Trying to figure out my favourite Stones album was something like searching for a needle among great, huge haystacks.... anyway I ended up with the most influential as far as music seem to evolve under my own prism... the record begins with "Brown Sugar". A song that Stones used to play live at the back of a van during their early attempts to promote their music over the Atlantic...just like the old blues legends used to do... as of course is understood, bands like the Stones didn't need to try any harder than that.

The record continues with songs like "Sway", "Sister", "Morphine", "Dead Flowers"... indeed many people tried to copy the Rolling Stones vibe and ability to transmit their music so widely between the masses from punks, rockers, hippies, folk music funs and blues lovers, to politicians, yappies and generally to other influential people of which the musical opinion is worthless. 

Everybody has at some point or another listened to the Stones and that is their magic. The bible of all stoner rock has to be a Rolling Stones record!
