DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "Often the Stones sound like they've been on a three-day bender filled with groupies, drugs, booze, mayhem and madness -- and that's when they're on top of their game. This collection is a crazy, bluesy, raw, wild, gritty and uninhibited work of rock and roll genius. Most civilians will know this album from FM staples like \"Tumbling Dice\" and \"Happy,\" but the more visceral tracks make this something to behold. Consider the party-hearty exuberance of \"Rip This Joint,\" the lustful rhythms of \"Shake Your Hips,\" the roadhouse debauchery of \"Turd On The Run\" and the pass-that-bottle-around gleefulness of \"Sweet Virginia.\" There is a Southern-fried element to the entire album, as if this is one big Valentine to all the American blues, country and gospel greats who influenced and inspired Mick and the boys.";

DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "The gold standard for many Stones' buffs, this contains three of the band's most beloved signature hits, \"Gimme Shelter,\" \"Midnight Rambler\" and \"You Can't Always Get What You Want,\" all of which can be found in indelible ink on most of their concert playlists. But a cover of Robert Johnson's \"Love In Vain\" is an unforgettable entry in their vast blues catalog, and \"Monkey Man\" is a riveting bit of drug-fueled lunacy. Guitarist Brian Jones died during the making of this album, and Mick Taylor, who eventually succeeded him, filled in on some tracks. The acoustic \"You Got The Silver\" is the first time Keith Richards took over lead vocals. This was released in late November/early December of 1969. On December 6, 1969, the Stones gave a free concert at Altamont Speedway  in California, where a fan was killed by a Hell's Angel. The event was chronicled in the Maysles brothers' documentary \"Gimme Shelter,\" giving \"Let It Bleed\" an unexpected boost of infamy.";

DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "\"Paint it Black! Paint it Black! Paint It Black, you devil!\" Alas, the young lady's pleas go for naught, although she does get a devil of another kind as the electric strumming opens \"Sympathy For The Devil.\" Recorded at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 28, 1969 -- eight days before Altamont -- this is arguably the greatest live album by a single band ever released. (Note: Some of the tracks were later overdubbed from different shows on that tour.) Besides \"Sympathy,\" featuring an absolutely perfect solo guitar indulgence by Mick Taylor, there is also an uber rascally version of \"Midnight Rambler,\" a dazzling opener in \"Jumpin' Jack Flash\" (after road manager Sam Cutler introduces them to the crowd with \"Keep cool, have a fantastic time, the greatest rock and roll band in the world, the ROLLING STONES!\") and the wanton lure of \"Stray Cat Blues\" (\"There'll be a feast if you just come upstairs\"). Mick connects with the crowd (\"I think I popped a button on my trousers, I hope they don't fall down. You wouldn't want my trousers to fall down now, would you?\") and the band has never been tighter onstage.";

DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "\"Brown Sugar\" and \"Wild Horses\" were designed for long-term radio play, and they've received it. Now, unfortunately, they're played. But the delight of this album -- the first studio work that had the contributions of Mick Taylor for the duration -- is in the confluence of blues, rock and country, and the raunchy '70s feel illustrated on the lesser known selections. As songwriters, the Stones struck the perfect chords for the time period. Cuts like \"Sister Morphine\" (Marianne Faithful, then Jagger's girlfriend, wrote the lyrics in 1968 but didn't get a songwriting credit until 30 years later), \"Bitch,\" \"Sway\" and \"Moonlight Mile\" all resonate with decadent charm. \"You Got To Move\" is not a great song, but it's a classic cocktail of drunken blues that works beautifully here. Perhaps the high water mark of \"Sticky Fingers\" is the lengthy \"Can You Hear Me Knocking,\" of which the first half is a jagged guitar rocker and the second segues into a jazzy jaunt highlighted by Bobby Keys' energetic saxophone. Another must-have.";

DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "This is the Stones' finest effort of their second half. Granted, their second half has lasted a heck of a lot longer than anyone ever expected. But there were the legendary albums of the '60s and early '70s, and then there is everything after that. \"Some Girls\" is regarded as their best album since \"Exile\" came out six years before. This is a back-to-basics effort, although unlike other highly successful predecessors it doesn't wallow in a drug-induced haze. \"Respectable\" is about as pure a rock and roll song as they've ever recorded, with delicious lyrics (\"You're a rag trade girl, you're the queen of porn, you're the easiest lay on the White House lawn\"). \"Beast of Burden\" is a playful, bouncy FM hit. Three songs -- the disco-y \"Miss You,\" the lurid \"When The Whip Comes Down\" and the voyeuristic \"Shattered\" -- serve as a satirical homage to New York City. And the faux country ditty, \"Far Away Eyes,\" rounds out the stylistic smorgasbord nicely.";

DiscDebate_RollingStones[i-1].body = "It's hard to pick a dud from their early days, because they were young and still finding themselves by covering popular rock and blues hits. And it isn't fair to choose a dud from recent years because, let's face it, they get a lot of credit just for being able to stand up. So I'll have to go back nearer to their heyday and pick \"Undercover\" from 1983. The single \"Undercover of the Night\" is a fabulous and inspired cut, right up there with their \"A\" stuff. But the rest of the album is a tepid mishmash of kink, decadence and negativity. It might have something to do with the fact that around these sessions in Nassau, the Bahamas, they really couldn't stand each other and there were rumors the Rolling Stones were about to call it quits. We all know how that turned out.";
