save your cashola, go to a used spot, pick up their greatest (s)hits and take your girl out to supper. you'll want to listen to something else if you get laid though.

just go buy all their stuff starting from Exile on Main Street and work backwards...
the Stones sucked donkey cock after exile IMO...

but all their stuff is pretty much dollarbin common to $10 for everything from 'England's Newest Hitmakers' on up, provided you are satisfied w/US pressings. You may even luck into some cheap UK press if you hit up stores with good rock selection.

Early Stones is always some great raw shit, all the way up thru Exile. Not every LP was great, but most were good or better, and some are sublime (like 'Aftermath' and '12x 5' and several more.

Flowers ('Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?' 'Backstreet Girl')
Sticky Fingers ('Dead Flowers' 'Wild Horses')
Exile on Main Street

Easy! Start at their first album and keep going until Brian Jones dies.


































Fuck the Beatles.

I know my age is showing, but 'Moonlight Mile' and the rest of Sticky Fingers is great to get busy to. Preferably when you are 19 and with a 20yr old chick, though.

Rolling Stones couldn't carry the Beatles jocks in a suitcase. In comparison, RS are talentless hacks.

Where is the 'Apples and Oranges' graemlin?

Stuck in post production with the 'useless argument' graemlin, or perhaps the 'brick wall' graemlin?

Fuck the Beatles.

Jesus Christ dude, what the fuck have you been smoking?? I'll take early Stones over Beatles anyday. Anything up to & Exile is a worthwhile listen.

 

[The_Non]

Cmon, fuck the Beatles? Dudes always hatting on the Beatles and it's played. I thought I'd state for the record that hatting on the Beatles, while perfectly cool as personal opinion is hella

 

[Brian]

all of the bands mentioned in this thread fucking suck

 

[TheMack]

yeah, even if you dont like them, they had more talent and originality than any other group, pretty much EVER

 

[mallard]

exile stands out from all the other albums to me

Beatles musicianship and arrangements/compositions FAR EXCEED anything the Stones ever wrote. They're just better. It might be comparing apples to oranges because they weren't going for the same audience per se, but on a pure musical/influential/iconic scale, the Stones are a joke compared to the Beatles.

 

[Funky_Mimizu]

What's with the Rolling Stones hatters? Stones were dope.

I just found that disco mix with the longer break of Miss You... dance classic.

Oh, and the other day I just heard that song "She's a Rainbow" for the first time the other day... shit is dope! What album is that on... and why had I never heard it?

Oh, and Charlie Watts is a dope drummer.

Peace...
