5. I'm kind of stuck on this one. I think Beggar's Banquet is a bit overrated, maybe even two or three bits overrated. It's not bad overrated but it never sticks with me as "all time classic rock and roll album" level either. I'm trying to talk myself out of putting Black and Blue here. It's a very uneven album. The good stuff is Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers level good but the bad stuff is 1980s and beyond Rolling Stones bad. I suppose I could go with Steel Wheels which to me is easily the best album they made in the 80s but that is also damning with faint praise. I guess for now I will stick with Black and Blue.

Some Girls is also a GREAT album. I have a softness for Black and Blue and Emotional Rescue, but they are shite albums.

Black and Blue's Hand of Fate is an absolute cracker, however. Moonlight Mile may be their most famous song in England, oddly enough. It's from Sticky Fingers, but must have been a canned song ahead of it's time (sounds like it should be on Black and Blue or the last song of Its Only Rock and Roll).

It's Only R and R is a criminally underated album. Side one of that is almost perfect.

1. Out Of Our Heads
2. Let It Bleed
3. Beggars Banquet
4. Sticky Fingers
5. Tattoo You

There are so many it makes this a tough question. Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed and Tatoo You would definitely be on my list. Probably Some Girls to
