The Stones had a lot of great albums, but this one came at the peak of their career in the early 1970s. There is just something about this album that is the epitome of everything that was great about both the Rolling Stones and the early 70s. You won't find a lot of complex songs structures here: what you will find is a vibrant collection of completely enjoyable rock and roll songs.
Exile didn't yield a lot of hits relative to other Rolling Stones albums... Yet, this is probably their best, and most unassuming collection of songs.
If you can have only one Rolling Stones album in your collection, this would have to be your best option. This album is what rock and roll was all about.
Standout tracks:
- Sweet Virginia
- Tumbling Dice
- Rocks Off
- Happy
