Lets talk about the other great British band to come out and dominate the 1960s: The Rolling Stones
I have so much respect for them for still working today. Next year will be 50 years since the formation of the band. They are a great band with a lot of talent and energy (it's from all the drugs). I've always liked their bluesy-sound.
My favorite album: Sticky Fingers
Any other fans?
Fun fact: Keith Richards' favorite Beatles song is Please Please Me… and did not snort his father's ashes.

I like the Rolling Stones very much though when I was young in the 1960's you either like the Stones or the Beatles. They were like the opposite of each other and had their own fans. Beatles fans didn't like the Stones and Stones fans didn't like the Beatles.
It is hard to believe they have been together for so long. My favorite member was Brian Jones though I did like Mick Taylor a lot. My favorite album is 'Sticky Fingers' though I also like 'Let It Bleed' also.

The Rolling Stones have to be one of my favourite bands, for the album Exile on Main Street alone.
Though they haven't done anything particularly good since 'Some Girls'.

I don't know what to think of the Stones. I hate Jagger for kicking Brian Jones out, but Then again, I love (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, and all other Stones songs I've heard (although As Tears Go By really sounds like a mockery of Yesterday). I have Exile on Main Street on my Computer, but like Bowie, I haven't heard enough to really know.

Love them, though I'm not as keen on them as the Who or the Kinks. I generally prefer their earlier stuff, especially Aftermath (which is roughly their A Hard Day's Night, original material but they haven't hit their recognised "peak").
For years, I couldn't get into them at all (aside from She's A Rainbow, which I heard on an advert for a TV), and I really didn't understand why they were considered so great. Eventually I either heard Sympathy for the Devil or Gimme Shelter (which I think are their two best songs) and it clicked.

Sometimes I agree with Joe's opinion that their singles were their real legacy, but their albums from 1966-72 still constituted a pretty great run indeed. I've little interest in most of their post-1973 output tho.

I definitely think they were a "singles band".

I agree with you about the singles, with the exception of Exile on Main Street. A double album, not a bad song on it.

I've always wanted to try to get into The Stones but haven't yet. I looked up the track listing for exile and I did not recognize any of the songs by name.
I have still heard a good amount from them. Miss You, Gimme Shelter, Angie, Sympathy for the Devil, Heartbreaker, Paint it Black, Can't you Hear me Knockin are some of my favorites from them. I also really like 2000 Light Years From Home from Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Someday I will listen to all of their good albums, I am sure they are great,

Average Joe wouldn't recognise a single song from Rubber Soul tbf. Try listening to Let It Loose.

The Stones only released Tumbling Dice as a single from that album. Loving Cup is a popular song by fans also on that album. But Exile is a great album filled blusey, country, gospel influences. Try listening to Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, Happy, and Shine a Light.

Okay, I just heard As Tears Go By for the first time in so long. Love it! What is their best album?

Keith and Mick were so embarrassed by that song at one point. I think it's a good song.
I think the best Stones' album is Sticky Fingers or Exile on Main St. I prefer Sticky Fingers slightly more than Exile.
But give Hot Rocks a listen if you want more of their hit songs.

They were a killer singles band, so get hold of a best-of, particularly one weighted towards the 60s and 70s. Otherwise I recommend Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Exile On Main St.

I just looked at the track listing to Hot Rocks, and it fits the bill.

That "London Years" collection – 3CDs collecting all their 1963-71 singles (A- and B-sides both) – is the one I wouldn't want to be without. But Aftermath, Beggar's Banquet and Between The Buttons aren't far behind – I really think the Stones and Beatles peaked at basically the same time, 1966 thru '68.

Taking food out of Mick Jagger's (oversized) mouth, eh? 
Hot Rocks is pretty great indeed! It was my first Stones album too (actually cassette LOL )

You are the last person who gets to criticize me for illegal downloads, Von. Time Is On My Side has to be the catchiest song ever.

Those are all my favourite songs off of that album. Exile is most definitely my go-to summer album, but I had a good ol' time listening to Hot Rocks today. Some Girls is also one of my very favourite albums, especially thanks to Beast of Burden. really fun to play on guitar!
