That's right, you could win Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock'n'Roll, Black And Blue, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bridges To Babylon and A Bigger Bang.
Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll and Black and Blue - originally released between 1971 and 1976 - were the albums which added substance to their boast to be the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world and still provide highlights of their invariably sold-out world tours.
The funky, and sometimes soulful, Goats Head Soup followed in '73 and is best remembered for the chart-topping Angie.
