With the whole lot remastered and re released at discount proces i thought it time to add some RS to my collection. I just bought 'Exile On main st' and 'Beggars Banquet'. Cant believe how much Becks Odelay has ripped from the latter!. So if there's any stone heads in here what do suggest comes next?.

I know there's another Stones head who's more hardcore than me, I think he's RDDULL or something...I forget sorry!

I'm not a huge hardccore fan, but I do have a few and will get more Stones albums.

You started off good, I will suggest two more:
Some Girls and Tattoo You

Tattoo You has some fabulous songs on it. Of course Start Me Up, but it rocks, it even Funks. I'm currently listening to it over and over again! Heaven is fabulous for a summer night song.

Emotional Rescue is good especially the freaky Funkiness of the title song.

And wait a minute! Where are the albums on discount?!

exhile on main street
sticky fingers

these are the two best rolling stones records ever! if you have a record player, search out good vinyl...its so much better!

Start with ...

40 Licks (Compilation) - Good overview of their career to date


THEN -


1960s:

LET IT BLEED
THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST
GET YER YA YAS OUT (Live)
HOT ROCKS Vols 1 & 2 (Compilation) or LONDON SINGLES


1970s:

STICKY FINGERS
SOME GIRLS
BLACK & BLUE


1980s

STEEL WHEELS
TATTOO YOU


Get those and you'll be well on your way to Stonesville ...

'Steel Wheels' from 1989 is an excellent lp!
I just love Richard's croon his way through 'I Just Can't Be Seen With You'

Hot Rocks I & II
Sticky Fingers
Let It Bleed
Get Yer Ya Ya's Out
Some Girls
Tatoo You

Hey, if I were you I would pick up the new SACD version of The Singles Collection - London Years... It's the best Stones set on the market and will cover a lot of stuff that you'd rather not buy (like England's Newest Hitmakers etc.) If you don't want a compilation I'd say go for LET IT BLEED, which is an album I am permanently addicted to.

to flying cloud, they are discounted in the UK [HMV], I got Beggars Banquet for £9.00 and Exile for £7.00 both remastered!!.

Love You Live

BETWEEN THE BUTTONS
AFTERMATH

Good ideas, however all the above are like knowing P only from PR on and then only seeing the highly promoted stuff.

Start off with 2 albums from the mid-60's called "England's newest hitmakers-The Rolling Stones" and "12X5" to hear their faithful homage to their R&B heroes and to see where their sound came from. The drug for these would be alchohol and maybe some speed. Remember that at this time the Beatles were so cute, my grandma loved them.

Then get "Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons"; very experimental - sitar, long jams, guitar effects, but still rock and roll (that means it's trippy, but not in a loose open ended Jefferson Airplane/Grateful Dead kind of trip). For these, I'd recommend pot or acid.

Move on to the big 4:"Beggar's banquet", "Let It Bleed", "Sticky fingers" and "Exile". These are the core of what was, is and will be, The Rolling Stones. For this period, try bourbon and quaaludes.

(Alternatively, if you're drug free (as I am now), drive south in a car with a good sound system, get on highway 61 from Memphis south into the Missippi delta, and blast "Sticky Fingers" on your car stereo all the way to the intersection of highways 61 and 49. If you get out of the car you may find your mojo.)

After these, get "Some Girls" and Tattoo You". Drugs of choice, wine and sex (maybe some pot).

You'll also need to fill in with the 3CD singles collection from the 60s-70s, since many good songs never made it to albums; and of course, "Ya-yas" is a great live album.

Enjoy

Definitely get "let it bleed" and "Some Girls". Exile on Mainstreet is also very good and a newer release I would suggest is Voodoo Lounge.

Oh and definitely get "Sticky Fingers" too!!
