I didn't really start listening to the Stones (outside of the hits on the radio) until after I read Keith Richards' autobiography. It was really good, and got me to start getting into the deeper cuts.

Hot Rocks 1964-1971 - The Rolling Stones. A two-disc set. The Stones were my first favorite band, back in my college days. I still like to listen to them.
I didn't hear much rock-and-roll when I was a kid - the Old Man genuinely believed that it was part of a Communist plot to weaken Western moral fiber, so we were discouraged pretty forcefully from listening to it around the house when we was kids. When I went away to school, the only radio station that would come in in the dorms was HJY out of Providence which played hard rock and some 60's stuff, so my first real exposure to rock-and-roll was the Stones, Van Halen, the Doors and like that.
When I was in my 30's, the Old Man happened to hear me listening to some CCR and said disdainfully, "Jungle music." My reaction was, "'Jungle music'? CCR?"

Must have been "Run Through The Jungle"

well... - Katey Sagal. I bought this mostly because I had seen her on Married...With Children, but she's not a bad singer.
Going Through My CD Collection:
The Music of Raymond Scott - Great stuff - Carl Stalling used alot of it in the Warner Brothers cartoons. My favorite track is "Powerhouse", or as I think of it, the "Bugs Bunny being chased through a factory by robots" music.
