Yes good call.

Mine change from mood to mood, day to day. Is it not good that we are fan's of a band that have so many great interchangeable albums!... Like choosing trying to pick your favorite kid (ok I wouldn't really go that far). All have different qualities that provide bragging rights. - but of course there is always a black sheep of the family that shall remain nameless!!

Jeroen you are a true man of the 70s :-)

No particular order:

Aftermath
Sticky Fingers
Exile
Some Girls
Out Of Our Heads

If we were including greatest hits and live albums, I would throw Hot Rocks and Ya Ya's in there somewhere!

Why wouldn't we include greatest hits and live albums? The question was about albums. Ya has definitely belongs!

In no particular order:

Love you live
Ya ya
Exile
Tattoo You
Beggars Banquet

1 Out of our Heads
2 Exile on Main Sreet
3. Aftermath
4. Some Girls
5. Let it BLeed

As Dandy and UTR have noted, our personal top 5 lists probably change once in a while. While most of us might agree on the "best" 5 RS albums that we'd recommend to a new fan (some combo of the Big Four, SG, Hot Rocks), our personal faves evolve depending on what we've burned out on or rediscovered for the moment. I find it interesting and refreshing to see such titles as RSNow, OOOH, ER and SW on people's lists.

How many times do we have to do this?

Here we go again and again and again and again......

Sticky Fingers
Exile On Main Street
Some Girls
Get Your Ya Yas out
Goats Head Soup

If we're talking live albums I have to mention the Shine A Light Soundtrack. That was the very first full Stones CD I bought and it truly hooked me.

Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main St.
Let it Bleed
Tattoo You
Voodoo Lounge

Excluding live stuff;
1) Exile
2) SF
3) BB
4) LIB
5) SG

No surprises, and there shouldn't be except perhaps SG. I did have to give the 5 slot some thought.

Including live stuff;
1) Ya Yas
2) Exile plus alternate Loving Cup
3) SF Deluxe
4) Brussels
5) Handsome Girls

Honorable mention - Stones Touring Party, BB, LIB

ok I got trapped in this crazy thread- I am not including bootlegs


1. Exile on Main Street
2. YaYas
3. Still Life
4. Sticky fingers
5. Decembers Children

And the 60s

Today

Beggars Banquet

Some Girls disc 2
Bridges
Stripped

It's Always and forever:

1/ Out of our Heads
2/ The Rolling Stones
3/ Around and Around
4/ Aftermath
5/ Between the Buttons

2 1 2 0

Only the fifth one matters (to anyone else) – Emotional Rescue (probably because it was my first Stones record).

Threads like this never get old, btw, never, but the way I listen to music these days, and I can’t be the only one, almost renders the entire concept of albums moot. Today, for instance, I had time for about seven songs and my ‘album’ of choice was ‘Emotional Beggars Bleed on Sticky Main Street.’

1.Tattoo you
2.Exile
3.Sticky Fingers
4.Beggars Banquet
5.Goats Head Soup
