The Stones, right before the change, of Between The Buttons and Their Satanic...where they struggled for their sound and identity, to regain it, with such future classics as Jumpin' Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man, Gimme Shelter etc, til the beginning of their downfall with Exile (3 great songs, and it makes all them stupid critic's lists).
This was the first album where the Stones wrote all their material, and what gems are contained here! They were never snottier, or more sexist! (hooray!) Mother's Little Helper is of course a classic; how more obnoxious can you get than with an opening line like "what a drag it is getting old"? Good drug song.
Stupid Girl! Ah, what a great song about a stuck-up, narcissistic woman.
An underrated classic, just like this album. Nobody seems to know how great this LP is, it's like an appendage to a greatest hits collection, to make your classic Stones collection complete.
Great lines here: "she purrs like a pussycat; then she turns around and hisses back" (must've been about a Scorpio chick!)
The whole song has such wonderful venomous lyrics!
Lady Jane -- a love song following that? nah, this is sarcasm at its best I feel. This is probably the most sonically stunning song on this superb remaster (sure sounds a lot better than my old German CD version). The interlude is positively beautiful.
Other highlights are Doncha Bother Me, the horny Going Home (Mick's building up steam there, determined, he's gonna be back, oh YEAH. Great bluesy number); Out Of Time (another great sexist song; the message: you're too late, b---h! your loss, clearly ["my poor DISCARDED baby"]); I Am Waiting (the saddest song here -- "stand of coming years, escalation fears, you will find out" -- sadder than the truth behind Mother's Little Helper); What To Do (super-catchy number); and of course, the piece de resistance of sexism, Under My Thumb.
What a classic song! While Social Distortion did a brilliant couple (okay, FOUR) cover versions with incredible venom, there's no need here; she's clearly just a "squirmy dog" who "does just what she's told" and, best of all this so-called conquerer of men who once had our protagonist down -- "the way she talks when she's spoken to" --YEAH!!!! Also, "her eyes are just kept to herself". This may be the greatest song ever!
For any guy who's been done wrong, this is YOUR song!
In fact, it's the way to BE!
It's like "Heart Of Stone", yknow?, except HERE the Stones MEAN it!
A vicious album; yet not angry in delivery: The Stones know who's boss. (60's rock stars!)
My fave Stones album easily, after this I'd say --well first you need at least "Hot Rocks" or something, a best-of, covering the 60's. Then this, and then, well, the merits of Got Live If You Want It is widely debated, but I think it's great, just give me the old stereo mix with just Mick's vocals and handclaps in the right channel, and the band in the left, and you've got the next best album.
I don't care less what they're doing now, they've been miserable for the most part after the 60s, although especially after It's Only Rock n Roll (and the incredible live period with Mick Taylor, their best guitarist ever, forget Richards next to HIM!). Plus, after Tattoo You, nothing by them is any good.
Their peak, really. From the best year in popular rock and roll music, 1966, coincidentally when the bands influenced by the Stones were legion.
Your best choice after a greatest hits for one of their 60s albums, much better than those that preceded it, or came after.

Greatest of one of the two greatest of all time

I can't speak for "most Stones fans," but this has been my favorite ever since I first got the vinyl hot off the press in '67. Why? "Paint It Black" is great! The UK version of this album didn't have it, and the song was not released in the UK until the 1971 compilation "Hot Rocks 1964-1971." Some of the other songs on the UK version of "Aftermath" came out on the US album "Flowers," another excellent record, which was generally considered a "compilation."I have to admit, I didn't mind shelling out $3.99 at the time for another Stones album! Both the Stones' and Beatles' UK albums generally had more songs per record, but I suspect sound quality suffered (you can put 20 songs on each side of a vinyl LP if you don't mind crappy sound). As it was, the US version of "Aftermath" filled each side of the record, indicating more well-defined grooves, which is one of the reasons most of the albums before CDs generally had only 10 to 12 songs. Now that they are on CDs, it matters little, but for nostalgic reasons, I still prefer this US version of "Aftermath"--both for the inclusion of "Paint It Black" and for the cool cover image.Another reason I love this album is that it marks the only Stones concert I ever attended, part of what was generally referred to as "The Aftermath Tour" at the time. It was July 26, 1966, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. A fantastic show that also featured The Jefferson Airplane. A good time was had by all!"Aftermath" is the greatest from one of the two greatest bands of all time: The Beatles and The Rolling Stones!
