The band that proclaimed itself "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World" has long since represented rock's most overarching confluence of art and commerce--with a distinct emphasis on the latter in recent decades--a notion this 40-track, five-decade-spanning anthology can't completely escape. While this is the first anthology to gather hits from the band's entire career, it's the early tunes that highlight one of the Stones' central ironies: virtually their entire "bad boy" reputation was built working for The Man. That original '60s musical arc bounded from '50s rock and R&B revivalism ("Not Fade Away," "The Last Time") to anti-Mop Top aggression ("Satisfaction," "Get Off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown") to proto-goth cynicism ("Paint It Black," "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby") and psychedelic minstrelsy ("She's a Rainbow," "Ruby Tuesday") to the epitome of blues-based cock rock ("Street Fighting Man," "Jumpin' Jack Flash") in quick succession. Wresting control of their own destinies--and future copyrights--at the end of the '60s, they'd spend the next 30 years largely recycling their earlier incarnation ad infinitum--their music sprinkled with occasionally successful forays into contemporary club and disco fodder ("Some Girls," "Shattered")--and resting on their well-paid laurels. Unfortunately, the listless quartet of new tracks that flesh out this collection seems little more than another business deal to hype their 2002-03 world tour, with "Don't Stop" arguably the weakest in a long string of post-'80s Stones McSingles. If Jagger seems typically detached here, Keith Richards injects some welcome, craggy warmth into the closing barroom lament, "Losing My Touch." But it's also a performance that suggests his legendary band has become little more to him than "The Greatest Day Job in the World." --Jerry McCulley

 FAVORITE STONES CD FOR TRAVEL! September 16, 2008
Jane Doesn't Sleep (Arizona)
Forty Licks just has so many of my favorite Stones songs that the two cd's are among my must-haves for tunes for a road trip!

J. Warren Benton (Elizabeth city)
Ok this is a good stones compilation. If you ever listen to any classic hits station you have most likely heard all these songs.
Excellent, Excellent Compilation!! Missing an album of Material- however... July 13, 2008
Dr. Robert T. Zozus, Jr. (Durham, NC 27713)
Fantastic journey through the blues soaked soul of the greatest rock band of the 60's through 90's. Amazing to see how their sound evolved through time- maintaining a tight signature sound that seems to always remain fresh. Truly a band- in that the sum of their parts far exceeds the contributions of each Rolling Stone! Simply Delicious...
For a band with such far reaching influence, catalog, and musical tastes- a two disc set can't possibly comprise their musical genius. For those wishing to put together a Rolling Stones Career Retrospective of their most enduring tracks- I humbly submit you add the following MP3 downloads to this fine two disk set:
As Tears Go By
Get Off of My Cloud
Harlem Shuffle
Heart Of Stone
Heartbreaker: Doo Doo Doo Doo
Midnight Rambler
Moonlight Mile
Play With Fire
Rock and a Hard Place
Sway
Time Is On My Side
Ventilator Blues
Hope you don't get Sticky Fingers as you enjoy what assuredly is not a
"Beggar's Banquet!!" Goats Head Soup for All....

Forty Licks is probably one of the most listenable Stones collections available. Worth getting but sorely missing one of my favourite tracks: Time is On My Side. This is a poppier upbeat collection rather than the ballads route. Most importantly, it does a good job of mixing the old with the newer tracks - not an easy feat, but tracks like "You Got Me Rocking" and "Don't Stop" blend in well. Agree that this could've and should've probably been 3 discs. But it's a nice punchy mix as it is. There will probably never be a perfect Stones collection, but this works for me. Viva Rock and Roll!

Mitchell S. Friedman (Walnut Creek, CA)
Forty Licks is an excellent sampler of the Stones' long and varied career. Anyone who loves the Stones or just wants dip the toe into their history will love this collection.
