Rock N Roll

The two songs that most everyone knows from this album are “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” and “It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll (But I Like It)”. The other 8 songs are pretty good with the funniest being “Short And Curlies” which has the blusiest and piano vibe with the “got you by the balls” song often throughout the song.

A must listen album for any Stones fan.
