the blues purist years 1962 to early 1965,or the english pop mid 65 to mid 67,the flower power of We love you/dandelion and T.S.M.R. or the country blues and ground breaking rock of the 68/69 era

The Belle Epoque - 68 - 72

yes

Agree with Cindy on this one, might not describe Exiles as 'Belle' tho.

I;m waiting on the exile era to post I;m really reluctant to talk about exile ,what can I say or anybody else say on that subject that hasn;t been said,I would love teenagers reveview of Exile just to hear what they think PS I,m currently listening to Englands Newest Hitmakers for Brain!!

you mean Brian? hehehe

oh yeah for Brian,I must have brain cells on my mind???????

the 'ABB' era is my favourite currently

keefed I like that thats a Mick reply all the way

My favoritte Stones era is 1962 - 2006

Iam with you RadioMarv. ill think 2006-2016 will be great too.

I like it all also 62/06 but clearly fans have their favorite era ,I like Dirty Work better than Exile somedays,depends on whats happening at that moment I could go on and on but I wont ,I can go through the whole catalog.all I hear is 68/72--68//////72--68/72 neglecting 35 plus years of music

My favorite years of the band must be from '68 - '78. Ten years of greate rock'n roll, not leaving any of the three "second" guitar players out
They made their coolest records within these years, and were the hottest live band.

of course, with 78-81 being a clsoe runner-up.

The only day I prefer Dirty Work before Exil will be the day someone force me to eat sushi if I say otherwise

The late 1800's for the Romantic Poets

Stoneswise I'd traverse two 'periods' & go for '65 -'71

S.T.P. is right except, I would say 68 to 81 is the stuff most people buy Beggars to Tattoo!!!!

Dirty Work was the first album I bought on release day ,at the time I had E.R.,Hot rocks,Let it bleed ,Rewind and Dirty work ,and I went from there

1968-1983

1965-73

I'd say from the Stones first self penned no1 single The Last Time through to Goats Head Soup and the 73 European Tour.

The Stones run of
great singles during the sixties is incredible and should never be overlooked. I only wish the Stones would be a little more willing to perform the songs from this period.

I hear you

The golden years was from 64 to 74 for me.
Still rocking.

'67 - '72

78 to 83
Some Girls to Undercover

I don't like a specific era.

I love Some Girls and I love Tattoo You, but I don't like Emotional Rescue at all.

I believe the 78 to 83 era is the era to put on younger people ,then if they can handle that Sticky Fingers next,etc..........

1978-1982

I think the thread got off topic from the original question. Was the question not about the 60's only?

For me 68-69.

I hope it's not only Stones because we've dozen of these topics
