Hot Rocks 1964-1971 [DSD Remastered](more) »rank: 461by: The Rolling Stones
: :Remastered reissue of 1972 compilation, suitable for standard & 'Super Audio' CD players. Gatefold digipak. Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com:It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass and Through the Past Darkly. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. ... |

Beggars Banquet(more) »rank: 1690by: The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones
: : Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com essential recording:Opening with 'Sympathy for the Devil,' the Stones' infamous we-are-evil poem, this all-original 1968 album began a quality streak almost unmatched in rock & roll. Mick Jagger begins writing from the working-class hero's perspective--especially on the anthem 'Street Fighting Man' and 'Salt of the Earth'--and Keith Richards buttresses his partner with rock-solid slide licks recently graduated from the School of Old Blues Records. 'Jig-Saw Puzzle,' which inexplicably never became a hit, is the only known instance of Jagger's describing the Stones' individual personalities in verse. --Steve Knopper Amazon.com Music Reviews:Beggars Banquet is among the Stones two or ... |

Exile on Main St.(more) »rank: 1037by: The Rolling Stones
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: ROLLING STONESTitle: EXILE ON MAIN STREETStreet Release Date: 07/26/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP essential recording:From the swaggering frustration in the first song ('I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping,' Mick Jagger sings in the hyper 'Rocks Off'), the Stones speed through familiar neighborhoods of country, blues, and R&B on Exile. They never even bother to stop when they've crashed into something. They don't leap into new worlds so much as master the old ones, turning Slim Harpo's blues obscurity 'Hip Shake' into a harp-and-piano steamroller and setting spines a-cracking in 'Ventilator Blues.' Both 'Tumbling ... |

Let It Bleed [DSD](more) »rank: 1330by: The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones
: : Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com essential recording:One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky 'Love in Vain') and country ('Country Honk,' the two-stepping alter ego of 'Honky-Tonk Women') before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped 'Gimme Shelter,' the drug-reality anthem 'Monkey Man,' the epic 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' and ... |

Some Girls(more) »rank: 1374by: The Rolling Stones
: essential recording:A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of 'Miss You' and closes with the self-destructive punk of 'Shattered.' (Both songs, especially 'Miss You,' with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.) So the Stones declared credibility in the dance circuit without sacrificing their hard-rock reputation. Though the anti-love 'Beast of Burden' and the stylishly slow 'Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)' continue to rack up the most airplay, the obscurities stand up surprisingly well. Worth replaying: Keith Richards's rickety rocker 'Before They Make Me ... |

Flowers(more) »rank: 4442by: The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones
:Album Description:This album represents a turning point for the Stones. Though they had not yet fully integrated the baroque aspirations of pop into their music, the flower-power influence had nonetheless begun to take root. While all the earlier elements of their sound are still firmly in place, in the folky 'Backstreet Girl' and the relentlessly rocking 'Let's Spend The Night Together,' new sounds also crop up. Cuts like the woodwind-sweetened ballad 'Ruby Tuesday' and the Middle Eastern-tinged 'Mother's Little Helper' set the stage for the full-blown head-trip that would unveil itself later that year on THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST. |

Out of Our Heads(more) »rank: 10560by: The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones
: : Remastered reissue of 1965 album, suitable for standard & 'Super Audio' CD players. Digipak. Abkco. 2002. Rolling Stones Photos Amazon.com:This one misses a golden opportunity by not including 'Get Off of My Cloud' ('Just 'cause you feel so good, d'ya have to drive me out of my head?'), but that's about the only mistake it makes. In the few months since the release of Now!, the Stones' sound had grown harder; even a ballad like O.V. Wright's 'That's How Strong My Love Is' attains a rumble that'll make you think a big truck is driving by your house. When Jagger drawled, 'Buzz ... |

The Darjeeling Limited(more) »rank: 1903from: Abkco
: :Music plays a huge part in director Wes Anderson's meticulously crafted world. For this movie set in India, he's come up with a typically wide-ranging, mind-boggling soundtrack largely culled from the mid-'60s and early '70s, despite the fact that the film is set in the present. Though Indian cinema has come to mean Bollywood for most Americans, Anderson pays tribute to art filmmaker Satyajit Ray by including music from some of his movies, mines the early (1963-1970), lesser-known oeuvre of James Ivory, and features traditional Indian tunes. This may throw fans of Bollywood's more frantic style at first (even if the upbeat go-go ... |
