Hot Rocks is, IMO, the best intro, since practically every track is strong and enjoyable, and it's cheaper than the Singles Collection. As for albums, I think there's a reason that everyone is recommending Let It Bleed and Beggar's Banquet. Also, Sticky Fingers is as good and contains my favorite Stones track, one not found on those early compilations- Can't You Hear Me Knockin'.
It's a shame that a thread about the Stones has to involve bashing of hip-hop and rap. It's ironic that people are still treating it as a fad- the same way they did when rock 'n' roll and, say, the Stones came out.
I wonder if it's sad the day you realise you turn into your parents?
If anyone actually cares, I believe the difference between rap and hip-hop is that rap emphasise the lyrics more and can involve political and social messages or opinions, focusing on the rappers' skill, while hip-hop is more dance and party music, where the rhymes serve the music. Public Enemy might be more of a rap group while Salt-N-Peppa would be hip-hop. However, like everything in pop music these days, the lines are blurred more and more and they are basically the same thing, especially with the mainstream acts.
