    right now it's the still life live one. but it always changes
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    exile or sticky fingers, as in either or.. still have my original vinyl for exile, but my sf vinyl was stolen by an evil ex wife.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    My favorite album by the Rolling Stones is this one:

    Beggars Banquet LetitBleed Sticky Fingers Exile On Main Street.

    Good album that was! :D

    What a run!!
    I guess if I had to pick one,,, Beggars Banquet. I'll never forget buying that album when it first came out, putting it on and that drumbeat for Sympathy for the Devil started. Haha,,,,, mannnnnnn!!!!!! what an album!

    And of course, my favorite live album ever, which has gotten me across the country on road trips, and home on late night drives innumerable times!:

    It was mine, too, until I heard the boots of that tour, and realised how much studio overdubbin' had gone on! That shouldn't really affect my view of a "live" album, but, ya know, it did!

    My favourite would be Sticky Fingers, so many good tunes on that one. It was also the very first Stones album I ever bought.

    Exile is so great because they had just released "Hot Rocks" and there was no pressure for a hit album, and of course the drugs. I love all of of them during that era, from "Beggars Banquet" through "Goat Head Soup". No one could touch them.

    "100 Years Ago" and "Hide Your Love" off that album are so great.

    I am going to have to go with that one as well.

    Tough call between Let it Bleed and Exile. Exile is maybe a little more cohesive, but LIB has Gimme Shelter, my all time favorite Stones tune.
