The Rolling STONES: Everyone Is WRONG About The BEST Rock ALBUM?

- The Rolling Stones were on a roll! Between 1968 and 1972, they put out four albums that many fans say are their greatest, and some even say they're among the best rock albums ever made. Their last album in this amazing streak was a double album called "Exile on Main St." It was a wild ride to close out this epic period, just like you'd expect from the Stones.
Most folks know the story behind the album's name: the band had to leave England for a while because of high taxes, so they rented a place in France to make their music. But even though they were in Europe, the music on "Exile on Main St." is a mix of blues, soul, country, and rock - a sound that's all over the map in the best way possible.
This is a special double album - all 18 songs are fantastic, no duds here! Let's dive into each track and see what makes them so great.

To me, Exile is the best R'n'R ever. I know a lot of people will disagree, but who gives a F?
Who's Next is the best rock album ever made.
I agree. It's fearless, tender, angry, joyful and sad. These songs still reveal more each time you listen to them.
It's just everything good rolled into one searing collection. Some songs are so tender and beautiful and others are fearce. Love it!
Agreed!! Its very special.
Deep and Dirty
Like no other
You are right. The Who fan is wrong.
I love the Mick Taylor years.
Yes, and Taylor's favorite Stones album... 1968-1974
Same.
Without a doubt they were at their peak when Mick Taylor was part of the band. He showed his great skills when they played live. Listen to his playing on Sympathy for the Devil live. You can hear him on Ya Ya’a or his blues roots on Love in Vain
I think it is a five-album run. I would include "Goats head soup'. in the run. All of Jimmy Miller produced albums are 5 stars to me.
Side A of Goats Head Soup is on par with the previous releases. Lets forget about side B...
@@IgorSinitar "Winter, "Star Star" and "SilverTrain " more than make up for the filler. "Winter for me is an underrated classic.
I like Goat’s Head Soup, but it doesn’t have the energy of the earlier albums and the songs are of inconsistent quality. They are good songs, just not enough really high moments. The band sounds comfortable if not tired.
GHS was really the end of their peak. They put out some great work after Mick Taylor left and Ronny joined, but the songwriting grew more and more uninspired starting on Goats Head.
@@jbmyerov with a different track order, GHS would be so much better. Every album of that 68-72 run kicked off with a scorcher, GHS not so much
I love this album & it's inaccesibility to the masses make me love it even more
Exile is one bad ass album. Love every single song on it
Certainly a lot of great tracks, but then you have at least 10 filler
Exile is one of those albums it takes a few listens to like it. At first i didnt think much of it. But it grows on you
The Stones did four consecutive albums with Jimmy Miller and they're all brilliant. The fifth (Goats Head) was the sound of a bunch of guys who were spiritually out of gas. Exile on Main Street was the epic. Still is.
TOTALLY OUT OF GAS...YEP, THAT'S HOW I FELT WHEN I LISTENED TO THAT ALBUM THE FIRST TIME ....SUCH A DRAG, SUCKING IN THE 70'S STARTED IN 73....
IMNSHO, GHS is the Stone's best album. The eclectricty in the album is palpable, glam, rock, folk, it's all there. Angie, Silver Train, Star Star match up to any of the Stones classics. Winter is brilliant. Sticky Fingers is a close 2nd. Exile is a very close 3.
Goat's Head Soup had some good moments, though, and is a great album on its own -- the problem was that it had to follow Exile On Main Street which was the Stones at their apex. GHS had a bit of reggae, some introspective tracks like "Winter" and "100 Years Ago", old school rockers like "Hide Your Love".... Dancing With Mr D is awesome -- if you listen to the alternative mix that has Mick Taylor more prominent (the final mix used on the album is a bit too murky, but it did work I guess). It's a good album, but pales compared to Exile, which I really don't think could be topped. How do you top perfect?
Goats Head Slup is a fucking great album too. I think it's unfair to compare it with Exile. Remember that Exile was a double album and Goats Head Soup is simple one!!!!!
Man people get goats heads soup wrong. Obviously it’s not exile. But it’s such a great collection of badass songs. Lots of styles, they started branching out. Common man heartbreaker? Star fucker? Comin’ down? Angie?
Incredible documentary, so good and
Dirty...better than any official doc on Exile. Brilliant work.
Masterpiece
Exile blew my mind when I heard it. The Stones "blew me away" when I saw them play it on tour. The album stirs me up today 50 years plus and going. Best album ever. Appreciated.
MSG 1975 . Rip this joint was the first encore !!!
@@garymack8070 absolutely sublime. Every track is excellent.
@@garymack8070 love it man!
To me, Exile is without doubt the best Stones album.
If only 'Satisfaction' and a few others had been on it !!
No, the best album by anyone.
