I would also recommend Hot Rocks 1964-1971, as a good entry point to their music.
You really can't go wrong with any of their mid '60s to mid '70s albums, though.
A couple of mid '70s albums nobody's mentioned yet, 'It's Only Rock 'n Roll' and 'Black and Blue' are also worth a listen.

"A Bigger Bang" I thought was a great comeback

not many people are with me on this one, though

I have been following this thread, and trying to come up with some good suggestions. Being a huge Stones fan, it is hard to select just a few songs, although i agree with most all of the suggestions so far.

When you have nearly 50 years of recordings to choose from, it might make more sense to pick a decade to start with. My suggestion would be start with the 1970s, which i consider the decade that the Stones were truly the Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World.

Enjoy your listening.

Oh and if you want a good bootleg.... Philadelphia 72.

They were on fire during that tour, Stevie Wonder shows up for a couple of tunes too.

I'm with you again. It's an absolute great album. Songs like ''Rain Fell Down'', ''Streets of Love'' and ''Rough Justice'' are fabulous. I love their both 90s albums, especially Bridges to Babylon.

Oh yeah I love that album, it kept the essence of the Stones but with a modern feel added in.

I wouldn't bother with albums, the Stones were a radio band so its the hit singles and other fine releases you want to check out. This should cover it.

I can't get no satisfaction
Under my thumb
Paint it black
Sympathy for the devil
Ruby Tuesday
Jumpin Jack Flash
Shelter
Brown Sugar
Honky Tonk Woman
Wild Horses
You Can't always get what you want
Doo Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker
Angie
Its only rock n roll
Miss You
Beast of Burden
Shattered
Emotional Rescue
She's so Cold
Start me up
Waiting on a friend
Slave
Undercover in the night
The Harlem Shuffle.

Scroll through these, and you'll find some gems.

^ i do agree to an extent, its why i find their albums very inconsistent. Although Aftermath (US version) and Exile on Main St are essential albums, everything else by the stones i could take or leave.
