There you go. It's either Beggars Banquet or Let It Bleed. Listen to the recordings; there is no debate on this for anyone that has appreciable sensibility.

And after those, in my opinion, is Sticky Fingers.
Then comes Get Yer Ya-Yas Out. (I believe it does count, biggest muff, because it's a release).
Then, maybe Exile On Main Street is after that, but I'm not so sure since there are at least five other contenders for the number five slot. 12 x 5, Aftermath, Between the Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request and Goat's Head Soup are either as good or very close to being every bit as good as Exile.

Hey, I love Mick Taylor's playing as much as anyone and he's featured on most of my faves, but Exile is not their best. Seems people think it's safe to tout it as such since it's a double platter or something. I don't know how in the hell it's garnered such a rep. So, in summary and for the umpteenth time, give it a rest gmku, Cantankerous and Everyneurotic... and all the other parrots too. In the end of course you're very much entitled to like what you purport to like, but sheesh, you've got me almost ready to agree with chronic naysayer sarramkrop that this thread is a chore and a bore.
