Really enjoyed this one

Album # 27 The only song I ever liked on this album is Wild Horses but this album is quintessentially Stones

Good old rock n roll at the top, then drifts into more meandery, bluesy/balladey territory

Classic. Don't think I'd realized how folksy some of the olds Stones is.

+1 Stern für die Bläser ;-)

Oh how scandalous this album cover was when it first came out. A working zipper (!) that opened onto someone's tighty whities!!! Almost every song here is great, and they are all different from each other (e.g., BROWN SUGAR vs. WILD HORSES; YOU GOTTA MOVE vs. BITCH). One of the things I love about this album is the practiced/perfected sloppiness, if you can call it that, of Keith's guitar playing. And, as an inverse to the Stones' sloppy, swampy music comes the album closer, MOONLIGHT MILE. Lots going on this one... perhaps the best tune on Sticky Fingers. I'd forgotten how great this album is. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ [I have always wondered about the relationship (if there is one) between CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING and Poco's EL TONTO DE NADIE, REGRESA.] __________________________________ 🎧 LPs reviewed: 42 🎧 LPs left to review: 959 🎧 LPs I found great/relevant enough to be mandatory listens (5): 10 🎧 LPs I *might* include in my own list (4): 14 🎧 LPs I will certainly *not* include in mine (1-2): 10

Pretty good. These chaps should go far.

"Sticky Fingers" by The Rolling Stones, released in 1971, is a gritty and raw rock album that captures the essence of the band at the peak of their creative powers. The album is filled with iconic tracks such as "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," showcasing The Rolling Stones' signature blend of blues, rock, and soul. Mick Jagger's dynamic vocals and Keith Richards' infectious guitar riffs are on full display, backed by a tight rhythm section that drives the music forward with relentless energy. Overall, "Sticky Fingers" is a must-listen for any fan of rock music, earning a solid 4/5 rating for its musicality, energy, and lasting influence.

I'll be brave and say that this is a good album

pretty good

Brown Sugar is a great song from the Stones.

Qué decir de este discón jaja. Va como piña en todo contexto y lugar. Joya.

not the biggest stones fan but i enjoyed this one

Every song is amazing except for You Gotta Move. Ez 4.5

The best stones album on this list so far, multiple hits that I enjoy but the non hit songs still don't do much for me. 3.5

Though I question the direction of the album cover, and probably think too much about the album's overall purpose, other than to glamorize excess, this band possesses some weird charm. I've never been big on them but I enjoy their music, at least in doses and what we have here is a very good, consistent album that perhaps calls for a deeper dive of their earlier material and for the remainder of their 70's output.

It took me so many relistens and so many attempts to accurately rate this album, I just couldn't pick apart how much I liked it, so I'll go with a 3.5 and rate it a 4 lol.

What a classic album no skips 10/10

I remember this was an album that my dad had although can't say I recall listening to it much. It has a pretty timeless feel. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are big hits but my faves are Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Dead Flowers.

Oh yeah, that's some good Stones. "Let It Bleed" just about has the edge, I'd say, but this is still up there. Fave tracks - "Brown Sugar" is a classic, even if it's problematic. "Wild Horses" is less complicatedly so. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Dead Flowers" from the tracks I was less familiar with...

Fuckin awesome songs, alright album. Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Wild Horses, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile = Bangers. 4/5

Great in comparison to rock. I was thinking either 3 or 4 stars.

Good listen but not genre defining

Brilliant! Great! Well Done to everyone! 4.7

Decently mediocre as usual, some good ones but not my faves. Solid listen, not mad at it, just never really been a big Stones fan. I like the album art and I did find one track that made me go "oh yeah" so high 2's.

More of a cover impact than a music one I'd say. Few gems on here but overall not their best. Stones have always been on the bottom of the top classic rock powerhouses for me. Nonetheless, still a powerhouse.

Meh. It's fine I guess. Stones have a handful of pretty amazing hits but otherwise they are mostly mediocre otherwise for me. In a 50 year discography I can fill a solid greatest hits and then skip the other 85%. Their deep cuts have rarely done it for me. I've never been high on Brown Sugar or Wild Horses so this album is nothing special for me. 2.00 stars

Classical album with classic music. A cornerstone of rock n’ roll.

