Where the Stones find their definitive blues-rock identity, for the first time. And first times are often the best.

From "Gimme shelter"s ominous intro to the last fading notes of "You can't always get what you want", this, along with the Beatles' "Abbey Road", is the sound of the 1960s, and with them a whole era, coming to an end.

The album that proved Jagger-Richards could compete with their peers songwriting-wise. And Brian Jones is on a roll as poly-instrumentalist.

Their response to Sgt Pepper's... Nowhere near as mind-blowing, but still... a darker shade of psychedelia with several glorious moments.

Wow. 51 albums in common. Great number one. When I went through a spell of depression I played the White Album constantly and it helped me. It was my favourite Beatles album for a long time. Then my favourite was Revolver for years. In the last year Sgt Pepper has become my favourite. I play it all the time. Plenty of other great albums and a few to discover especially Donovan. I am a fellow Scotsman and only know his singles. Now I want to hear his albums. It would be good to see more French music of the 60s apart from Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. But I suppose you are limited for space.
Tres bien!
