Lithium Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) In my opinion, this was definetly the best decade for one of the greatest bands of all time - The Rolling Stones. Exile on Main St. alone pretty much made it a great era for the Stones, but let's not forget the rest - Black and Blue, Goats Head Soup (my personal favourite), It's Only Rock 'N' Roll, Sticky Fingers and Some Girls. Please discuss 70s Stones here. Edited July 19, 2007 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 They had some good shit in the 60s as well, like Out of Our Heads, Aftermath, England's Newest Hitmakers, Let it Bleed, and of course, Beggars Banquet, but I still prefer 70s Stones.

Powerage5 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 IMO, the Stones' golden era started with Beggar's Banquet and ended with It's Only Rock N' Roll.Those 6 albums in that time frame were all masterpieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Come on, man - what about Some Girls and Black and Blue? Edited July 19, 2007 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 ^I would side with Lithium more so. It's Only Rock N' Roll is very good, but not as good as either of the next two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Rambler Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Late sixties early seventies for me. I mean, beggers banquet, let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile, goats head soup. Theyre the best stones albums. And in my opinion i think theyre probably the best singles band of the sixties aswell, not fade away, its all over now, lets spend the night together and ruby tuesaday (hows that for an A and B side of a single), and fuckin jumpin jack flash, the coolest most fuck you song they ever had. And their albums from the early to mid sixrties were great to, out of our heads, aftermath, between the buttons. I think from like 68 to 72, 73 they were untouchable.And i cant wait till Scorsese's new stones documentry 'Shine a Light' comes out in september.

UYIllusion Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I agree with the above poster. Late 60s early 70s was their best. Earlier 60s was a bit poppy (still a lot of good material) and the late 70s was that god awful disco era. Then again I would say 1965 - 1975 was the best 10 years for rock music period.

GivenToFly Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 except for a few lower points in early and mid 80s, everything the Stones put out was fucking awesome!(saw them live 2 days ago ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I actually like songs from the Stones that span all 13 decades of their existence :xmassrudolph: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Come on, man - what about Some Girls and Black and Blue?Some Girls had some good songs, can't say I was a fan of Black and Blue though. It's Only Rock N' Roll was the last great Stones record besides Tattoo You and A Bigger Bang, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketslash Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The 60's in general for meBetween the Buttons, Thier Satanic Majesties, The rolling stones(named) albums, aftermath, (the others i can't remember off my head)there was lots of great, bluesy material, the last time, little red rooster, and some good pop, ruby tuesday etc. and alot of great rock, get off of my cloud, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