They can do better

It’s ok

Brown Sugar is nice. Apart from that, there is much too much Blues for my taste. 3/5

Classic album. Easy to listen through start to finish anytime.

Blues, rock, folk, balada... El disco tiene de todo, tiene varios hits de la banda, y en lo personal no me gustan las canciones lentas, aun asi juegan un buen papel en el disco completo

This album didn't do much for me, The Rolling Stones as a whole don't really do much for me.

Raga litterally blues in che senso pensavo fossero la band rock per antonomasia. Ammetto la mia ignoranza

Classic rock and roll!

Soldi album, not their best but still good.

I’m so not a fan of them lol, not awful but a bit of a trudge

Pretty good album. The first half is definitely stronger than the second half. I've heard many of these songs before and there were no other new standouts. The album cover is iconic, though.

Bien. Wild Horses.

What you expect from the Rolling Stones. I won't listen to it again. It even has a country style song on it that references the Kentucky Derby.

Classic - all day long. Love this album. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't you hear me knocking?

Only listened to the first two songs and didn’t really like it. Might give it a listen someday again

I don't think I can say much about this that hasn't been said a thousand times over. The Stones put out four near-perfect albums in a row in the span of five years, despite losing Brian Jones in the midst of that period. Sticky Fingers has maybe 3 of their 10 greatest songs and it might be the fourth best of those four albums. Incredible.

'Funny' how the repugnant song on here is the one called "Brown Sugar" and not the one called "Bitch".

Heard Brown Sugar more times than I need to and was honestly never a big fan of Wild Horses. Can't You hear Me Knocking feels out of place almost on an album full of acoustic blues and ballads. Knocking and Sister Morphine are my favorites.

Enjoyed this more than I expected to honestly

hit after hit, they've never been my favorite performers but I can't deny the hooks on display

Rolling Stones are great and not just a boomer band? 4/5

I didn’t know that I liked the Rolling Stones this much to be honest. Good stuff!

Never listened full to a Stones album. But now want to explore more. Wild Horses is a standout.

The Stones' best album. Back to more of a roots-rock sound but grittier, featuring the band's best lineup with Mick Taylor.

It’s a great album that has timeless songs on it though the overall album is probably overshadowed by the three big hits: “Brown Sugar” “Wild Horses” and “Can’t you hear me knocking” - those are so well known and heard so much it almost lessens the rest of the material, which is still incredibly strong and vital. I mean if you had to explain the idea of “guitar riff” in rock, you’d be just fine choosing the opening few seconds of “Brown Sugar” and “Can’t you hear me knocking.” It’s like “oh, right that’s why Richards is amazing. Got it.” Also, this may be the first time I’ve ever truly and deeply listened to the words to Brown Sugar. Oh my.

Classic, solid fun rock. Definition of rock and roll.

Dang, so so good!

Love this album

Starts off with some bangers, then it feels a bit repetitious for me. Did enjoy Goin' Home - 11 minutes of 60s blues rock; although it also sounded like much of the rest of the album.

It’s ok, a couple great songs

I don’t know what it is about the Stones, but there’s something missing from their music that keeps me from loving them. Like, the songs here aren’t bad, the musicianship is very good, but there’s some intangible quality missing from it all that keeps their songs from really capturing me. Maybe it’s that, for a band who has often been called “The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World”, a lot of their songs kind of meander and don’t really have the energy level or edge that you’d expect out of a band with that moniker.

Не знаю... Sway было неплохо, а хард-рок в начале и кантри во всем остальном альбоме мне не понравились

This album fucking rocks

Its ok. Not a huge stones fan but I do appreciate the blues! Didn’t listen to brown sugar for obvious reasons.

