Customer Rating: Summary: hot rocks 1964 to 1971 rolling stones Comment: I am a baby boomer and grew up with the 60's music the rolling stones to me were only 2nd to the Beatles.I've always been a music lover since I was a kid.. Customer Rating: Summary: i.e. The Very Best Of.... Comment: This is some of the best rock and roll music ever made and it is all you need if you want to hear The Rolling Stones' greatest music. This is music made when they were a great band and not obscenely rich corporate shills that rock out for aging, middle class and yuppie baby boomers --while sticking it to the people with absurdly high ticket prices, all for the glory of their lost youth and Budweiser or whoever the corporate god is to whom they pay tribute on that particular tour. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant music better heard elsewhere Comment: Between 1964 and 1971, the Rolling Stones made some of the most un-friggin'-believable rock `n' roll music of all time. Their raw, sweaty fusion of blues, country, soul, and rock, all of it united under Mick Jagger's sullen grimace and Keith Richards' (not to mention Brian Jones'!) barnburning guitar work gave the world of popular music that raucous kick in the drawers that it had been craving since Elvis was drafted and Chuck Berry went to prison (hey, four years is a long time in rockworld!). Their music was full of anger and sex, full of joy and singalong catharsis and booze-soaked attitude, and it positively ruled. And this collection aims to sum that sound up. If you're just getting introduced to the `Stones, it presents itself as a pretty darn good introduction: It's got a lot of the big hits ("Satisfaction," "Time Is On My Side," "Under My Thumb," etc.) in one place, with cool cover art to boot. If you're a beginner, it allows you to temporarily sidestep their first few albums, which a lot of people think are spotty and inconsistent. Plus, it has a few songs that were only released as singles, never appearing on a proper album, such as "Honky Tonk Woman." Good deal, right? Well, sure, it's a very good deal. If you're a beginner, you should pick this up. I mean, there's no such thing as a bad album that has "Get Off Of My Cloud" or "Heart Of Stone" on it. But here's the thing: This album doesn't have "The Last Time." Or "Not Fade Away." Or "Tell Me." Or "It's All Over Now." Those are all fantastic songs, and no aspiring `Stones fan should be without them (especially "The Last Time." Excluding that song was a stunningly weird idea). You know what collection does have those songs on them, though? Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass). It's a single disc collection that brings together a bunch of the stuff from their first few albums. It doesn't cover as wide a period as this collection, but a lot of the songs on Hot Rocks come from albums like Beggar's Banquet and Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers, and nobody thinks that those records are spotty. Nobody who counts, anyway. You're gonna wanna get those albums early on, so getting a collection with songs from those albums is a bit redundant. Just a thought. So, this album is full of great music, and if you're getting introduced to the Rolling Stones, you'll probably like it a lot. I recommend getting the Big Hits record, though. After that, pick up Aftermath, Beggar's Banquet, et al. Have fun! (If you like good music, you certainly will) Customer Rating: Summary: 1964-71: The Golden Age of The Rolling Stones. Comment: Who says you can't squeeze money out of a Stone? While Goats Head Soup is one of my five favorite Stones' albums, many fans (including me) argue that with its funkier sound the 1972 album marked the end of The Golden Age of the Rolling Stones. Hot Rocks 1964-1971 is the first compilation album of Rolling Stones, and provides a retrospective of the Stones when they were at their best (in my opinion). Released in late 1971 while they were recording Sticky Fingers on their own label, Hot Rocks remains The Rolling Stones' biggest-selling release of their entire career. I have two small complaints about Hot Rocks. First, due to the limitations of how much music you could put on a piece on vinyl, Decca/ABKCO Records was forced to omit several of the Stones' best songs from the double album. Second, Hot Rocks was never authorized by The Rolling Stones and represents their former manager, Allen Klein's success at squeezing more money out of the Stones. Classic tracks include: 1. Time Is On My Side 2. Heart Of Stone 3. Play With Fire 4. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 5. As Tears Go By 6. Get Off Of My Cloud 7. Mother's Little Helper 8. 19th Nervous Breakdown 9. Paint It, Black 10. Under My Thumb 11. Ruby Tuesday 12. Let's Spend the Night Together Disc: 2 1. Jumpin' Jack Flash 2. Street Fighting Man 3. Sympathy For the Devil 4. Honky Tonk Women 5.

Editorial Reviews: It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. Hot Rocks is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside Big Hits, High Tide and Green Grass and Through the Past Darkly. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. From "Time is on My Side" through "Satisfaction" and "Let's Spend the Night Together," on to Sticky Fingers's "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses," Hot Rocks never lets up. The likes of Sucking in the '70s and Jump Back come and go, but this Stones overview will not be moved. --Steven Stolder
