Aftermath (US) - the culmination of their straight-up blues worship


? This LP is so, so much more than this. Straight-up blues worship? Mother's Little Helper ?

Aftermath at #5 only is outrageously wrong.

Completely agree. You could add Paint It Black (US version), Lady Jane, & Under Your Thumb which are all distinctively and uniquely Stones through and through. It was a one-liner meant to capture not only the predominant characteristic and feel Aftermath, but also its place in Stones history of which I still feel it does well enough for a one-liner. The Stones always transcended their source material even on their earliest albums which were almost entirely covers.

edit: Notice that I have Aftermath as an "essential" album and #3 overall. I also wrote a mini-essay on it earlier in the week comparing the US vs. UK versions because I love it so much and wanted to put it into my overall chart.

Well, it is exactly how the site ranks it too. How to go from here without mentioning the endless subjectivity vs. objectivity discussion? Think Okay, that just failed! I guess the Stones are and always will be remembered and acclaimed for their rootsier stuff. We can always be thankful that an album like Aftermath isn't completely overlooked.

EDIT: OK, technically the site only ranks it as #6, but out of these albums it's the same ranking.