Sounds like early stones. Little twangy, lots of horns, good album, not my favorite

Great album but not their greatest…

predivan✨

wild horses i brown sugar brrrutalne pjesme, ostale imaju nekih dobrih dijelova, sve u svemu 4/5

Dovoljna mi je Wild Horses da ocijenim pejom, to mi je jedna od all time favourites. I ostatak albuma mi je odličan, ponovit cu slusanje i priko vikenda

Obožavan ovaj album i njih! Vridi pročitat prvi review ovog albuma u ‘Reviews’ za više konteksta

Lekker Stones album, deze gaat vaker op!

I don't like Mick Jagger's voice, the lyrics, or the music.

muy buen inicio y muy buen final

Really, really terrific

Los Rolling de siempre

These dudes loved drugs. Overall enjoying it as an album but nothing grabbed me more than a 3

These guys can write the shit out of an anthem but man they're just druggy sad boys huh . But I digress 8.2

This was cool, not the most banger filled but it had some jams. Turns out everyone loves drugs. Mick Jagger has a great voice and Kieth Richard’s had some stand out moments but nothing epic.

An absolutely amazing album. It is the classic atemporal rock that only the Rolling Stones can produce. Catchy tunes like Brown Sugar, acoustic masterpieces like Wild Horses, rock ballads, and Mick Jagger screaming. What else would you need in an album?

I liked this album better than the first Rolling Stones album. I'm curious how much of my music enjoyment is circumstantial!

Good album with some classic songs. The Stones are a generational treasure.

Some of the best Rolling Stones songs. Low 4.

Brown Sugar Wild Horses Can't You Hear Me Knocking

This is a really excellent album. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are big hits, but the deeper cuts are great too. There are some darker tracks and some lighter ones. Some country-adjacent, some harder. Not a single dud on here.

If you like the stones, you'll love this album. As a not that big fan of the stones, it suffers from a lot of the issues I have with their music. The production and mix sounds like it should be from the 40s. The guitar can be really great, but a lot of the rest can just miss. Wild Horses is the stay out to me here, but the mix is so rough it's hard to listen to the original album version. 2.3

Just a great record. Not a fan of Dead Flowers, but the rest is excellent.

first one?

Me ha gustado mucho. Lo volvería a escuchar sin duda, tanto para hacer ejercicio o estudiar

fave track: i got the blues final thoughts: can't see myself revisting it much i'll be real... also the sundays did wild horses better sorry

cba to review lolol

Prachtig album! Ging vooral goed op Brown sugar en wild horses. Kon niet mega goed luisteren want zat op het lab

Fantastisch, kon het doordat ik niet alles kende geen 5 sterren geven

Goeie Stones sound, fantastische gitaar van Keith Richards, en met hits Brown Sugar en Wild Horses.

can I just be fucking honest I love the stupid ass evil and dumb rolling stones

One of the best RS albums. Full of top quality songs - Sway is proper good.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Can’t your hear me knocking, I got the blues

I’ve never really listened to the Stones before. While not exactly my cup of tea, it was a fun experience.

Muy buen disco, arreglos con muy buen gusto, instumentación variada. Fiel a su época.

A great album

favourite song: dead flowers never really listened to the rolling stones before but really enjoyed this. looking forward to more of them showing up here :)

There’s some bangers from the rolling stones but none of them was on this album :D It’s nice to listen but nothing mind-blowing.

Another Rolling Stones classic! Unlike Beggar's Banquet, this leans more into the rock music side of the Rolling Stones. Several songs I'm very familiar with ("Brown Sugar", "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'", "Wild Horses"), but I'm excited to dig into the ones I don't know as well. Oh man. I think this might become an all-time favorite record for me now.

- wild horses will always eat

Solid album top to bottom, with great highs and no real cuts. Would give it a 4.5 if it allowed that granularity because there’s nothing that deeply grabbed me

Excellent album. Will pick up on vinyl

Nice album with a mix of different style of rock. Quick and to the point with couple of hits sprinkled in. I did find a song I really liked. Can’t you hear me knocking.

The perfect Stones album to introduce someone to The Rolling Stones

Can’t You Hear Me Knocking might be my favorite on this album. The longer version is much better than the radio edit. Too much honky tonk overall. But the good stuff is great.

