Rank these Rolling Stones albums

i've attempted this before and it is impossible.

 

Exile on Main St.
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers

 

Get 'em all and just put 'em on shuffle.

All excellent.

 

1. Exile on Main Street
2. Sticky Fingers
3. Let it Bleed
4. Beggars Banquet

There are several great 4-in-a-row album sets:

1. Dark Side of the Moon
2. The Wall
3. Animals
4. Wish You Were Here

1. Moving Pictures
2. Permanent Waves
3. Signals
4. Hemispheres

1. The Grand Illusion
2. Equinox
3. Pieces of Eight
4. Crystal Ball

1. The Cars
2. Candy-O
3. Shake It Up
4. Panorama

1. Toys in the Attic
2. Rocks
3. Aerosmith
4. Get Your Wings

1. Duke
2. Abacab
3. Genesis
4. And Then There Were Three

And on and on...

 

exile
sticky
beggars
let it

tattoo you is my favorite post 1972 album - some great songs on there.

 

and then there is Zeppelin with:

I
II
III
IV
Houses of The Holy
Physical Graffiti (double disc)

and i'd almost include Presence for Achilles alone.

 

You could seriously count all 8 Zeppelin studio albums (Coda doesnt' count) as excellent. Presence is highly underrated- Achilles, Tea for One, Hots on For Nowhere, etc. Probably the longest run of consecutive excellent albums, except for maybe The Beatles or The Who.

 

Bad double post... sorry.

 

Don't forget about Stevie Wonder with these four in a row...

Talking Book
Innervisions
Fulfillingness' First Finale
Songs in the Key of Life

Stevie won 14 Grammy awards off of these four albums, including 3 Albums of the Year... the only artist to win 3... and that was when the Grammy Awards meant something.

 

But does it top Mr. Gaye?:

What's Going On
Trouble Man
Let's Get It On
I Want You

Tough call. Innervisions- wow, what a great recording. Love that CD.
