Balls Deep in the Stones

Excuse the vulgar phrase but it really has described my summer so far. I am currently at the very end of Keith Richards' Life, which has been wildly entertaining. I have had dreams about dating Keith Richards, which has been a little scary and to top it all of I have been listening to some of their various albums over and over and over...so! to celebrate my Stones Summer I would like to share my favorite albums and those songs on the albums...Let's do my top 3, because top 3 lists clarify everything I need to say in a punctual, organized manner.

1. Exile On Main St.

This album ROCKS. Written in a summer the Stones spent in the Mediterranean (for tax reasons) it is all together a ridiculously joyful album.
Here are some of the bests on a great album:
Rocks Off-When the music climaxes and Mick Jagger shouts "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me!" At that moment you'll never be more excited to listen to the rest of an album. AND THE HORNS. They just make you so happy! Which brings me to...
Happy- Keith just randomly wrote this song in one night when he was just hanging out with some of the guest musicians on the album. They got it in something like four takes, one night. And when the rest of the band heard it, it didn't need any changes, because this is one of those great songs that just comes from a night of spontaneous great music from rock geniuses.
Tumbling Dice- This is actually one of my favorite songs. The background singers make it for me, its soulful.