Sticky Fingers was the first Sones studio release of the 70’s, coming out in Spring 1971. This was a staple of “Album Oriented” radio, and was a notable part of the soundtrack of my teens. “Brown Sugar”, Bitch” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” are top notch, with “Wild Horses” as a solid change of pace (though not as good as “Angie”). One of the first Rolling Stones albums I owned. An Iconic album from an iconic band, with some iconic songs; complete with an iconic album cover. What’s not to like? Well…. Like a lot of Stones records, the highs are VERY high, but there’s a fair bit of middling songs, and a couple that are not so good. For me at least, the last 1/3 of the album isn’t compelling, while the first 1/2 is outstanding. And like a lot of Stones records, often the lyrics aren’t politically correct. Especially by current standards, but even back in the day. At least they were consistent, and unapologetic. The only questing is if those couple of average songs can drag this down from 5 to 4. After a fresh listen, I’m settling on 5.

Ok so it is a great travesty of my life that "Brown Sugar" is such a great song and that it also has to be about a slave owner raping his slave. That's just honestly the worst. But god, what a song. "Wild Horses" is another irrefutable banger. It makes me cry half the time I hear it. I mean, this record is just the epitome of rock and roll. I think blues rock shit can be so corny but it's executed well and it's too heavy-handed on this record. The organ solo on "I Got The Blues"!!!!! "Moonlight Mile" is a beautiful closing track. This whole album is like, such a lovely balance between tough and sexy and sad and weird and then also sad some more. I love it.

Really good listen for me! I already knew a few songs on here but never listened to the album in whole. Could imagine myself walking in a bar in a 1970s type movie with these songs playing in the background. I like the stones as well as quite a bit of classic rock so I think I can see myself coming back to this one!

Amazing, timeless album. I don't even need to say anything else about it!

Some classics on here too but yeah, I don’t really feel the need to come back to most of these.

Not a bad song on here and quite a few awesome songs.

True class rock album. the rolling stone seem to have a fun time playing it

Not really my type of music, but I liked some songs.

Favorite Stones!!

Bluesy Rolling Stones. No tanto rock sino mas suave.

The Rolling Stones have never been my favorite band and I have been around a long time. I did enjoy the slower selections though.

One of my gravitates from the stones

Good performances. The songs aren't life-changing in any way and may not have the finest songs, but they do sound good enough. It is quintessentially Rolling Stones, even down to the juvenile album cover. Pleasant enough listening. Brown Sugar stands out. Can't You Hear Me Knocking turns into an excellent jam. I don't think it reaches the sonic heights of Gimme Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want or Start Me Up. Nothing very new here, but it is a classic Stones album.

I loved the sound of it and I’ve never listened to The Rolling Stones before. Some of the lyrics seems so simple, almost silly but once I started to look into the songs I could see there was deeper meaning. I’m glad I listened!

Highlights: Sway, Bitch, Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sister Morphine. Sticky Fingers is everything you would expect from a Stone's album - a fusion of dirty blues, country flourishes and balls to the wall rock guitar riffs. I have listened to the opening track dozens of times but didn't pay attention to the full lyrics until it was time to listen to this album. Whoa. Knew that there are slavery references in Brown Sugar (which is a little uncomfortable to hear) but was completely unaware of the real meaning of "tastes so good". Younger me thought it was about interracial kissing. Nope. It is not. How naive I was. Overall: 7/10

Epic album

Heard before, don't mind it, not a fan of Jagger though

Strong! It contains classic rock and roll, country rock and blues rock! Classics: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Bitch, I Got the Blues Other Standouts: Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Exceptional album. I really only knew the classics... the rest was such a pleasant surprise. If I knew this album when it came out it would probably be an easy 5/5, but for me it is a strong 4/5

I know this isn't a popular statement, but I'm just not a fan of the vocals

Great album! I've got the vinyl issue with a cover which has a real zip.

GREAT album!!!1971 Classic

Awesome Band! One of the greatest for sure! personal top3 in no order: brown sugar you gotta move sister morphine

Ich mags einfach so gerne! 8.9/10

Starts off extremely strong but side two drags so much.

