It's the rare greatest-hits album that takes on a life of its own. Generally, best-of collections are superceded by updated retrospectives. iHot Rocks/i is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Originally released in 1972, it instantly became the Stones intro of choice, elbowing aside iBig Hits, High Tide and Green Grass/i and iThrough the Past Darkly/i. Why? It happened to hit the racks when Mick and company were at their creative peak. The 21 tracks found here represent seven years of dizzying growth. From "Time is on My Side" through "Satisfaction" and "Let's Spend the Night Together," on to iSticky Fingers/i's "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses," iHot Rocks/i never lets up. The likes of iSucking in the '70s/i and iJump Back/i come and go, but this Stones overview will not be moved. i--Steven Stolder/i
