Beggars Banquet
The Rolling StonesSympathy with the Devil and Street Fighting Man are classics. I can generally take or leave the rest - it tends towards the bluesier, countrified sound of the Stones which was never my favourite side.

Lovely, whimsical. Think it needs repeat listens to fully appreciate but I like it a lot.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I remember returning the CD back in 2004/5! Definitely front-loaded, but it holds up well and is just a fun listen all around.
A tremendous album from start to finish. I love everything about it.
This is just a perfect album, fantastic highs but the whole thing is cohesive and varied. Amazing guitar playing throughout.
This has some great moments - I already loved Yeah Oh Yeah and the Book of Love especially - some of it washes over me. Some of it is almost purposefully annoying/kitsch, like Zebra or the boudoir/medieval track towards the end. I think it needs repeat listens for more songs to reveal themselves to me. All My Little Words, Promises of Eternity, Papa Was a Rodeo all have promise in this regard. But it's so long!
A beautiful record. I need to give this some more listens, but it's fantastic.
I can only imagine how mindblowing this record must have been at the time. Still a fun listen, though I don't think it has my favourite stuff of his.