@@flynnlizzy5469 idiotic comment of all time
@@jamesscanlon5969 Now you know what you're talking about
Greatest album ever.
6:04 I agree soo diverse musacally and all songs fantastic
Exile was definitely another direction from which we were used to but it definitely grew on me.❤❤
To me its an AMERICANA album! Its the Stones most varied take on American styles from Rock to Rock a Billy to country blues to country to R& B ballads, its really ROOTS ..I mean there are acts calling themselves Roots and Americana that can’t touch this collection. It’s absolutely brilliant! The guitar interplay between Richards and Taylor is at its peak here and its absolutely the most KEITH- centric album they ever recorded too😁
Agreed, it's how I've always thought of it, The Stones playing Americana, at their best.
Absolutely right 😎😎👍👍
It's the Stone's "Basement tapes", ala The Band. But instead of being recorded in a pink house in Woodstock N.Y. Exile is being recorded in a Spanish villa in the South of France and mixed on Sunset Boulevard in ole L.A.
WOW, I never knew this album was panned. Had it since it was released and still play it regularly. Have all the Stone's album's prior to this and sometime's binge listen from from album #1 onward's.... Great Band..... Great Video. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it...Keep it Rolling!
Great video on a great album, but I would extend the golden era to include GHS. No stripped down blues but great songwriting all thru, Angie the mega hit, some beautiful open Chord ballads, some social commentary, a touch of evil, Star F'er and Silver Train's Mick Taylor slide ! Never got much love then or now but it followed their best work. Whatever, Stones all day everyday !
They are the greatest rock band so they should obviously have the greatest album.
Beatles are the greatest rock band of all time, and it isn't even close. But the Stones are definitely contending for the second spot.
@@michaelharrington75 yup
stones r garage rock at its best no thought intent to change the world beatles are best and did change the world there is so no comparison its funny
@@michaelharrington75 The Beatles are a great pop band.
@@michaelhoffman5486 It's not about changing the world, it's about the music. The Stones are rock - The Beatles are pop.
My favourite album ever.
Greatest masterpiece in rock history.
Precisely. Nothing else touches it. Makes the beatles look like the souless lot they were
This documentary is pure gold. The Mick Taylor years were the Stones at their very best.
Indeed,
A strange street
to walk down,
Now let it loose…
Keith Richards Main Offender album. Rock n Roll stripped to its essence.
Thanks Nicky
I love this album. I discovered it several decades ago. I purchased it by accident. I was in the mood to hear Rolling Stones music, but when I got to the record store, what I wanted was not there so I bought this instead (on cassette), and carried it around for a few weeks. I thought it was a tremendous piece of work, and I couldn't understand why nobody was talking about it. Since that time my opinion has been adopted by many critics who had previously panned it.
Acheté presque par hasard également avec "Toys in the attick", les 2 en K7... en 1988 à la FNAC de Lyon, ville inconnue dans laquelle je m'étais fait massacrer quelques semaines auparavant par des "chances pour la France" venant en aide à un inconnu qui l'est resté. J'étais muni du billet de train, papier attestant la gratuité du voyage pour la convocation aux "3 jours" en vue du service militaire. Je retournais à Lyon pour me faire massacrer une nouvelle fois, têtu, par l'assistant-apprenti-chirurgien du vénérable chirurgien Masson, lui ayant servi de cobaye. Cela aura pas mal affecté la suite des mes événements.
Putain de bon album tout de même, presque autant que la magnifique blonde anesthésiste officiant pour le chirurgien Masson à laquelle j'avais répondu avant l'opération... avoir confiance.
Fool to cry.
Beggars Banquet is still my favorite, followed by Aftermath, Between the Buttons, Out of Our Heads, Let It Bleed, and England's Newest Hit Makers--but Exile's great.
So Mick Taylor plays a fish on Tumblin Dice, who knew?
The fish knew, he didn't get paid either, 🦈😄
But, the narrator didn't specify whether it was a small mouth or a large mouth bass. Small mouth bass is a much more difficult instrument to get a grasp on.
He tried it on the tilapia....no good. No flavor. Then, the red snapper; too chewy. I guess that day Bill Wyman was in bed with a grouper.
@@jonathansteadman7935 I thought original “played a fish” was classic. You upped the bar with not paid. Amazing that with that much money being thrown around they would be cheapskates. Mick Taylor deserves better in every regard. Sort of like how Don Henley/Glenn Frey treated Don Felder (Randy Meisner & Bernie Leadon). Meisner played a fish too
Nice “catch”.
I listened to Exile non stop for several years.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you! You too!
I first heard this record when I was 15.and.getting into music and like your first hit ,I've been chasing it ever since. Needless to say I've never had.the same high from any other record.
