Sticky Fingers

This is probably my favorite Stones album. I'm not a huge fan of the Stones, but this one is good.

Brown sugar, Wild horses, Bitch o Dead flowers. No hace falta mucho más. Nunca he sido fan de los Rolling por lo que no conozco sus discos en concreto pero sí sus canciones y las que incluyen este disco creo que lo hacen uno de los mejores que he oído por ahora.

A fairly solid rock and roll album. I particularly like wild horses.

I mean, its one of the greatest albums of all time, the track listing could be a greatest hits for lesser bands... Sure "Brown Sugar" hasn't aged well, but it's wall to wall classics here, including my particular favourite Stones track of all, "Bitch". It's just a non-stop groove and your life is emptier without this.

The Rolling Stones are the best Southern rock band, they even have the best racist song.

This album is full a out country blues gospel rocker - maybe not quite at Exile level, but getting there and more concise. 'Wild Horses' is an all time favorite. On 'Can't you hear me knocking' they're doing a Santana/Allman Brothers thing with a loosely psychedelic blues jam. 'You gotta move' works less well, imitating a zither and stomp blues that relies more on Jagger doing old blues guy voice. 'I got the blues' slows it down for a church organ lament, layered with great horns parts and bright clean guitar line. The acoustic guitar + dirty slide guitar on 'Sister morphine' carries the song through a traditional folky verse chorus into the chaotic descent of the Neil Young style second half. Good as he is, Keith Richards has never been a personal favorite but he really is the star on this one.

Another great Stones album. Not quite the masterpiece that is Exile...this one still has some great bangers that has to be a 5/5.

I've listened to quite a bit of The Rolling Stones before, but never sat and listened to a whole album cover to cover.

Right off the bat, I knew Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking. I enjoyed the country/blues feel of the songs You Gotta Move and I Got The Blues. Sister Morphine is a beautifully sad song about drug addiction. The way the song starts slow and melancholic, and continues to build as the lyrics spin a tale of desperation and desire adds to the beauty of the track. Bitch and Sway both had rockin' feels to them.

I enjoy the addition of brass instruments by times (mainly in the song Can't You Hear Me Knocking)

Overall a great album. Got me familiar with some of The Rolling Stones lesser known tracks, some of which are gems.

Favourite songs: Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sway, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Wild Horses

Least favourite song: Moonlight Mile

4/5

Zoveel goede muziek van de Stones. Maar dit album is echt overschat...

Really great - the Stones have got such a great sound, and some real tunes.

Erittäin solid rokkilevy

The Jimmy Miller era was The Stones at their absolute best. The epitome of Rock 'n' Roll, with all its roots and influences unraveled and laid bare. Though there are many timeless anthems on this album, my favorite track is probably "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." I feel like that track is fairly unique in their catalog, in that they start with an absolutely infectious chorus, but curiously choose to put it aside, in favor of going into one of the most exploratory instrumental jams of their career.

Always a toss up between this and Exile on Main Street for my favourite Stones album. I think sticky fingers just edges it, fewer songs make it more impactful as every song is great. Can’t you hear me knocking is one of my all time favourite stones songs. This is one of the all time great rock and roll albums a five star masterpiece.

Listened to Sticky Fingers a lot at uni. It makes you feel dirty just by listening — and it's all the better for it. The remastered edition on Spotify is a bit unnecessary, I prefer the heroin-fuelled rawness of the original recording.
