I just realized there's no board for these guys on the "Misc Artist/Bands" board here and there really should be, shouldn't there? So to correct that oversight . . .

The one legendary band that probably best encompasses the spirit of rock and roll, perhaps even more so than the Beatles. So many classic songs, here's a list of my favorites, many of which are obvious choices:

From the "Out of Our Heads" period, although the Stones had already released a few albums prior to this, this was the first one on which it was mostly their own material and hence the first really good Stones album:

Satisfaction
Get Off My Cloud
As Tears Go By

"Aftermath": This is often called by pundits the Stones' greatest album, which overrates it terribly. Although it of course contains a couple of classics, it is mostly dreary filler.
Paint It Black
Out of Time (orchestrated "Metamorphosis" version)
Lady Jane

"Between The Buttons": The group really begins to show their musical diversity and ability and they smoothly begin to integrate their hardcore blues sound with the psych-pop and folk that is becoming all the rage.
Let's Spend the Night Together
Ruby Tuesday
Back Street Girl
Who's Been Sleeping Here?

"Her Satanic Majesties": A terribly underrated disc as people deride the Stones for trying to copy the Beatles Sgt. Pepper and ignore the excellent individual songs - not everything works and there are some really bad moments, but this is probably the Stones at their most progressive.
She's a Rainbow
2000 Man
The Lantern
2000 Light Years From Home

"Beggar's Banquet": Back to the basics for another classic album.
Jumping Jack Flash
Sympathy For The Devil
Street Fighting Man
Salt of the Earth

"Let It Bleed": Maybe the Stones' best overall release of the sixties - and for the third straight LP, they try to parody a current Beatles' release.
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Let It Bleed
Monkey Man
You Got the Silver
Honkey Tonk Women

"Sticky Fingers": Entering the seventies with renewed energy and vigor.
Brown Sugar
Wild Horses
Moonlight Mile
Dead Flowers
Sister Morphine

"Exile on Main Street": The classic underproduced and underperformed to great effect 2-LP set. A landmark in American popular music.
Rocks Off
Tumbling Dice
Sweet Virginia
Loving Cup
Happy
Let it Loose
Shine a Light

"Goat's Head Soup": Maybe the single most underrated and unappreciated Stones album. These are just a bunch of magnificently written and gorgeously performed songs for the most part.
Angie
Coming Down Again
Winter
100 Years Ago
Hide Your Love

"It's Only Rock 'n Roll": This album is often forgotten in the glow of the classic stuff that came before it, but it's still a very good record.
It's Only Rock 'n Roll
Time Waits For No One

"Black and Blue": Ugh. The beginning of the decline starts right here as the Stones begin to get funky and reggae-ey, abandoning songwriting almost altogether in the process.
Memory Motel

"Some Girls": A big improvement over B&B and a bit of a redemtion. This is still far from the classic Stones sound, but there isn't really a bad track on here either.
Miss You
Beast of Burden
Shattered

"Emotional Rescue": Another mostly weak album anchored by two or three strong songs, the performances on this begin to sound positively sloppy in some cases.
Emotional Rescue
She's So Cold
Indian Girl

"Tatoo You": Really an outtake album for the most part, but they are mostly excellent high-polished outtake. Another revivial disc after the rather dreary ER.
Start Me Up
Hang Fire
Neighbors
Tops
Waiting on a Friend

"Undercover": Well-produced and snazzy sounding but totally vacuous. The Stones worst album?
She Was Hot

"Dirty Work": This one ain't much better.
Winning Ugly
Sleep Tonight

"Steel Wheels": Another redemtion at the end of the eighties when the band was left for dead they showed they still had it, able to come up with an album that not only had decent songs but sounded contemporary without sacrificing the band's essentials.
Mixed Emotions
Almost Hear You Sigh
Slipping Away

"Voodoo Longue": The first release of the CD age contains enough good stuff to justify the band's continued existence.
New Faces
Out of Tears
Blinded by Rainbows

"Bridges To Babylon": Let's face it the Stones will probably never again release a work as classic as Beggars Banquet or Exile again, but stuff like this isn't bad at all. Certainly preferable to the Undercover/Dirty Work period. Actually a very good CD which grows on the listener a lot.
Anybody Seen My Baby
Saint of Me
Always Suffering
Thief In The Night

How come the Stones never release any live albums?

Ummm . . . they've released several, actually.

Irony, I'll master you yet.

My (now ex) wife and I saw the Stones from the front row at Shea Stadium in October, 1989, during the "Steel Wheels" tour. They still had it back then, even though they were being written off as just "going through the motions." A once-in-a-lifetime experience.

"Let It Bleed": Maybe the Stones' best overall release of the sixties...
Hey Todd - You forgot to list "Gimme Shelter." IMHO, only the greatest song ever recorded.

A recent photo of Keith Richards, attached to an article about how he's spending his quarantine. He looks like he stepped out of The Walking Dead. (Yeah, I know he's looked like that for a long time. Just seems worse now.)
