 Still the best early Stones compilation December 29, 2004
Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Spanning the first seven years of the Stones' recording career, "Hot Rocks" includes almost every song the casual fan could want from that period.
It doesn't include their earliest blues and R&B covers, which is a shame, but once you're hooked I'm sure you can find the money to go out and get the Stones' first four LPs anyway ;-)
But look at what is here: "Satisfaction", "Heart Of Stone", "Honky Tonk Women", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Brown Sugar", "Sympathy For The Devil" and many, many more. This is truly the cream of the crop.
This excellent, well annotated and expertly sequenced compilation presents the Rolling Stones' early singles in warm, three-dimensional and tremendously realistic 21st century fidelity. Get "Hot Rocks" and "Jump Back: The Best Of The Rolling Stones 1971-1993" and you'll have a much better career overview than with the good-but-not-great 2002 box set "Forty Licks".
if you want one collection of the Stones, get this one April 20, 2005

this covers all their greatest stuff, and is really all you need if you aren't a hardcore fan. I wouldn't call myself a real Rolling Stones fan, but I do enjoy the classic songs on here like "paint it black" and "satisfaction," among others. ideal if you are new to the band, though you have likely heard of them before (they must be the most famous band in the history of rock, no?) yes, definetily get it. I know that the Stones always have released mediocre live material, but the live tracks on here are extremely good, all 2 of them. There's not that much I can say about the Stones; I like most of the music, but in general I don't dig the band that much. If you are like me, this one is for you.
perfect for the casual stones fan January 29, 2006

If you're like me, then your one of those people who understand why the Rolling Stones are so great, but you won't go out and buy every one of their albums. This album is perfect for you if you're like that. It is essentially a greatest hits album. It contains all their greatest hits from 1964-71, which is basically a greatest hits of all time from them. A hardcore stones fan would argue that, but for someone like me, its perfect. This album contains all the songs that you would hear on the radio, even some that you may not hear. Be sure to get this one, it's a must have for any fan of rock.
simply amazing September 27, 2006

i remember getting my first cd player for christmas when i was 14 with it i got a cd carrying various classic cd's, this cd was one of them. to tell the truth i have been listing to the stones since i was 5, and i knew then i like the way they sounded. being a kid i hadn't a clue about the various styles they played, but as i grew older and started appreciating music as a whole i relized that these guys will always be remebered as the bes of the best. Ever since i got this cd, i have listened to it over and over, i am 24 now and for the first time i am going to see them live. this set cements the fact that what ever these guys touch, turns to gold. stripped is a shining example of what a comp cd should be, most comp cd's just touch on a bands greatnes, only having one or two hits and the rest the dregs of thier worst cd's. don't get me wrong it's good to hear the less played songs, some the stones best stuff is hardly ever played o nthe radio, over all this is a must have in any cd collection

What a disaster!!! How could anyone like this lousy rock band? They have sold more than 20 lame albums and they most surely could not make good music at all. Mick Thornten,the lead singer just screams,can't sing,sounds more like baby just like Robert Plant. Keith Richmond is what I call the worst guitar player in the world,never took lessons,always out of tune,and only two string power chords. Willie Whatts is the worst drummer ever, he never could drum as good as Lars Ulrich(Metallica drummer). They even have put up some of the even more lousiest and worst songs ever made like Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, Get Off My Cloud, and Sympathy For The Devil. Even a Green Day CD has better music than this!
Ignore the previous 5 star reviewers below and avoid this lousy compilation. Get SULTANS OF SWING:THE VERY BEST OF DIRE STRAITS insted.
