funny, Sev, you mention Satanic as part of the classic period. fun to hear them attempt something like that whle still being the Stones. usually people start with Jumpin Jack Flash or Beggar's to describe that era. to each their own I gues.

Yeah I know it's not considered part of their classic run by most Stones purists (or pop culture in general) but fuck it, I love that record. Some great tunes on that one, and I think it's where they kicked things up. An obviously snarky nod to the Beatles, in whose shadow the band lived for so long. It's part of the Stones taking ownership of their identity and legacy.
Plus, "Citadel" is incredible and "She's a Rainbow" is perfect. It was an influential record in its own right. The outsider's Sgt. Pepper, or whatever. Inspiring tons of great bands from the Flaming Lips to the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
