Forty Licks - Rolling Stones (The) (CD 2005)

Best of the best of the Rolling Stones. A must for any music collection. They a lot more than 40 hits. They should be looking into a Forty Licks part 2. I bought it because I am a life-long Stones fan. This is my third copy of the CD. The first two wore out.

The CDs arrived in a timely manner. My British wife has been dancing to them ever since they arrived and I am afraid she is going to wear herself out if she doesn't take a break soon!

They are for sure in my top 5 of best bands of all-time. And currently they are my favorite (I go back and forth between them, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, sorry no Beatles, but I do like them). Sympathy For The Devil, Shattered, Beast of Burden, Wild Horses, the list goes on. The playing is superb, and the songwriting and longevity is unmatched. With 40 great songs, you can't go wrong. Since buying this 2 CD set, I've started buying their studio and live albums. It'll take me awhile, but it'll be worth it when I have them all. There are a few popular songs that aren't on this collection (most noteworthy to me: She's So Cold off of Emotional Rescue), but that's nitpicking. For the price and the product, this is a great deal.

It's definitely a great collection of songs. There are just some songs not included which I would have liked to see added on this CD. I would still recommend buying it.
