Very few of their songs after 1971 impressed me much. After they released the heavily disco influenced "Miss You" in 1978, I pretty much gave up on them and never looked back.
The compilation "Hot Rocks 1964-1971" is their most essential album release. If they had included the single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" on "Hot Rocks"---it would've been nearly perfect.
The Stones started out strong, then went lame. Some of the Beatles' early stuff was just sugary pop, but they only got better as time went on.

I disagree they lost their edge in 69 , after all they did release Let It Bleed , Sticky Fingers , Get Yer Ya Yas Out & Exile On Main Street In that time.
Plus what were the Beatles up to in the 70s? , Paul McCartney in Wings , one of the worst bands ever to walk the face of the earth , Ringo was busy making crap solo albums and appearing on every novelty album going.Harrison`s solo stuff was very hit & miss , mostly miss and people forget that Lennon`s career was on the slide from the mid 70s onwards.
Compared to some of the rubbish the ex Beatles knocked out in the 70s the Stones stuff stands up pretty well.
