I love the Stones, but I think there is still decent music out there being made. I don't how to put it any other way but that you have to turn over a few stones so to speak to find them. Leave no stone unturned when looking for a new band, no pun intended. I found plenty but then again some of them are broken up.

All the albums from Beggars Banquet to Exile were great. That was the golden era, imo.

From Goats Head Soup, the ballad Angie comes to mind.

Which is the best GREATEST HITS collection album that the Stones have put out?
We have High Tide And Green Grass (big hits), Through The Past Darkly, Stone Age, Hot Rocks, Mile Stones, More Hot Rocks, No Stone Unturned, Metamorphosis, Made In The Shade, Rolled Gold (The very best of the Rolling Stones), Time Waits For No One, Solid Rock, Slow Rollers, Sucking In The Seventies, Story Of The Stones, Rewind, Singles Collection, Jump Back (best of the Rolling Stones), Forty Licks, Rarities 1971-2003, Grrr.
As you can see the Rolling Stones have been regurgitating their songs through out the past 45 years so it may be hard to pick just one album..................

3 of those listed aren't even Greatest Hits albums.

And you missed The London Years, the only one I own.

I'm no Stones fan, but I don't mind putting on Hot Rocks every once in a while.

Perfect now that we have that out of the way would you like to contribute to the conversation by offering your opinion on which of the greatest hits album is the best..........

I've been known to call the Stones boring before, and haven't been able to get into them to date. But, since we're listening to Incense and Peppermints in the Psychlub, I thought I'd revisit some other '67 psych classics. After listening to The Doors, Sgt. Pepper's, and Forever Changes, I thought I'd give Their Satanic Majesties Request a spin for the first time. And damned if I don't kinda like it. Especially "She's a Rainbow".

Did they release any other albums like it, and if so, what should I listen to next? I've already heard Exile, Beggars Banquet, and Let it Bleed, in addition to the greatest hits.

Nope, but next listen to Between the Buttons from that same year.

The Mick Taylor/Jimmy Miller stuff is essential.

Incredible that it took a group of skinny white British dudes to perfectly meld together American blues, gospel, and rock & roll into a perfect blend. This is one of the greatest songs ever.

Face it the Rolling Stones are going to be talked about until the earth ceases to exist.
