The bands next three albums are, while shorter than 'Exile', every bit as delicious, and in the same spirit of experimentation with the sounds of the day visa vis older American musical forms. And the exact same can be said for their proceeding three albums.

Exile's great, obviously, but a whole myth has grown up around it since probably the early '90s which gives it this iconic status which it certainly didn't have 'til then, and tries to overshadow their other work of that era and shortly after. Myths always contain both truth and bollocks.

'Beggars Banquet' to 'Black and Blue' are ALL indispensible in my book, and for the same - MUSICAL - reasons, and to the same ends.

This is absolutely true. I'm not even fucking sure how this happened, but it does annoy me, since I remember people giving me blank fucking stares when I'd talk about the genius of Exile (or, indeed, even Keith Richards, who no one knew about or respected even when Talk Is Cheap came out).

I blame Johnny Depp.

No, Exile, will never be repeated or beat!
It Stands alone.
The Bands masterpiece.
IMO, I remember when I first heard it and Thought It just will not stop getting better. From beginning to end, I thought that then And still think that now.
I agree with the hunger and the "don't give a shit attitude"
The time of the release the way things were, and the way things are, so different and so much alike. No IMO in my and our generations eyes, it will not ever happen again. Miss you was close but no cigar, actually not even that close, it was just new fans discovering what we already knew.
The Band an any band "making it", actually screws up the formula.
Tryin to recapture the feel and the attitude of something is useless, Next!

Exile, to me, essentially sounds like an expanded album of Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers outtakes. Which it largely was.
Still wonderful, but hardly a unique progression stylistically for the Stones at the time. There's just more of it. Probably why it wasn't well received at the time.

It's certainly no stylistic leap like London Calling was.

Throw every myth out the window and Exile is still a better collection of songs than the three albums that came after it.

Not to downplay those LPs, I love em, but they dont come close to the scale of Exile.
