I love the Stones, but I'm not sure they ever made what I would call a true masterpiece. They're responsible for one of the best six-album runs in rock history (Satanic Majesty through Goat's Head Soup), but all of those albums were defined by their soaring highlights rather than their all around brilliance. Maybe I'm just picky about the word "masterpiece," but to me, that means, more or less, perfection. And I don't think the Stones have a truly perfect record to their name, much as I love them.