For me it was Sticky Fingers, age 11. But Exile is also up there.
In the 80s I had two copies of Exile in case I wore the vinyl out, and my flatmate had a copy, so three copies in a 2 room flat in London, so to say I thought it was the best album, double or otherwise then, yes. Sold my vinyl years ago. I still have Exile on C.D. remastered with extra tracks, but don't have a CD player for the 30 - 40 I have.
Ive had it on vinyl an 3 different CDs I would give it as a gift to places I would visit so it would be there lol
Think of all the stints in rehab that were born in the grooves of these discs
Complete Masterpiece..
Thanks for this
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Yehhh, that Nicky Hopkins: his piano work was a nice "towtch".
This is so good. Long live the Stones. Best band EVER!❤
Exile is still the best however Beggars Banquet wins on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Then I bought Goatshead Soup, gave it a listen and gave it to my little brother. I'm getting better at adapting to drop G tuning.... Love you still boys.
The best for sure. It was not as commercial, was more sonically diverse, and had dense production which made it less accessible and a harder listen. It is the Stones stripped down to their essence.
Exile is in a class by itself.
Eine interessante kreative Phase damals....das Endprodukt ist bis heute sehr erfolgreich und beliebt...dieser Bericht ist informativ und bringt interessante Erkenntnisse...👌..
Danke....🎼🔝...
welche?
@@Aristipp-ng5fu Man hat oft vorgefasste Meinungen, die man dann revidiert, wenn man die Hintergründe erfährt und versteht alles besser....🌻...
Sticky Fingers was the best album and loved the album cover ❤
I so hope that heaven is hanging out in Nellcote while Exile is being made forever.
16:30 “Bass” pronounced as it were fish instead of had it been spelled “base” makes me think this is AI narration
While video is riddled with goobers like that. Plus many soundbites that get repeated randomly at different points for no apparent reason, as if the narrative audio was assembled "cut up" style the way the video says Casino Boogie was composed. Definitely more A than I going on here.
That’s the point where I stopped watching. Is it only the narrator that’s AI? Or was the whole thing written and assembled by AI? Can I trust that the whole thing is factual or is riddled with AI generated anecdotes that have no truth to them?
Goats Head Soup and It's Only Rock and Roll were GREAT ALBUMS, TOO. THE BIG 6
Back when Music was GREAT and the people that made it knew their Shit .. 🌞😝⭐️.. Unlike Now…🤦♂️💩😩
True that.
My favorite Stones falls between 1966-1971. Exile was the beginning of the decadent end.
Excellent video about one of my favorite bands and albums. I bought it back when it came out and still have that double LP! My only complaint about the video is that you used AI to narrate it. Mick Taylor playing a Bass (fish) and Nicky Hopkins' piano giving it a nice towch. C'mon man, any true Stones fan would have probably narrated this for free!
Man ! We had so much free time . Like reading Moby Dick 'n' shit . The Basement Tapes and The White Album are also great messes . Too deep to know ,man .
I think Sticky Fingers was the best album they ever made.
Let it Bleed without question is their best work.
Nah, Beggars Banquet
I'm sorry, but Between the Buttons is when the vocals came together, and they lost it an for album, they got it back on the Album Beggars Banquet album, from then on, it was Balls to the Walls, RAMBLIN, too Stoned, jűs sāyīn !😎✌️😎!
I tend to think you're right. Exile suffers from the same indulgence as The White Album
Let It Bleed all the way -- MONKEY MAN, ffs!
1. Beggars Banquet - marries their earlier 60s feel to the classic spell.
2. Sticky Fingers
3. Exile
4. Let it Bleed.
"Let It Bleed" and "Beggars Banquet" were both Keith Richard albums, he played all the guitar parts, Phenomenal album s, almost as good as "Between the Buttons", UK Version, not the US version, RAMBLIN, so Stoned, jűs sāyīn !😎✌️😎!
To me, Exile was their peak and the 1972 tour was their greatest.
Exile is the sound of chaos captured in 18 tracks.
Taylor really cooked that fish on that track. Switched it up and got on "the bAss". Gotta love these text to speech narrations, wondering how much say the computer alone had in the editorial, directorial process. Getting whiplash with some of the narration splices.
As enough of a Stones fan for 50yrs and owning every album up to Tattoo You, I have never though much of ½ of Exile. Some really good stuff and lots of throw away songs like Casino Boogie. It's "OK" in my book.
Raw and powerful, great blues rock!
Exile wasn’t the last album it’s amazing streak, Goats Head Soup was. Soup is an incredible album.
Exile was the wild Saturday night sex, drugs and rock and roll party album. In a good way Goat Head Soup was the Sunday morning hangover.
great making of
It's a guitar not a fish.
mom says yes, pop say no, make up yer mind cos I gotta go
The best albums were Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed. And don't forget, Aftermath… of course.
