Exile on Main St. -- Like it or hate it?

I have the original LP, it's great- try it.

 

More Exile

In my opinion one of the true rock masterpieces and with the possible exception of Blonde on Blonde, perhaps the best two record set in the history of rock music (and I love The White Album, Allmans at Fillmore, Layla, The River & Ladyland)

But that's just me...

Peace-

I love it, but I also think it's overrated. I think it is one of their 4 best albums, but unlike most critics, I would put it behind Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed, and Beggars Banquet. I do think it's a great album, I just don't think it's their best.

 

I think of the Stones as going through two phases in their early years: With Brian Jones I think LIB and BB are the best, I think of SF as transition of the two phases and I think EOMS and Some Girls as the best from post Brian Jones.
