The two hundred and seventieth album: #270 The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.
Given how I experienced them before, I found myself struggling to get into Exile on Main St. Considering this is the Stones' most acclaimed album, that's a weird situation, but I've always preferred their hard rock tracks over their blues or country rock and that's the music that mostly seems to be on display here. It took until Sweet Black Angel - a song with more bite both musically and lyrically - for the album to really pick up steam, which felt (almost) like a waste of time.
The album picks up after that, not dropping the blues influences but having more bite to it by that point that transfers better, having that 'weight' to it that the Stones bring to their blues tracks and that makes them sound so good. Even so, it feels best for me to ignore the hype - I don't think this is on top of the list as others do.
