Let it Bleed Get Yer Ya Ya's Out Sticky Fingers Beggars Banquet Exile
NEWER STONES
Some Girls Tattoo You Dirty Cover (Best of Undercover and Dirty Work to make one strong one)
NEWEST STONES
A Bigger Bang (including the 2 extra tracks from the DVD) MB's Custom Album (Take B2B, VL, and SW and make one KICK ASS 80 min CD out of the best of them)
1/ Some Girls........still sounds current even in 2006 2/ Wandering Spirit.......in case you thought Some Girls (dominated by Mick) was a fluke you were really wrong...... 3/ Ya Ya's........is there a more perfect performance on record...????? 4/Exile....Keith's masterpiece.........and for all the hidden gems...... 5/Licks............cause you can't have more than 5 on the island so grab as much as you can
I got Gazza's top 7 also (why doesn't everybody have this list???, LOL) Exile, Some Girls,YaYas, Sticky, LIB with the next 2: Beggars, Tattoo In order I would go SF, LIB, SG with Exile and YaYas being unique and not really directly comparable. EOMS aimed to be something different and succeeded brilliantly. And in general I don't think we should compare live to studio albums but this is so great it can't be omited. (I do leave out compilations) Beggars is great but was just plain outdone by LIB, and Tattoo is great but it just has that lack of cohesiveness coming thru that keeps it from being one of the greatest. My next 2 would be Emotional Rescue and Steel Wheels which lots would have on their bottom. But after the top several I think we all have our personal favorites based on personal reasons or the song mix appealed to the Stones genre we personally favor.
Yeah - mine are pretty well as most have stated, and they're all early cos I stopped listening (that's another story elsewhere here) Sticky Fingers Let it Bleed Exile on Main Street Get yer Ya Ya's out ... and Black & Blue ... love that one, funky and different

exile ya-yas sticky some girls goats head aaaargh!!! i can't pick just 5; i can't even pick my top 10! let it bleed, beggars, black and blue, stripped, tattoo you, etc.
I can't believe I forgot STEEL WHEELS, which I think is so under-rated. I would replace TATTOO YOU with STEEL WHEELS and move everything down one spot. I notice very few of you mentioned Steel Wheels; do you hate it or did you simply forget to list it? Just curious.
