The Greatest of All Time

For pure genius, I don't know if you can beat Miles Davis and Kind of Blue. The last track Flamenco Sketches is pure bliss.

[RickM]

So Agreed. Its is the best Stones album and arguably the "greatest" r+r album ever, although personally I think that's an eat-your-tail kind of discussion to have. As for London Calling, excellent. Band From The Same Era That Never Got Deserved Recognition And Whom You should Give A Solid Listen To; Stiff Little Fingers.


Funny thing...I can remember having pretty much this exact same thread dialogue (Exile=Greatest...London=Close Second, What about Miles...etc..) a few years ago on the old VeloNews forum.

Yeah..........Exile's pretty good, no question. But if we're talking great (G.O.A.T., even) Love - Forever Changes and Zombies - Odyssey & Oracle are up there. I'd take Between the Buttons, Let It Bleed, and Beggar's Banquet, actually.

I'm not a huge fan of the horn use on Exile, really.
