I Was A Huge Fan Of The Rolling Stones Back In The 60's...

then came "Exile On Main St."... which really pissed me off... double album fulla not much at all... a complete waste of my time and money... I listened to it prolly no more'n three times before I gave it to a buddy of mine...

I was really into The Who and Cream back then.

But every Stones fan I knew, all said "Exile" was their best album.

I 'spect your sample was limited to an incredibly small group of individuals who came of age 10 years after the Stone's '64 debut...

I can still recall the experience, back in the sixties, of listening to "Sympathy for the Devil" through stereo headphones. It's also great now to be able to watch the Stones perform it in concert via Youtube videos.

Probably one of the all-time greatest R&R songs ever.

The Stones, The Who, Cream, I loved them all. Still do.

Saw the Stones at my very first rock concert in 1965, and then saw them again just a while back, maybe 7 years ago. They had not lost anything over the years.
