched. Great approach and playing however.

Put it on ABB and it would be that album's outstanding (rockin') track!