Their best years were with Mick Taylor. He brought a freshness in after their problems with Brian Jones.
TRES Cool/Heavy!!!
Great album. Thanks for sharing.
Jimmy Miller !!!!
I think the back story about Nellcote being a former Gestapo HQ and the Nazi swag still present is both surreal and interesting bit of history. Maybe courtesy of the Devil himself ? Wild !
sorry - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is their best live album - no comparison
The Stones had a great Producer in Jimmy Miller who definitely brought the best out of them.Look at the run from Beggars Banquet to Goats Head Soup which was good but not Great like the previous albums
Mick Taylor period was the best. Loving Cup is a great song. My favorite album is Let it Bleed.
Exile on main street is a masterpiece of course, full of eclecticism... But I still prefer Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed.
I disagree best stones period was from 65 to 69
It is overrated by critics. I prefer Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers over Exile, especially Sticky. Exile still has some of the Stones' greatest jams like Tumbling Dice, Loving Cup, Rocks Off, Sweet Virginia, Soul Survivor .
So curious...I love SF, I love LIB ... but Exile is not a good album. Lots of average songs, no great riffs, no big melody. I own this album but never play it, they made so much better, so much !!
Its my favorite!!!!!!!!!!
Eruc gave kieth his first black guard whilst attending mick and Bianca nuptial.
He knew kieth would dig this plankboard dry thin rhythm machine
TRE|S Cool/Heavy/Brilliant!
Like just say i love the stones ❤
Let it bleed. #1
Exile!
Kieths all balls out outtros are the joyous rollicking endings to these songs where uf you didn't know better you'd feel like its the last time youll ever be rocking again in your life.
So youd better make the best of it.
I went to the record store the day “Exile On Main Street” came out. I could not find it and asked the clerk at the counter about it and he said it was right in front of me. I had seen it but thought it was a newspaper sitting there in the rack. Worst album cover I had ever seen. But I knew the album would be good because it was the Stones. Yet when I first heard it I was somewhat disappointed because I only liked half of it. I guess at 16 years old, what I wanted were a dozen “Brown Sugar"s, but instead I got something like the White Album. Some great songs, some good songs, and then a bunch of songs I was going to have to work at.
Now, 52 years later. I admit that Exile is the Greatest Rock Album ever made.
Though my favorite is still “Close To The Edge”.
"Exile" is great but I perfer "Sticky Fingers", "Some Girls" & "Tattoo You".
For years I have been telling people this album is the best album in the history of music.
love it. but is an artificial human "reading" this? i mean, who pronounces *Touch* "taowch"?
Definitely an AI narrator and assembly, with substantially more A than I.
Don’t wanna walk and talk about Jesus 😩 I just wanna see his face,Happy Sweet Virginia ….
You either get it or you don't!
What's with the thumbnail title ,!!.
Exile is it
Without all the adjectives this would have been incredibly enjoying!
Aftermath and Banquet are for me their best. Fresh, tight, Jones influenced. Exile I find sloppy and inconsistent, though a superb single album could have been salvaged.
I include Goats Head Soup in the streak to make it 5 of the best rock albums ever made
Oh. I see I wasn't the first to comment on this. I'm glad many agree!
My favourite is 'Sweet Virginia'.
The BEST stones album? What each and every individual person thinks it is for themself.
For the so called greatest album, it doesn't get played that often out there. I'd say Who's Next gets way more air time, and is used in commercials and in the public domain way more often and so that would be a better way to measure an albums greatness. I do love both albums however.
Bill wyman was here. i'm the one who writes it everytime I can.
It was not a very good album compared to most of their earlier albums . Mick admitted it early on .
Later on , younger listeners not familiar with their earlier recordings latched on to Exile on Main Street because it was released when they came along . They liked it because it was different from other bands , but long-time fans who bought all their early releases knew it wasn"t very good . If they had an ear that worked well . Mick said it was material they had set aside , and they gathered it up and released it , but he thought earlier recordings were better , mentioning Beggars Banquet as an example .
I get itberber jewelry jangling on down the street .
Yea thats Brian.
Great album but Sticky Fingers edges it out.
Stones Tribute to the piss and grease side of the street!!!
Other than "I Just Want to See His Face"- the sound quality on this album was not good ...
Take any four. But I like main street. Strangly mick and Keith are indifferent on it.
None of that second side would have materialized if not for the invited presence of gram parsons.
He coukd have the same bad habits and not be considered a hangers on.
Its so interesting that its the rich people that always seem to have tax problems ;)
Hold it ! Sticky fingers would be the best if you define best by my opinion and all the friends i can think of. There is no debate here.