You know how sticky it gets.

This was a good listen.

Better dad rock as well. Some jams are good, some songs over stay their welcome a bit. Will I listen to again: 20%

Dirty ass Stones greatness.

Banger Album. Fast 5 Sterne, hat aber seine Längen.

Das beste Album nach Beggars Banqet.

Fairly middle of road. Wild horses was nice

Ok first Rolling Stones album on the list but I’m sure there will be like ten more. These guys always show up on best of lists but I’ve never met anybody who actually listens to them. Everyone knows some of their songs but does anybody really love The Rolling Stones? It must be a conspiracy or something I think. Anyways on to the album. It’s not great. It’s better than that Derek and the Dominoes album I had to listen to but that’s not saying much. There’s like one or two good songs on here and the rest are filler. As a bonus for anyone who sits through the whole thing, Mick Jagger attempts a southern accent on Dead Flowers and it’s not good.

God no. Never understood why people love The Stones so much. This record didn't change my mind.

De blues invloeden liggen er lekker dik bovenop op dit album. Het roept te weinig emotie bij me op om voor de 5 sterren te gaan, maar ik kan dit wel heel goed hebben.

Strong start and got less interesting towards the end. 3/4

Enjoyed this! Found out I don’t need to have MONO audio and that improved the experience In all Honesty I was doing ither things while the album was playing so I can’t comment too much, but would listen again 3/4**** Putting as 4 because it’s definitely better than other 3s I’ve done

This was a 4.5 - really enjoyed the instrumentals as well as the classics. Wild Horses is my favourite

Нууууу такое...

I have loved the rolling stones since i was a child

Obviously Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are two of the best rock songs ever, hands down, but there's plenty else to love here. Some of my other highlights are: Bitch is them at their debauched and out-there best while Sister Morphine is a wistful and somewhat regretful track. An easy 5*

Bien. Wild Horses.

Such a great tracking listing with a little cohesion issue. Obviously a massive winner for many reasons. Overall 4.5/5 but giving a 4.

Unlike any of the other albums so far, I did a deep dive on the history of this. I mainly got stuck on the album artwork which was created by Warhol and had a working zipper initially (removed in later editions as it damaged the record). Listened to this in the car and through headphones. The entire thing is a great listen. Would put on again. My favourite song is wild horses

Genre: Rock country (?) Instruments: 4/5 Modern Translation: 4/5 Dance Potential: 2/5 Listening Location: woodworking in the garage Favourite Song: Wild Horses Made me feel: my brain felt angsty and my body felt like I needed to passionately play air guitar to blow off steam. Not my taste in music but it’s a classic and I have a lot of respect for this band. Good mix of slow and fast songs.

Such a good album. Packed full of great licks and big tunes. Love it.

The only other Stones album I’ve listened to is Aftermath, and this was a big step up from that!

I loved this album, it was full of a ton of headbangers and I loved every song that came on. The songs also fit the vibe no matter what and I can’t wait to listen to more.

Decent album.

Wow… brown sugar really aged like milk. Besides that, no song could really incite any emotion in me.

Gear: Meze 109 PRO Mische (2009 Remaster): Referenz an Dynamik und Sounstage Mugge: vielleicht das beste Rock'n'Roll Album der vielleicht besten Rock'n'Roll Band alle Zeiten Wertung: 5/5

Brown Sugar is kind of fucked up, right? Knocking feels like pretty out-of-character Santana-inspired jam, which is cool, though they deny the influence in interviews. So good though.

Classic album from the best era of the Stones. Not a single bad song on the album. I've listen to this hundreds of times and still love it.

Not a big Stones fan, but this record is so damn great, I’m a fan of this record. Variety of music styles and they all work even with Jaggers vocals.

My favorite of the Stones albums we've listened to so far.

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

Great album. Love the stones, love every song on this album. Combines blues with some great guitar riffs and Mick Jaggers vocals suit their style of music perfectly. I love the way when the guitar isn’t the focal point of the music, Keith finds a way to nicely place some meandering guitar fills for the back ground. The riff on “can’t you hear me knocking” is top 5 guitar riffs for me. Would be the perfect album for chilling at home doing puzzles or to listen to while on a run. Big fan of the blues so I’m always gonna be a fan of this.

