Exile on Main Street by Rolling Stones (The) (CD, Jul-1994, Virgin Records USA)

almost every track is great i should have had this cd in my stones colection sooner. the only track you ever hear on the radio is tumbling dice .

This is the classic, blues driven Rolling Stones, with a list of great songs. This is a step away from their classic roll and rock, and yet still maintains that rock identity.

The first Rolling Stones song I remember hearing was "Can't Get No Satifaction." About that time they let loose with a series of albums that kept everybody wanting more. Every song was a keeper. Exile on Main Street represents their peak. Afterwards, they still usually had a good song or two on each following album, but it seemed like they had to exert more and more effort to turn out hits. Personally, after this album I started losing interest in hearing their new stuff. But this one is as good as it gets - one hard rocker followed by another.

I am the Stones number 1 fan. This album is a must have for anyone who remotely loves them as well or is a fan of blues. The Stones are the most remarkable rock and roll band of all time and this album is proof.

this dense murky mix is probably best heard under the influence. gram parsons,besides being present,was also an influence,as were little feat. i'm partial to mick taylor, but like most stones releases during the taylor years, it's half brilliant...and half-baked

I have always thought that this was The Stones best, most pure, and soulful bluesy album that they ever put out.I snagged the record from my folks when I was a kid and from the first time I heard it I was hooked. Just thought it was time to buy the CD.Even if you're not a fan of The Stones you cannot deny that this is one of the best albums ever recorded from any era/genre etc. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I like the Rolling Stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................................................................

Classic Stones album. Very Bluesy and a different stlyle than it predessors, They turned the corner with this one andshifted gears a bit.It is regarded by most critics to be one of their best. i think it is interesteing consider the times.

Before my first listen of this album, I knew only three songs that were on this album. I thought maybe I knew Rocks Off, but I believe that the version that I knew of is a Rod Stewart song. I knew Tumbling Dice, Happy, and Shine a Light. That left 15 songs I didn't know so I didn't really know what to expect. There are a lot of them though that sound sound eerily familiar, and the first time I listened to them I thought they were all right. The second time they grew on me, and after that I thought that this could possibly be one of the best albums of all time. There's not a lot of flash on this album. No big time hit, but a lot of good songs. There's no need to go into the highlights of this album, because they're all equally good tunes. It's almost like a gospel album. I don't know what influences the Stones had when they wrote this album, but it worked brilliantly.

The Stones at their best. It still amazes me that with all their personal problems at the time, they managed to make a great album.
