You know, JKF - I'm surprised you scored an 80 on this quiz - not bad. B-

Noticing a trend here, MicknSteven?

It's pretty much incontrovertible that the grand slam that is Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers & Exile represent the apex of The Stones' output. Definitely get all 4.

As far as other material, I would suggest Hot Rocks - you won't end up with much overlap with the "Big 4" and you'll get all of the hits from the early days.
(If you feel like spending some loot, get the singles set [London Years] instead of Hot Rocks [although there's no Under My Thumb on the singles box])


Then, move on to Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You, Goat's Head Soup (in that order).

You're lucky, I wish I was just now discovering the Stones - so many hours of happy listening ahead of you.

LOL. Just like you. Trying to make this a test and completely disregard personal taste.

If you don't behave - you'll be cleaning erasers after class...

Cosmoprim is so right .I wish I was now discovering the Stones!!!

Otherwise my choice would be :

Beggar's banquet
Let it bleed
Sticky fingers
Exile on main street
Some girls

For live album :Get yer ya ya's out (obvious choice)

A+ for olympia...

the golden five

Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile On Main Street
Get Yer Ya Ya's Out

Well, hand over the pointy hat dude. :-D

JumpingKentFlash

you're not a model student, are you....

1)December's Children
2)Aftermath
3)Sticky Fingers
4)Tattoo You
5)Live Licks

The first 4 pick themselves. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main St. Most would reccomend Some Girls as the 5th and its wonderful of course, but I'd plug for Tattoo You. Make it 6 albums instead of 5!

Big Al - I'm willing to make an exception for you. TY is right on the fence, anyway. I will have to take the + off the grade, though. Solid A.

Come On - please resubmit your school work when your spacebar is working again. But, I will have to detract a half a grade.....

Youve already heard the 5 best, but also listen to Goats head soup, black n blue,between the buttons. They are sooooo good! Then you get all the rest.

Their Satanic Majestys Request
Dirty Work
Voodoo Lounge
Bridges to Babylon
Some Girls

reg - no mention of your own album? 'tween the 'ttons?

Thx for the mention StonesTod; it completely slipped my mind

no prob - remember if you're out 2nite, though, wear white....

This must be the correct listing of the top five Stones albums. How can one leave out a live album as Ya Yas, one of the best rockn'roll live albums in rock history? Of course it should be included.
