Syrinx Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Wow only mentioned in passing unless I missed it. In my opinion The Stones from Beggars Banquet to Some Girls is pretty much unmatched! I'm not sure I'd call It's Only Rock And Roll great. Haven't heard Black And Blue. While I personally enjoy both, I don’t think they’re on par with what came before them. Or Some Girls.I hear you. But having been going through a Stones marathon of listening later, I might put Its Only R&R as most under-rated Stones album. Really Mick Taylor influenced. I personally love it!

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 "Great" is such a relative word. I haven't read the entire thread, but thought it would be fun to just run through some of the obvious acts.. Rush's run from 2112 to Moving Pictures is a run of 5 truly great albums. Signals is not in that category IMO. Pink Floyd had a run of 4 great albums Dark Side through the Wall Black Sabbath had Paranoid through Sabotage, which is 5, but I'm not sure if I'd call Master of Reality great. Led Zeppelin only had 2 albums I'd call great but no doubt I'm in the minority of that opinion I saw Van Halen from Debut to 1984 mentioned, but Women and Children First and Diver Down are 'meh' for me Aerosmith had a great run from Get Your Wings to Rocks, but that's just 3. Is Draw the Line great? I dunno The Who from Tommy to Quadrophenia is 3... Metallica with Ride the Lightning through the Black Album is 4 The Beatles had a great run from Rubber Soul through Abbey ROad. I think that's 5? No doubt I missed some, but not surprisingly I'd go with Rush's run as THE best with honorable mention to The Beatles and Black Sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd place it way behind the debut, Fly By Night, and Signals to be honest. It's dwarfed by Master of Reality, Women and Children First and Diver Down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
