The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (Top 500 Countdown Update)

If you have never listened to a Stones album, or if you want to own one to have in your collection this is the album to get. It is the most consistent album they ever made balancing their sound out better than any other. It is also a good album. The opening to "Gimme Shelter" pulls you into the album and it never really lets up finishing with "You Can't Always Get What You Want." In between these two wide open songs are very gritty blues/country/pop songs that are wonderful to listen to when in the right mood.
