If I had to choose a favorite Stones album, it'd be Let It Bleed...but as far as the desert island scenario goes, I'd pick Sticky Fingers.
BTW, Far Away Eyes is on Some Girls.

Beggars Banquet is probably the most sound Rolling Stones album. It might not have all their wild hits but it's such a strong album. It doesn't deteriorate in the middle like Let It Bleed or Aftermath, and there are some genuinely infectious tunes on there. It opens with such clarity:

You're telling me Sympathy with the Devil doesn't have one of the catchiest basslines ever? And it's got some sweet backup vocals too...
