The Rolling Stones - Out of Our Heads (Top 500 Countdown Update)
This is a solid album from the Stones. There aren't really any throw away songs and there are 6 original songs on this album, their most up to this point, and they are definitely the best songs on the album. When you listen to this album, the bands 5th, it's hard to imagine they are going to get any better at this clangy R&B/blues stuff they do without branching their sound out further. One sign of what is to come is "Play With Fire" a stripped down original song that is much more rock based than R&B and has a dark, sinister feel to it. Of the early Stones stuff I've heard this album is by far the best.
