THE ALBUM OF THE DAYTHE ROLLING STONES...Beggars Banquet (1968)
Beggar's Banquet was released 45 years ago in 1968. It reached number 5 on the US Billboard album charts. First, let me just go ahead and say it gets 5 out of 5 stars and is extremely highly recommended. Opening with 'Sympathy For The Devil' followed by 9 more gems makes it one of the more popular Stones albums. It is heavily blues-influenced, with some magnificent slide guitar throughout the record. If you've never heard it check it out, soon!!
