What Stones compilation should i start with?

I want to start getting into the stones but don't know where to start.

is there any remastered compilations; all killer, no filler?

Any info/advice would be appreciated, thanks

40 Licks...



...is another option (40 vs 21 tunes) that can be had currently for less than $10.

Why don't you ask for Stones fans here to suggest a "mixtape" of Stones classics?

Some of mine would include:

Gimme Shelter
Street Fighting Man
You Can't Always Get What You Want (Love You Live)
Honky Tonk Women (Love You Live)
Midnight Rambler
Tumbiln' Dice
Coming Down Again
All About You
One Hit To The Body
Harlem Shuffle
Love Is Strong
Start Me Up
Take It So Hard (From Keith's "Talk Is Cheap)
Aretha's version of Jumping Jack Flash (Aretha did a great vocal and she played piano with Keith on guitar and Steve Jordan.)

Anyway, you get the idea. You can go to ITunes and make your own personal mix.

I would go with Forty Licks. It's by far the most comprehensive. I can understand the love for Hot Rocks but you're far better off just buying the studio albums from 68-72 than getting that one.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with everyone here and suggest

Singles Collection: The London Years

It's just about the most comprehensive overview of the stones from the outset of their career to the end of their prime that's ever made, and most of it is songs that weren't on the original albums (although some were added to the US configurations of the albums).

Oh and it includes everything that's on Hot Rocks and much much more

Aretha's "Jumpin' Jack Flash"....I remember that suckin' ass! At least you didn't put "Undercover of the Night" (I think Q Magazine said that was their last great single...no!).

If that's the case I would have put "She A Rainbow" and "We Love You" too. I heard Aretha's version on the radio the other day and it sounded better then I remembered.

Well that's a quite a declarative statement. smile
If you're talking about a set encompassing material that includes the original 5 lads (BJ Rules!), then you've got a good point.
