Ahhh.... 1965, the Year of the Snake ! "Charming and seductive...."

1964 - when they were exciting to watch with the original line-up meant for the band, and a whole new style compared to what else was going on.

2006, and counting!!!

1981. Their last commercial and artistic peak and their last full year as a working band creating viable music.

Everything went down hill after this year. So many thoughts of what could have been, ruined by the rest of the 80's.

1978 Some girls, the 'Respectable' video coming on TV..listening to Mick on Radio talking about Kieths possible jail sentence etc - great year and the Stones were one of the few bands who could take my focus off of the Punk rock scene.

I'll have to agree with Potted Shrimp and say 1972 and it was indeed the tour behind their BEST album! It was my virgin year too so it holds special significance and I can tell you, the excitement level that summer of '72 was explosive at my house! The first time I ever saw the Stones live was July of '72 in Boston and it seemed the Stones were on every magazine cover, every tv show from Cavitt to late night news, and every celeb wanted to be photographed with them! The Toast of Every Town they certainly were! My second favorite was the '75 tour, it had the same excitement level, in my home and the nation!

Any year they decide to tour

'72

My favorite year was the 99 No Security Tour!

...'68 to '73 - but if it has to be one year only, 1972...



cheers - crash

Every year I get to see the Stones is my favorite year

89,94,98,99,02,03,05,06


all good years,
86 would have been a good one as well if there had been a Dirty Work tour. I was a teen and DYING to see them, but had to wait to 89.


it was worth the wait

For me, '89 because that's the first time that I saw them and for the Stones musically, it would have to be '68. The Jumpin' Jack Flash single and Beggars Banquet were the start of some really great rock 'n' roll by this band IMO.

For me personally it would be either '89 (my first show) or '99 (saw 'em 5 times).

Overall, though, it has to be '72. They were at their peak in every way.

'69 was the most interesting year - Mick gets busted, Brian gets booted, Mick T. joins, Brian dies, Let It Bleed, the '69 tour, and Altamont. Damn!

1987 When Primitive Cool was released. Man that was awesome. NOT
