Beggars Banquet
by The Rolling Stones
I worry that as somebody born long after the Stones had their mythologized run from this album until 1972, I will never fully get on board with these being the best albums of all time. It's not an issue of them aging, I just worry that the impact hasn't translated. With that said, we don't waste a minute here (maybe besixes Factory Blues, which I found kind of annoying). Every song is a story of sex and small town degeneration, drug use and guitars scratching their name into the wall. Loosely conceptual and ugly, like it should be. A fully formed band growing out of their teeny bopper sex idol face and becoming something worth putting on a greatest album of all time list.