Highlights: Brown Sugar Wild Horses Can't You Hear Me Knocking You Gotta Move I Got the Blues Dead Flowers I've listened to a decent amount of Stones in my life and I am well aware of their pedigree in music. This album completely backs up that pedigree. From start to finish this album perfectly blends Mick Jaggers voice with various rock music styles of the time. Heavily featuring blues style riffs and with saxophones providing a musical balance I will definitely be coming back to this album in the future.

Good album, probably one I won't throw on a ton but I definitely will listen to again. Stand outs were brown sugar and wild horses (so good).

A classic.

banger from start to finish

decent album, a little drawn out but solid listen, 3.7

Pretty good

Some hits, but some slow duds. Historic band, OK album.

I’ve never been too big into The Rolling Stones but I know they’ve had an influence on some of my favorite artists today so I have to give them that. I probably won’t listen to this album again but it wasn’t awful.

Okay. Aftermath did not leave a good taste in my mouth for Rolling Stones albums. Sticky Fingers definitely has more impact than Aftermath, as well as higher praise. I mean, it does have a JoJo stand named after it, so clearly it must be better, right? This would be the part where I break the bad news and say that it isn't, but fortunately, Sticky Fingers is a way better album than Aftermath. Everything about it just works for me in ways that Aftermath didn't. I definitely liked the instrumentation more. The brass usage was definitely unexpected, but very welcome. The writing was also immensely better. My big complaint with Aftermath is that it just hasn't aged well. While Sticky Fingers isn't completely devoid of questionable lyrics (looking at you "Brown Sugar"), it definitely isn't as egregious as it was there. The songs are quite a bit more thoughtful as well. A lot of them are about drugs, but that fortunately doesn't get repetitive with how varied the songs can be. This album isn't perfect and it is a bit too long in my opinion, but it is a pretty good album that definitely deserves to be on this list. Strong 4/5.

Bien. Wild Horses.

Brown Sugar Wild Horses Can't You Hear Me Knocking (first 2:40 is standard rock then the last five minutes has a very different groove a jazz jam featuring a gritty sax solo by Bobby Keys and Billy Preston on organ, and Keith's guitar solo sounds A LOT like Carlos Santana) You Gotta Move (Southern black gospel song) Bitch I Got The Blues (slow 6/8) with an explosive Hammond organ solo by Billy Preston Dead Flowers!!

There are two Stones albums I like. Exile on Mainstreet and Sticky fingers. This one gets a four because Exile is my five.

12/4/23. Meh, maybe I'm not a huge Rolling Stones guy. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is a standout, and Dead Flowers I enjoyed, but the rest just didn't resonate with me.

Not a stones fan

This is my favorite albums of all time. Perfect.

Great record - lots to love. Mick Taylor is actually pretty awesome here - I always thought I was a Ronnie Wood era stones guy but I really liked this. I love the southern sound/Gram Parsons influence, and I love all the 'jamming' on this one like on Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Moonlight Mile feels almost like an Elton John track which was nice also - adding to the variety. Also can we just take a minute to be amazed at what a truly amazing year 1971 actually was! So much great music!

Очень приятные рок-треки, мне понравилось. Саксофон в некоторых местах здорово радует.

Setting aside The Rolling Stones of it all, remarkably consistent album

I am sure it is a good album, but I am not feeling it. I guess I liked rolling stones more than I thought

This is country and blues When did we forget this is rock and roll

Too much sloppy nonsense, but 'Wild Horses' and 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' are absolutely classics.

Never been a huge fan of the Stones. I’m still not but this one was good… and they get an extra star for Moonlight Mile.

Une démonstration de force

la route est longue

esta bueno para el tiempo que se hizo, hay temas joyitas teniendo en cuenta que viene de los rolling... pero van a haber muy pocos cd de 5 estrellas

Mó paia

Foi uma luta terminar

Luta pra terminar

Minn tónlistarstíll. Klárlega. Hefði viljað meiri kraft frá þessum tíma, svolítið um lög í rólegri kantinum en samt gott stöff.

