Top 5 Stones albums in terms of production quality

We have rank ordered a lot of thing about the Rolling Stones here: best song, best songs of certain periods, with certain themes, best albums etc. I am not sure if we have ever discussed the particular category that I am bringing up now. But it certainly wouldn't surprise me as this forum has been around for a long, long time.

So what I am wondering is... what are the top 5 Rolling Stones albums in terms of production quality?

To be clear, I am not talking about musicianship, artistry, or compositions. I am talking about things like sound quality, overall sonic quality but also sound staging, arrangement, and other elements we associate with the role of the record producer.

My guess is that such a list of the best 5 here might not match up with our overall top 5 albums.

One criticism I have often had with the Stones is, from time to time, production. Why does such a great song have a tinny or hollow sound? Why is that string section not as prominent as it could be? Why is there not more dynamic range when it was clearly achievable in that era? Of course I am generalizing here with examples, and such criticisms are not always the case in my experience of Stones albums.

So... back to the question: what are your top 5 albums in terms of production quality?
