Exile on Main St, was panned on release — now it's considered one of the greatest albums ever

The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St, was greeted with mixed reviews in 1972 — critics found it sprawling and difficult, and even Mick Jagger wasn’t initially on board. But by the end of the 1970s the reassessment had begun, and it’s now widely ranked among the greatest albums of all time. The perfect example of a record that was simply ahead of its audience.
