Hey, no problem at all. I just tend to think of virtually all the early-mid 60s "albums" as collections of 3 minute "hits", nuthin' wrong with that. I normally don't ever buy "collections", but "Hot Rocks" (my first real exposure as a youngin' - 8 track circa '71) was available first on CD, so being a Stones fan, of course I had to have it. "Some Girls" was recorded all at once after Keef's bust up in Canada...my comment was really about "Tattoo You" released a couple of years later...it was not a compilation of earlier stuff like Hot Rocks, but was a "collection" of songs from various recording sessions over the previous years, as in they didn't go into the studio for that one. Thanks for the trek down memory lane...
For the OP, a few of my favorite albums, somewhat in the order they were released:
Hot Rocks (compilation of 60s hit singles)
Let It Bleed
Beggar's Banquet
Exile on Main Street (favorite)
Some Girls
Lot's of others are "close", but that's a starter list...heck, I like ALL of the Mick Taylor period, and Ronnie's first "Black & Blue" don't suck, and....well hell I'm just a Stone's fan...part of the soundtrack of my youth
