"Later self-parody": I have to say Mick comes off as a poseur on Stray Cat Blues... but the music makes up for it.
God, my Stones bore mode is becoming engaged... must leave this thread alone....

My neighbor was playing something that sounded really good the other day as it came muffled through my wall. When I asked him about it later he told it was Goat's Head Soup. I owned this long ago but seldom listened to it and don't remember it at all. In a way it's not too surprising that this would sound good coming from the next apartment over -- it's the 70s Rolling Stones, after all -- but...further comments? Should I re-buy it?

Also, the UK version of Aftermath opens with "Mother's Little Helper," which the US version does not even include. You can't do without "Paint It Black," though.

As for other post-EOMS classics....I heard "Summer Romance" the other day on the radio and it sounded GREAT.

i vote sticky fingers. but even then, just like all the other albums in their purple patch, you have to put up with the mawkish/sentimental/somewhat unlistenable fillerish ballads and downhome country-blues tributes that arent as good as the rock tracks next to them. exile is good in that its so consistent but its highpoints dont stick out immediately like with the others. but then i dont really think the stones are an albums band either, for the most part. hot rocks 1 is my fave album of theirs.

Of the earliest albums, Now! is great. Their version of "Mona" kills.

I like Goat's Head Soup better than Exile.
