The Stones at their imperious best.

This is my favourite album of all time it has a rawness about it like a jam session not refined "ok this is it put it out there" Rocks Off,Tumbling Dice,Soul Survivor,Happy,Ventilator Blues all great tracks really my most played album not a year goes by I don't play it

Not really any fillers but some tracks could be better e.g. Turd On The Run. Quite a lot of good tracks.

The best Rolling Stones album and the top of my chart! Listen to this all of the time.

Never quite got the adoration for this record. Some dumb songs, Turd on the Run, Ventilator Blues, All Down the Line, Shine a Light... Mostly adequate. Some brilliant parts, Tumbling Dice, Rocks Off, Soul Survivor. But to me obviously inferior to Let it Bleed (Stones most harmonious work), Aftermath (consistently brilliant set of songs that work terrifically well as an album), possibly others.

The greatest Stones album, and one of the best of all-time. Not as many singles but every single song is fantastic and go together quite well. Love the more bluesy, southern, gospel American sound.

The most cohesive Stones album. It lacks the big singles of other albums, but makes up for that by providing a consistent, visceral mood. Exile on Main Street is a slow-burner, and it's ultimately more rewarding than any other record in their catalog.

Although I think is a great album, I think it is overrated. It is in my top 100, but I think it is the fourth best Stones album.

I think what makes this album so great is the production to be honest. I makes you feel like you are right there or seeing them in a small venue. The first 5 songs are very strong, the rest is pretty good, but again is more interesting because of the production.

Here's a case where BEA has inspired me to check out what all the fuss is about. EoMS is consistently highly rated over the decades even though there are very few hits here. This really seems to transcend the Rolling Stones' sound like they want to sample a bit of everything and it's all here... gospel, folk blues, country, all mashed together and all of it played beautifully. Keith's riffs and Mick's vocal strutting are completely toned down in favor of reaching for something bigger, it seems.
