Absolute Nectar for the ears and the soul

Please, if you don't know it,Spotify it first before you suggest a spice girls album.

A better Stones Album or just a better Album?

A better Stones Album or just a better Album?

Either, but I think it is the best album by any group ever. The stones have made some amazing Albums but Exile is so raw, so edgy so complete it raises my spirit like no other.

 

[studio150]

Exile On Main Street isn't even the best double album, let alone the best album ever.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Now, if I'd started a thread about Virus Meadow by And Also The Trees some would have called me a self-indulgent flibbertigibbet.

So....nay, nay and thrice nay. Some old shite by some Dartford ponces is not the best record ever. Fact.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

I mean, it’s all subjective but… ‘Highway 61 Revisited’ has what I believe to be the greatest song of all time (Like A Rolling Stone) on it so I’ll say that. Honourable mentions to Rumours and The White Album.

 

[The Clamp]

There is no "best album", There are people's favourites but a definitive "best"? No, that's not how art works.

 

[Superphil]

Indeed, especially as Ziggy Stardust is the best. Or Led Zep IV. Or something else

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Love rock but never ‘got’ the stones?
Mainly, my favourite album is seventh son of a seventh son.
It can vary from day to day though.
Yesterday it was rainbow rising

And your point is,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

Indeed this. Entirely subjective.

You need to put your prejudice to one side. It's a brilliant album from that time back in the depths of history when the Stones were the greatest rock n roll band in the world. Years of caberet tours later they have morphed into the very people they were raging against , but back in 1972 they were the biggest counter culural force in the western world and produced a ragged masterpiece, the very definition of "better than the sum of it's parts". Shame they didn't call it a day when Mick Taylor left.

Ps I may have had a few from that box of Tiny Rebel i picked up earlier. Also I'd already been in the pub.

I respect your judgement and will give it a listen. Promise.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Just splashed the cash on a lovely print of Charlie Watts in action, painted by Ronnie Wood. Blue Smoke Charlie. Charlie was a remarkable drummer. Ron Wood is a great painter, guitarist less so.

 

[Eric the meek]

AJA, Steely Dan.

It was the first album I ever bought. Nothing has matched it since.

There was even a band who named themselves after one of the tracks - Deacon Blue.

Just the one?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

My missus will not listen to the stones, but will swoon at an album by Michael bubble or Donny the teef.
S'pose it's all personal choice WHAT is the best album

 

[wuntbedruv]

I respect your judgement and will give it a listen. Promise.

Do it, do it today. Your soul will thank you for it.

Stones are too mainstream for me. Prefer a bit of Eno, Can or Neu! but...

Space Ritual innit? (Almost) controlled chaos for an hour and a half - apparently they edited out some stuff as the actual live show lasted nearly twice as long...

Here is the Encore which didn't make it on the album but did surface on Roadhawks a few years later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPyxjxRW4g8

Strobes/Synths/Stacia/Saxophone Noodling all over mad riffs from Dave Brock with Lemmy & Simon King driving it all from the back.

First heard it in 1976 and wore out the casette within a couple of months. Gets played every week.

Obviously there is no 'Best' Album but I would urge anyone that has never heard the mighty Hawks to listen to Space Ritual - you might even like the Poetry!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I've never had a favourite album

There are Loads that I consider masterpieces, but I couldn't pick between them.

A few that instantly spring to mind;

Closer
Wild Planet
Surfer Rosa
Combat Rock
Call of the West
Mind Bomb
Eight Legged Groove Machine
Stories from the City Stories from the sea
Dig Lazarus Dig

Edit:

Blood on the tracks
Blue Sunshine
