I'd say that Their Satanic Majesties Request is very psychedelic and quite experimental for 1967 being. Neither do I think of Sticky Fingers as just straight ahead Rock. - That's the two albums I'm most familiar with.  |

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Overplayed even on prog radio in the 70s, the Stones got on my nerves back then, especially certain songs that went on way too long like "You can't always get what you want" and "Gimme Shelter", but now I acknowledge they have some great songs, quite a few actually, and I would choose to hear Stones over Beatles in general. More oomph. I don't really know their albums though. Some of my fave tracks are
Satisfaction Baby Jane (is that right?) Angie Wild Horses Miss You Ruby Tuesday Beast of Burden Brown Sugar Paint it Black

I prefer the Beatles but I really like the Stones. Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet and Sticky Fingers are my favorite but I really enjoy Aftermath, Exile on Main Street and Their Satanic Majesties Request too.

If we take away the glitz and glamour surrounding them, I would describe them as musically a pub-rock band of songs rather than an album band. So, my favourite 7-inch single by The Rolling Stones actually comes from the nowadays underrated, yet musically eclectic and great album Black and Blue.

I see where you're going, but Satanic feels forced, IMHO. They thought they had top answer Sgt Pepper, but it's not "THEM". As for SF, there is a fair bit of country rock in there, but it's still mainstream rock

let's just stay above the moral melee

^ There's a quality touch there, put by Mick Taylor and Ry Cooder, that I really like.

I like them, but i prefer their psychedelic period (200,000 light years from home)

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I think that a good characterization of Sticky Fingers will be as "brilliant and very honest Roots Rock".

The Stones have been with me for the whole of my six decades on the planet. The shelf is groaning with the Stones collection and I recommend 'em all, but if I needed a Stones fix right now, I'd go to the B side of Goat's Head Soup.
And don't count out the early albums.....really any of 'em are a gas. Gritty, rootsy, dirty blues - Brian was a motherhumper (before the Glimmer Twins nudged him out).

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
