Title: How Would You Rank "The Big Four" From The Rolling Stones? Post by: Newguy562 on April 01, 2012, 12:31:47 AM Rank these four records from your 'most favorite' to 'least favorite'. Beggars Banquet,Let it Bleed,Sticky Fingers & Exile on Main Street? :)
Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: I. Spaceman on April 01, 2012, 08:57:14 AM Those aren't my Big Four from that group.
Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: Aum Bop Diddit on April 01, 2012, 10:01:24 AM That is considered their peak, but anything from the London years (which includes ("Beggars" and "Bleed" I know) is right up there. That said, I've always been an "Exile" guy. Probably simply because it's a double! But that also means they can go down some different paths. Dense, murky, cocky, vulnerable, druggy and full of life. Yeah -- the Stones! Although there were good things to follow, this was the last brilliant burst. And pretty much the end of Keith Richards as the driving force of the band, and the last time I believed Mick Jagger as a singer.
Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: endofposts on April 01, 2012, 05:39:21 PM "Let It Bleed," "Exile on Main Street," "Sticky Fingers," and "Beggars Banquet." I would consider them worthy of consideration as the best four Stones' albums. Though I suppose it depends on what era of Stones' one prefers.

Taking on an LP as a whole is where I love Exile so much -- it has a vibe and a sustained one. "Loving Cup," "Happy," "Rocks Off," "Torn and Frayed," "Let it Loose" could all be my favorite. And sometimes "Ventilator Blues" or "Rip This Joint" (or others) sound perfect. Hell, there's a time for "Turd on the Run!" I guess my second would be "Beggars Banquet" -- it too holds up as a whole whereas "Sticky Fingers" and "Let It Bleed" might have a few lulls for me. Also, "Beggars Banquet" was such a dark and powerful announcement of what the Stones now were post-psychedelia. Seemed out of nowhere.

But come to think of it, it has more good songs than "Sticky Fingers," so I'd change the ranking between those two. Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: I.

Seemed out of nowhere. yes as a whole the album has a certain dirty/muddy/dungeon feel to it :) you can hear it and tell the stones were going through a rough time. let it bleed has to be number one for me in this list there's not one song on that album that is bad...the worst is "country honk" and that's a gorgeous cut. Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: cablegeddon on April 02, 2012, 04:15:54 AM 1. Beggars Banquet
Tie. 2-3 Let it bleed, Sticky fingers 4. Exile on Main street.

1. Sticky Fingers 2. Exile On Main St 3. Some Girls 4. Tattoo You Goats Head Soup is my personal fave though......

Sticky Fingers 2. Exile On Main St 3. Some Girls 4. Tattoo You Goats Head Soup is my personal fave though...... Title: Re: How Would You Rank \ Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on April 05, 2012, 10:53:29 PM I just think it's a really really really great album song-wise! Sure it might sound a bit muddy and might have come after Exile and before they're "comeback" (Some Girls) but song per song: Dancing With Mr. D, Angie, Heartbreaker, Coming Down Again, 100 Years Ago, Winter, Silver Train, Hide Your Love: it's a better record than either Sticky Finger, Let It Bleed or Exile! Well Hide Your Love is more of a jam, but I think it's better than it's spiritual kin found on Exile. I think the songs I listed are on par of better than those found on any other album The Stones ever put out.
