 (18 Customer Reviews)
Still inspired by their STICKY FINGERS recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, EXILE ON MAIN STREET found the Rolling Stones sounding more like a Southern fried juke-joint band than ever before. That EXILE was recorded in a basement is ... Full Descriptionno surprise, either--much of it sounds as if it was recorded live at a gospel revival, with a final mix that gives no hierarchy to specific instruments. The result is a swampy, most exhilarating chunk of rock & roll euphoria.
EXILE sharpens the country, blues, and gospel tendencies the Stones began exploring in the late '60s on albums like BEGGAR'S BANQUET. Here, armed with an assortment of backing musicians and vocalists, the band virtually inhabits the spirit of each style, distilling the whole to a ragged, soulful perfection. From the escalating, horn-driven vamps of "Rocks Off" through the back porch singalong "Sweet Virginia" to the mean blues stomp of "Ventilator Blues" and the church-like strains of "Shine a Light," EXILE's double-album length plays like a weary, boozed-up sermon on the very meaning of rock music. This is the closest the band ever came to religion, and it still has the power to convert.

Rolling Stone (7/6/72, p.54) - "...continual topping of one's self can only go on for so long, after which one must sit back and sustain what has already been built. And with EXILE the Stones have chosen to sustain for the moment..." -Lenny Kaye
Q (6/00, p.91) - Ranked #3 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...The Stones were at their most creative. The music simply flowed. The sound that emerged was dirty, sexy, soulful, f&#!ed-up and funky....a dizzy peak which the Stones never scaled again..."

classic
you can't argue with taking an already amazing album and making the sound more amazing.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of the best albums ever
This album represents the Stones at their full potential. To quote another review on this album and I think it's accurate-this is an album that can be played late on a Saturday night and on an early Sunday morning.
You will find ballads, blues, and rock on this masterpiece with each listen revealing more.

For those poor souls who can't seem to comprehend the greatness of this album, it is because they don't understand that every song on an album doesn't have to be a bestseller to be great. Exile is the devil's cojones of early 70's rock. The Stones albums thereafter declined in quality, and they have never created such art since. They have had some other great moments, however. This is likely the closest to the pure essence of blues and rock that white boys from London will ever achieve.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 50's Rock/Blues/Western/Soul, What MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
Rumours are that "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street" are the two greatest Stones albums ever. So sure, enough, I'd do what any fan would do, and buy the albums:
Let me tell you,
This album is incredible. I'll admit, like some of the other reviews, that yes, there are some tracks that are slightly bland, but the majority of the album is intense.The standout tracks are:
"All Down The Line"
"Tumbling Dice"
"Rocks Off"
Do yourself a favour and pick this up today!!!
(P.S.- far better than Sticky Fingers)

HISTORY BOOK 1 contains one disc of Jackson's greatest hits and one disc of all-new songs. It features a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.
HISTORY BOOK 1 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. "You Are Not Alone" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and the Michael Jackson-Janet Jackson duet "Scream" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Michael Jackson's monumental collection HISTORY BOOK 1 seeks to make two points. The first disc--chock full of hits spanning Jackson's Epic Records solo career--tries to establish how the so-called King of Pop earned that nickname in the first place; the second disc, featuring fifteen new, star-studded tracks, makes a case for him holding onto that ...

Rather, "I Hate My Generation," the blast of garage-rock that opens Cracker's third ...
