Sticky Fingers the album had a real zipper on the front cover.

My number one for sure! I love Exile, Some Girls and Let it Bleed. Sticky Fingers is the Stones at their greatest for me.

EXILE ON MAIN ST

And hey I know opinions vary but Stones are the greatest 'rock n' roll' band of all time, ever will be. Just the way they pulled it off, replacing a great musician like Brian Jones with Mick f'ing Taylor and then rip off the run they had. Even a great portion of the stuff before and after 68-74 is untouchable. Some Girls and yea I cannot listen to Start Me Up again but most of Tattoo You is as good as it gets when ya think that its basically leftovers from the 70's. Also maybe I'm a bit biased I guess because they pretty much recorded the soundtrack of my life, I sometimes catch myself lookin' around for Martin Scorsese

I can't imagine how the billions of people that lived their entire lives before 1962 without the Stones man.

Besides who the hell else ya gonna put up on the comparison block?? The media joked with Keith Richards croaking after the whole 27 Club was going strong with Janis, Jim, Jimi and Brian. They didn't even think the guy would make it to 1980 and he's still breathing!! Even 32 years after that. Like Ozzy said You Can't Kill Rock n' Roll

Read Keith Richards book "life". that will give everyone real good insight as to what was happening during the recording of all their great albums. Exile is the best, but record collectors really like goat heads soup, which i do also, Angie is the hit on that one. Man those dudes did a lot of drugs and screwed a lot of euro models. I would trade my gambling life for that in a second!!
