How would you rate the Stones post-Tattoo You output?

Please tell me you mean there are 9 great songs on Fair Warning.

I think we all could have lived without "Sunday Afternoon in the Park".

And "One Foot Out the Door" has a shit hot solo, but not the apex of CVH by any stretch of the imagination.

Come on man, smoke a little mother earth and give Sunday Afternoon a re-listen! I've always considered it part of One Foot Out the Door anyway.

It's not bad, but it's a let down from the quality of the rest of the album.

If FW had had lost those two songs, and had had THREE more great songs on it - maybe even with a little acoustic diversion like "Could This Be Magic?" - it would have ranked even higher as a classic than the first album.

What really would have been cool is if they ever started the album with the second half of "Growth."

Now that would have kicked ass.

I think they did alright with the intro to "Mean Streets"..!

Voodoo lounge hands down.

I go back one album to "Some Girls" as the last decent every song belongs Rolling Stones album. I thought there was some shit on "Tattoo You". Over all, I'd have to say every release since then has its moments but and I've bought them all on cd. I choose to make my own mix cds of theirs and there are some post "Some Girls" stuff on it. I think "Saint of Me" is right up there with "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Stray Cat Blues".

My personal faves are "Let It Bleed", "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street". Every song a classic.
