The Rolling Stones' 1967 recordings are a matter of some controversy; many critics felt that they were compromising their raw, rootsy power with trendy emulations of the Beatles, Kinks, Dylan, and psychedelic music. Approach this album with an open mind, though, and you'll find it to be one of their strongest, most eclectic LPs, with many fine songs that remain unknown to all but Stones devotees. The lyrics are getting better (if more savage), and the arrangements more creative, on brooding near-classics like "All Sold Out," "My Obsession," and "Yesterday's Papers." "She Smiled Sweetly" shows their hidden romantic side at its best, while "Connection" is one of the record's few slabs of conventionally driving ock.

It's a funny thing with The Rolling Stones. They're always there like a giant dam, fixed and unmoving, with little need to prove its own existence. It's undeniable, powerful, awe-inspiring, and for that reason, easy to overlook as the years go by, because its presence is so damn obvious. But, is it really?I recently dumped my entire iTunes library into an archived folder and took a vow only to ...
