Stones sound great stoned, it's been over a,year. Dead flowers, Brown Sugar, Angie, Start Me up, Wild Horses, Sympathy for the Devil, Tumblin Dice, and so many more. These guys could play a 6-hour show, and do nothing but hits. I've seen them twice, once front-row.

One of the greats ! arty:

I don't know if we can count greatest hit albums, but I will

Best band and songwriter ever -- CCR (John Fogerty)

They had a very short recording career before things fell apart, they had a lot of hits and recordings in 1969

We have to mention Chronicle vol 1 20 greatest hits

I think it came out in the late 70's or 80's(all of the songs came out in the late 60's and early 70's)

Susie Q
I Put a Spell on You
Proud Mary
Bad Moon Rising
Lodi
Green River
Commotion
Down on the Corner
Fortunate Son
Travelin' Band
Who'll Stop the Rain
Up Around the Bend
Run Through the Jungle
Lookin' Out My Back Door
Long as I Can See the Light
I Heard it Through the Grapevine
Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
Hey Tonight
Sweet Hitch-hiker
Someday Never Comes

and Chronicle vol 2 was just as good in my opinion

Walk on the Water
Susie Q
(Part 2)
Born on the Bayou
Good Golly Miss Molly
Tombstone Shadow
Wrote a Song for Everyone
Night Time is the Right Time
Cotton Fields
It Came Out of the Sky
Don't Look Now (It Ain't You or Me)
The Midnight Special
Before You Accuse Me
My Baby Left Me

(Wish I Could) Hideaway
It's Just a Thought
Molina
Lookin' For a Reason
<LI>Hello Mary Lou

Dicky,actually Rock and roll Animal would have to be one of the best of the 70's as well as one of the best of all time. Remember hearing it for the first time in high school and it blew my sh*t away.

 

[DickyW]

Good call Judge, use to listen to that all the time in HS as well. My friends thought I was wacked out when I pulled the Kiss Alive 1 and made them listen to Heroin, nothing beats the live version.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Dropping window pane and listening to Lou. Them were the days.

 

[RobFunk]

60's - led zepplin 2
70's - ELO 'out of the blue'
80's - police 'synchronicity'
90's - red hot chili pepers 'bloodsugarsexmagik'
00's - ghostface killah 'supreme clientele'

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

00's - Who cares? It's all trash.

90's - Nevermind (Nirvana)

80's - Synchronicity (The Police)

70's - Alive II (Kiss)

60's - Any one of the CCR albums.

Volhound : CCR is up there with Stones. That album where they sit on the old couch is A-1.

Here's a good song from the eighties. George Thorogood's " Get a Haircut". His albums suck, but there's always one or two , like " You Talk Too much ". He can pull of a concert, but not like other bands.

" Haircut" applies to degenerate gamblers.

I remembered a few more I forgot to mention. Tom Petty and Bob Seger. Brother Bob put out some albums that rocked all the way through. Seger with gambling references also. ( You always won, everytime you placed a bet... ), from " BEAUTIFUL LOSER".

SEEGER AND PETTY ARE GOOD IN CONCERT !

Nobody mentioned:


Album of the 80's: Michael Jackson - Thriller

 

[Doug]

Decent, but not album of decade, IMO !

 

[Doug]

What band can touch The Rolling Stones, lifetime ? Where do you even place them... 60's, 70's, 80's ? Few come close... maybe Elvis, Beatles, Who, Eagles, Doors, U-2, and few more.

A DJ could play 6 straight hours of Stones hits. Not many bands you can say that about.

If you are young, your parents probably like them, very possibly your grand-parents.

They may be the greatest rock'n roll band ever. Even if their plane crashed in 1975, they might still be tops !

Stones are really Hall of Fame band, gotta love that band !

 

[Doug]

A few more hits not mentioned. Satisfaction, Ruby Tuesday, 19th Nervous Breakdown. I think a good 100 tunes can be called hits.
