Merry Clayton's backing vocals on Gimme Shelter take it to another level. At times in the song her voice sounds like it is about to give out. I've seen some interviews with her about the recording process and I can understand why.
Is every Stones album a classic rock album? Maybe there's still a twist coming!
I think it's right around the 3-minute mark, but you can hear Merry Clayton's voice crack during I think the 3rd "It's a shot away!" in her vocal solo, and Jagger loudly exclaims right after that (which is somewhat low in the mix, but totally audible once you know to listen for it). Great little moment in a timeless classic.
Shot me a PM.
I won't name them, but I think I know which albums they are. I won't argue their inclusion in the top 10 either. They are deserved. IMVERYHUMBLEO.
It did not ring a bell. Solid tune, but not one I imagine I will seek out again.
I never was the biggest Stones fan. Somewhere along the line, I ended up with the Hot Rocks album. I had friends in HS and college that were big fans. Each made me mix tapes, so I had no idea what songs came off of which album. I have since moved on to self-made compilations and still don't know what songs are from which album. I like them more than I used to, but I would hardly call myself a Stones fan.
Sent. Nine of these are easy. The tenth is a question of whether it qualifies in his experience (it does in mine).
Hmmm. There are no questions as to whether any of the albums I guessed would qualify, so that tells me our lists are different.
Yep, I sent a list of 10 as well, and I could see the one being deemed too old (1966), and I could totally see tim putting the overrated early proto punk(-ish) record that literally no one listened to in real time on the list (despite never being played on any classic rock station I've ever heard).
something us suburban kids love.
I had Whole Lotta Love #1, The Lemon Song #2, What Is And What Should Never Be #5, Heartbreaker #6, and Ramble On #12. (I also had this album as one of Tim's Top 10).
Same here. Great album from start to finish, I never get tired of any of the songs, not even the ones you hear on the radio a lot, and it still has that late 60s gritty rock vibe to it. This and Houses of the Holy usually run neck and neck for being my favorite LZ record.
Had a 5th entry so I'll update this once I have a clarification. Everyone had this album listed. @Just Win Baby had it listed at #7 so he was pretty close.
I love Exile in Guyville! Brilliant album.
My stations also played All Down the Line.

Read somewhere that she was pregnant at the time and ended up losing the baby and sort of blamed it on this session. Not sure if that's true.
I think another Stones' album is definitely in the top 3. It might even be 1.
In the Documentary "20 Feet From Stardom", she said she was called to the recording session in the middle of the night. She showed up with her hair in curlers and she was pregnant. She said Mick pushed her to put more emotion into her words and felt the strain/stress of the session led to the miscarriage.
