About a month ago I started playing some early Rolling Stones albums on YouTube and then I just kept going. Playing the entire library wasn't the plan initially but last night I played "Tattoo You" the 29th album released by the Stones (my 28th) The only one that wasn't on YouTube so far was Hot Rocks.
The entire collection to this point is just a masterpiece. They are the greatest band of all time IMO.
My personal favorites so far:
I LOVE there early blues covers so the 1st 1/2 dozen albums were top notch IMO
After that "Let It Bleed" was excellent. "Between the Buttons" is one I don't hear many people rave about but I loved it.
Most of the others were very good also. Curious what some of your favorites are.
I feel like I'm nearing the end of the Stones run. I might stop when I hit the 90's or 00's lol.

I like most of their albums.
Best were the 5 albums produced by the late great Jimmy Miller.
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile on Main Street
Goat's Head Soup
Goat's is not thought of as being quite as good as the other four,
it was recorded in Jamaica in late 72, by that time Richards heroin addiction
was taking it's toll, Miller was hooked too, also engineer Andy Johns,
younger brother of legendary Glyn Johns.
The song "Coming Down Again" pretty much sums it up.
I personally like the album a lot, I like playing drums to it.
Miller was a super drummer, he played drums on a few songs,
including "You Can't Always Get What You Want" ... apparently Charlie had a tough time
getting the right groove. It was recorded on nov 17th 1968 at Olympic Studios, London,
Brian Jones showed up but didn't play on it, he just sat around on the studio floor reading comics!
The choir was added later during the mix down in 1969.
Interestingly it was used by the Trump campaign as their "theme song".
It's Jimmy Miller's voice you hear shouting during "Child of the Moon" Intro,
a very cool tune mainly forgotten, was B side to Jumpin' Jack Flash single.
