COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Argument Continued submitted by Caser on December 9, 2010, 4:33pm Even this past weekend I had an argument with someone about a track on this seminal blues rock record, released in 1972. My side: Tumblin' Dice's opening bars are some of the coolest moments in rock history and they open up all that's best about the Stones' sound in just a few short minutes. His side: "what, you mean the "Tony the Tiger song?" Obviously, he knew the Stones never put Tony the Tiger into their chorus, but I was derailed. Some people just won't ever concede that this is their best album. It's too bad they're wrong.

Best submitted by dakeahl on July 1, 2011, 9:42am The quintessential Rolling Stones album. The Stones were at their blue-sy best througout this one. A great road trip companion, just pop it in and enjoy.

Amazing submitted by kittenkat101 on August 9, 2011, 4:13pm "Exile on Main St" is great. It's a classic Stones' CD and every track on it is a hit. I agree--it's a great CD for road trips!

Prime Stones submitted by kencza on July 23, 2016, 10:53am Coming after Sympathy and Let It Bleed this was a very
creative diverse release /lots of genre bending and wicked
ripping rock & blues. Tumbling Dice, Sweet Black Angel, Loving Cup, Shake Your Hips, Happy, and Sole Survivor are highlights for me, but there is no filler here.

perhaps their best submitted by SaraP on August 3, 2019, 9:37pm It's a classic that shouldn't be ignored. Some great country and blues stuff here

The best of the stones submitted by ashflowtuff on August 7, 2020, 9:30am Plenty of people claim this is the best of the Rolling Stones, but, eh, it just doesn't do anything for me. Boring. I guess I'm just not a fan of the stones.

A Good Example of Why They Are So Popular submitted by Meginator on August 27, 2022, 9:49pm This album might not have the Rolling Stones’ most-played songs on it, but stands the test of time as a testament to their talent and, in my opinion, makes a stronger argument for the band’s importance and longevity than most of their hugely popular tracks do. The musical style is dirty blues rock, built around massive memorable guitar riffs and with a more urgent sound than pure blues; in real time, you can hear the sound of rock and roll paying tribute to, yet shifting away from, its influences and finding its footing. I’ve long thought that the Rolling Stones were a bit overrated and didn’t really understand their astronomical popularity, but this album has made me rethink that. It’s really rather brilliant.
