OK, because flipper brought up the Beatles, I have to bring up the "Anti- Beatles". I always preferred the rougher, raw edge of the Stones, and the more guitar driven sound with a swaggering, swinging beat.
I'll go with Tumbling Dice, Keith here was at the peak of his addictions and still came up with one of the coolest riffs. Anything from the MickTaylor era is fabulous in my opinion, but Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are my favorite albums.
