Rock / Classic Rock / Blues Rock

This two-LP/two-CD set is both a lot more and a bit less than what it seems. It is seven years' worth of mostly very high-charting -- and all influential and important -- songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of the Rolling Stones' hits but of their evolving image. One hears them change from loud R&B-inspired rockers covering others' songs ("Time Is on My Side") into originators in their own right ("Satisfaction"); then into tastemakers and style-setters with a particularly decadent air ("Get Off of My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown"); and finally into self-actualized rebel-poets ("Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Midnight Rambler") and Shaman-like symbols of chaos. On its initial release, Hot Rocks sold well, not only as a unique compilation but also as a panorama of the 1960s. The only flaw was that it didn't give a good look at the Stones' full musical history, ignoring their early blues period and the psychedelic era. There are also some anomalies in Hot Rocks' history for the collector -- the very first pressings included an outtake of "Brown Sugar" featuring Eric Clapton that was promptly replaced; and the original European CD version, issued as two separate discs on the Decca label, was also different from its American counterpart, featuring a version of "Satisfaction" mastered in stereo and putting the guitars on separate channels for the first time. Those musicologist concerns aside, this is still an exciting assembly of material. tracklist: CD1 01 - Time Is On My Side 02 - Heart Of Stone 03 - Play With Fire 04 - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 05 - As Tears Go By 06 - Get Off Of My Cloud 07 - Mother's Little Helper 08 - 19th Nervous Breakdown 09 - Paint It, Black 10 - Under My Thumb 11 - Ruby Tuesday 12 - Let's Spend The Night Together CD2 01 - Jumpin' Jack Flash 02 - Street Fighting Man 03 - Sympathy For The Devil 04 - Honky Tonk Women 05 - Gimme Shelter 06 - Midnight Rambler (Live) 07 - You Can't Always Get What You Want 08 - Brown Sugar 09 - Wild Horses
