From Wab-Bab-Ez-Z-Gab'm Greg Kott and I'm Jim Deregadis. Though it was originally panned by many critics, the Rolling Stones' 1972 album, Exile on Main Street, is now considered a masterpiece.

Up next, a classic album dissection of Exile, a recording that's still shrouded in mystique 45 years later. I'm going to send another to you.

I'm not to tell my news.

It's gonna be the death of my own day.

Plus, we examine the lasting influence of exile on Main Street for generations of

musicians ever since. That's all coming up on sound opinions.

You're listening to sound opinions, I'm Jim Deregadis. He is Greg Kott. And if you listen to the show, you know that from time to time we do a classic album dissection, digging deep into a record that we both consider a classic and

Greg it is nothing less than astounding that well we've talked about the

Rolling Stones quite a bit we've never done a Stones album yeah it's amazing

isn't it and there's only one to do, exile on Main Street. Heard the disease of coming. Oh, down the line.

Oh, down the line.

Oh, hurt the versus the Rolling Stones. It wasn't our idea. It's kind of hokey. But we had fun with it. It was a back and

forth comparing these two bands that arguably were the most important groups in the world

throughout the 60s. The Beatles break up and the

stones don't have that pushback anymore from another artist that is always pushing

them higher. There's that competition throughout the 60s. from another

artist that is always pushing them higher.

In the studio, on stage, both bands making the other better.

Where are we at in 1972?

The Stones formed in 62. Where are we at in 1972?

The Stones formed in 62.

They're a decade into a career.
