I'll have to revisit them, haven't really heard too much of them for a while but, and probably in this order: Exile on Main Street (Sweet Virginia being the greatest track; big up for Gram Parsons); Beggars Banquet; Let It Bleed.

Let it Bleed - primarily because of Gimme Shelter, immense track. Also Taylor's first album, although seemingly Richards did most of the guitar work.

It's not my favourite, but I still have a very soft spot for their first album, which was the first album i ever owned as an 11 year old as a Christmas Present from my brother in 1964.

All down to personal taste, as is all music, but aside from Paint It Balck it's all a bit 'meh'.

For some great live Stones, "Get your YaYa's" Out

Possibly the best live album ever recorded, but I am biased.

Another vote for Sticky Fingers, and yes I have the original LP with the zip. Bought it in Lyon & Hall, Western Road all those years ago.

So many indisputable stone cold classic albums....but the best is surely Beggars Banquet?

The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov is well worth a read to get behind Jagger's inspiration for Sympathy For the Devil (if you hadn't already done so).

Loved the book, never made the connection myself I might add...
