Claude says:Exile on Main St is the Stones at their most wrecked and democratic, 1972's sprawling double album where they sound less like rock royalty than a blues-steeped road band crammed into a basement—every track gets its moment. You caught it in 2012-13 and rotated through the whole thing evenly, never pinning down a favorite, which feels exactly right for a record designed to feel like someone's bootleg collection rather than a statement.
