Flowers (1967)They make a compilation of some stuff that we haven't heard before (as well as a few things we have heard before. It's classic Stones, just the same and, ya know, that's all that really matters! Overall Album Score: 9.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 9.4

Let it Bleed (1969)The Rolling Stones take this country-rock and take it to ... well ... gargantuan heights! This is one of the most significant classics of rock and roll history! Spotless. Overall Album Score: 10plus out of 10 Average Song Score: 10

Sticky Fingers (1971)Hey! Not everyone can make a follow-up album to Let it Bleed that's ...... Sticky Fingers.

Exhile on Main St. (1972)Hey! The Rolling Stones just completed two of the most wonderful examples of 'rock classics,' so I guess that means that they should make a double album to exploit these songwriting highs, or something. ... I think not! Overall Album Score: 7.9 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.3

Goats Head Soup (1973)It's way far from being the utter crap-fest everyone and their dogs seem to claim it as being. But Goats Head Soup is sub-par for The Stones! Overall Album Score: 8.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.7

It's Only Rock'N'Roll (1974)Oh man ... Is this album *blah* or what? Instead of listening to this, go give Let it Bleed a re-listen. Overall Album Score: 7.5 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.1

Black and Blue (1976)Hey! This album is pretty good! ... I mean, it's not the greatest Stones album on the planet ... Heck, it's not even the greatest Stones album in the universe, but it's only rock'n'roll, and I like it! ... No, shoot, that was their last album, wasn't it? Well the songs on this one are good, too. Most of them are better, even, in fact. Yes. It's true. I've heard it. Overall Album Score: 8.5 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.4

Some Girls (1978)"Some Girls" is about the only thing that I might like better than this album! This is one danged polished piece of pop! They've adopted a new sound (namely punk and disco), but in a way, they're back to their old selves again. Overall Album Score: 9.0 out of 10 Average Song Score: 9.1

Emotional Rescue (1980)Like a dream, I've already forgotten Emotional Rescue. I'd might as well. I still want to *like* this band, thank you! Overall Album Score: 6.0 out of 10 Average Song Score: 6.6

Tattoo You (1981)The Rolling Stones gather a bunch of rejects from their old albums and come up with ... a minor Rolling Stones classic!!! That's really cool, I say. Overall Album Score: 8.5 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.6

Undercover (1983)Pure 80s. Pure evil. Overall Album Score: 7.3 out of 10 Average Song Score: 7.8

Bridges to Babylon (1997)...A weakish album from The Rolling Stones. It still has many good merits to it, though. Overall Album Score: 7.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 7.7

A Bigger Bang (2005)Is this album title an egotistical thing or a sex pun? Or both? ... Do I have a sick MIND? Overall Album Score: 8.6 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.9

The Rolling Stones Live: A Bigger Bang TourIt's true! For some crazy weird reason The Rolling Stones put on a show at my college campus in the Middle of Nowhere, USA (i.e. Wichita, KS). I am not only still surprised that they even came to Wichita, but I'm still crazy-shocked that I managed to see them. ... And how Mick Jagger can still tirelessly jump around stage is a feat in itself... Overall Concert Score: WHOAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Link to the full review:
