ANY of Dylan's first 20 albums are better than the Stones in their prime run. Take the Zimmy blinders off guy. I love Dylan but your argument would be a lot stronger if you just tried to be reasonable, like you were with that Beatles run of great discs. (Although I'd likely start earlier, with Help! and leave off Mystery Tour from your list). If you wanna take the classic Dylan foursome including Brining It all Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde (leave off Greatest Hits) and end with John Wesley Harding, fine. But you can't really mean 20 Dylan CDs. Have you heard Self-Portrait? Even Dylan hated that one. He only put it out to fulfill a contractual obligation to Columbia. Those Stones discs rock! I'd have had it higher on this list for sure. Bruce. c’mon, dude!! ANY of Dylan’s first 20 albums are better than the Stones in their prime run. Take the Zimmy blinders off guy.

The period of the band between the release of the 'Jumping Jack Flash' single (May 24,1968) to the end of the North American Exile tour (July 26th,1972) is the greatest sustained period in rock EVER by ANY band. This period included: 1.The release of the the greatest 4 consecutive studio albums in RandR history 2.The release of one of the greatest live albums (Get Yer Ya Ya's Out-1970) 3.The 1969 US tour, climaxing with the Altamont Free concert 4.The 1971 European tour 5.The 1972 North American tour 6.Release of the Gimmie Shelter documentary 7.The departure and death of the original leader of the band, Brian Jones 8.The addition of a new member, 20 year old Mick Taylor 9.The formation of Rolling Stones records It was this period of the band that gave birth to the term 'Sex,Drugs and Rock And Roll' This entry is far too low.

It is great to see this accomplishment so high on the list. I have always loved the stones and also believe these albums to be their greatest works.
