Danny Saber and Don Was also garnered production credits, and no less than eight bass players endeavoured to lock down the bands bottom end.

From the moment they exploded from the sweaty, smoke-filled clubs of Londons visceral early sixties rhythmnblues scene, the Stones defined a hitherto unprecedented rebel sensibility thats since become accepted as an essential ingredient of all subsequent rock.

But it wasnt exclusively cavalier swagger, belligerent attitude, fearless ingestion of sundry intoxicants and an uncanny ability to tie superfluous scarves to their legs that earned the band their enviable reputation as the greatest rocknroll band in the world.

While The Beatles, under the enabling tutelage of George Martin, embraced strings, woodwind, piano-based melodies, Tin Pan Alley populism, music hall Englishness and European classical elements to create their blueprint for mainstream pop, the Stones remained true to their rnb roots by looking across the Atlantic for the raw materials of the music that we now recognise as rock.

Roughneck electric Chicago blues, booty-loosening soul syncopation, edgy urban funk and the righteous sedition of a burgeoning civil rights movement collided with the dustbowl-born, bourbon-soaked grit and painfully raw, blue collar emotions of country music as the Stones unified previously mutually exclusive genres against the political backdrop of a steadily dissolving racial divide.

Uncontaminated by the limiting baggage of segregational convention, the band swept across America voraciously accumulating new sounds and new styles at every truck-stop and juke joint that they encountered on the road.

Back in the studio they combined these elements to create a succession of career-defining albums - Beggars Banquet (68), Let It Bleed (69), Sticky Fingers (71), Exile On Main St.

America to Americana, the folk music that had existed under their very noses since time immemorial, and they loved them for it.

They still do. But theres far more to the Rolling Stones than this core quartet of releases, both before and since.

Their sixties hits never lose their potency, theyre still one of the greatest live bands ever to grace a stage and, beyond this lot there are enough bootlegs to keep you entranced until doomsday.

Some of their superior live recordings are being accorded official release via the bands website but there are countless others (along with TV appearances, radio sessions and studio out-takes) that are readily available by nefarious means and well worth a listen.

That withdrawn, contract-fulfilling Decca single Schoolboy Blues (AKA Cocksucker Blues ) with Andrews Blues on the flip Youve gotta hear that.

But in the meantime, theres this.

Enjoy. 27) Emotional Rescue (1980) Not so much avoid as buy last, Emotional Rescue marks the Stones ill-advised immersion in the world of disco.

Dance (Pt. 1) is right up there on the rotten front as well, which is a shame as it marks Ronnie Woods only writing credit alongside Jagger and Richards.

Some might say it sounds an awful lot like Led Zeppelins Trampled Underfoot That said, Keiths All About You is something of a classic and deserves better company.

Dirty Work (1986) Hobbled by a debilitating mid-80s production, Dirty Work finds the Stones in turmoil, Richards livid at Jagger for releasing Shes The Boss, his first solo album, and the pair barely speaking.

Charlie meanwhile was in the grip of unlikely mid-life addictions to heroin and booze.

Obviously its the Stones so its not without charm, but you have to look extremely hard for any.

Its single, a weary cover of Bob Earls Harlem Shuffle, is dispiritingly similar to Jaggers Dancing In The Street Live Aid Bowie duet.

On the plus side As its not for charity, you dont have to pretend to like it.

Steel Wheels (1989) Endeavouring to set animosity aside, Jagger and Richards set to work on a post- Dirty Work comeback that pretty much set a template for all that was to follow.

An album where the Stones largely rock out in familiar, even caricature style, theres a fragile Keith lead vocals to add country-tinged piratical whimsy to the mix and, production-wise, its hard not to notice that everything appears anchored to, and built around, Charlies snare.

And, of course, theres an accompanying tour, not least it seems, to test just how high a ticket price the contemporary market can take.

Continental Drift, their last great sonic experiment (featuring, with no little historic significance, the Brian Jones-favoured Master Musicians Of Jajouka) passed almost unnoticed, while the albums three accompanying singles all failed to make the UK top thirty.

Bridges To Babylon (1997) Its all very well being The Greatest Rock N Roll Band In The World but what do you do for your next trick On 1997s Bridges To Babylon the Stones elected to conjure up more of the same but different.

They experimented with sampling and Jagger - always with his eye on the contemporary - brought in The Dust Brothers to add some production magic.

Meanwhile, Keith always with his eye on Jagger brought in DylanBandClapton traditionalist Rob Fraboni to produce his tracks, an unprecedented three of which made the final cut.
