I can remember after having the album for about a year making a point of finally trying to listen to it uninterrupted from end to end and even then I think I lasted no more than 25 minutes, if that, that's when I knew it was time to part company with it

Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
Don't get all the fuss about this at all. Like Tumblin' Dice, but much of the rest of it sounds half-arsed. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers are miles better imo. Actually, I prefer It's Only Rock'n'Roll, too.>>
I think the best Stones album, and one of the best rock albums, is contained WITHIN Exile.. but then there's like 10 other tracks ha..

The Beatles - Rubber Soul (just for the people who like it so much better than Revolver or say it's their best ever)
-Sgt. Pepper's (NOT a classic..just a solid album)
Rolling Stones - any of their actual ALBUMS, they were more of a 'songs' band for me
Bob Dylan - most of his stuff..just haven't got into him yet..I'm sure it will happen someday though
Cluster - early stuff..I only have ''71' and 'II' and they're interesting and have their moments but that's all..
I can agree about 'Marquee Moon' because the second side isn't as good as the first..
Zeppelin, Henrix and post-Syd Floyd are all overrated though of course they have their moments.
As for 'Pet Sounds' the only thing I can say is that it's not flawless, but the great songs on it are so great that you don't mind the songs that are 'merely good' i.e. "Here Today' or 'I'm Waiting For The Day'. It could have also used a few up-tempo tracks about cars and girls imo.

Wasn't Allan Holdsworth in the band at some point?