I didnt get hot or cold from it, is what my grandpa would say

Bien. Wild Horses.

Pretty phenomenal, I always knew I liked The Rolling Stones, but it's good to be reminded and be forced to listen through an album in full. 4.5/5

Some good songs.

It was alright

Wild horses was added to my regular rotation.

I'm actually a bit surprised at the laid back nature of this album compared to their future hits. It's somewhat refreshing and not what I expected. Some songs have a country/honky tonk feel to them. It's definitely a classic and I can see why it got them a lot of attention back in the day. I enjoyed it, but it's a little too laid back for my tastes to hoist it as their best album and I'm already pretty meh about the Rolling Stones in general.

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I do like this one, some classics and great variety ever present Favourite song: Track 4 - Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

I get the appeal as the edgy alternative to the Beatles but wow is this remarkably boring by today's standards. There are highlights and the Stones know how to write a song but Jaggers vocals are rough (Wild Horses is so much better on every cover) and the instrumentals are good but feel derivative of blues greats running the same time. Maybe I'm just on the wrong side of the hype train. I don't know, it just doesn't hold up for me.

This is THE Stones album for me

Simply boss

Would be 4 stars, but Brown Sugar is just too disturbing.

Quite astonishing as a single piece of work. Peak Stones. Gotta be a 5

I am all for this saxophone stuff.

Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are classic, and the album is overall good, but for an album with a reputation of being among the Stones' best, I wasn't blown away or anything.

Not their best work from that era.

It was fun but I don't remember any of the songs by now

Good vibes, Mick Jagger is not a great singer but there are a lot of bops. No skips but I probably would not revisit and definitely won't remember all the songs.

Finally a Stones album where I have zero bones to pick. A truly perfect album and iconic Andy Warhol cover. So much fun.

All round good album, personal favourite track was Sister Morphine. I also enjoyed learning about the album cover having a physical zipper on it, a gamechanger of an album to know about

Overraskende fedt! I Got the Blues svinger, Brown Sugar slef god. Dead Flowers meget spøjst nummer fra Stones, meget amerikansk country

Okay guys, we know you do heavy drugs. Even the popular songs are boring. This was music for old people from the minute it was made. I do not get why Rolling Stones are/were popular at all.

A lot of this album feels like the soundtrack to a roadtrip down dusty back roads in a old rusted pickup truck. I think this is their first album without Brian Jones and you can really feel it. Lots of straightforward bluesy rocky chorus verse stuff, but really the best version of that. The standout songs are when they add a bit more instrumentation like on Moonlight Mile. That's a really great song. Other standouts were Wild Horses and Bitch

I like classic rock. The Rolling stones do it well. Moonlight Mile would be my standout. Lot of lovely songs and sooo many sweet guitar melodies and phrases I will think of many times in the future. I actually wanna listen to more Rolling Stones after this. Its good road trip music (or maybe i think this is cause i was driving while listening). Overall, I enjoyed. But I will say, I wasn't blown away. Maybe it is considered iconic more for the time that it came out? I wouldn't know. I guess I have to listen to everything now.

Initial thoughts, very classic sounding to the point where the first song reminded me of two other songs from that era. Brown Sugar gave me "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner(1978) vibes and "Go All The Way" by Raspberries(1972) vibes with the cadence and the strumming and probably the key they played in(I can't tell for sure). Both being from the 70s makes me think that's just the sound folks chased. I will note though that the Rolling Stones did seem to get to it first in terms of the chronology (1971) so it's possible given how popular they were back then that Foreigner and Raspberries could have been inspired by the stones! I guess their song formula kind of formed the foundation of a lot of rock moving forward? "Sway" reminded my a lot of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan(1973) Probably because there are progressions that are just a step apart from each other ha! Speaking of vibes: I'm getting like riding a motorbike in a movie where you're the main character going on a cross country trip by yourself. It's got a lot of moments where I want to be "present". Though I'm not sure if it's because movies over-use this type of music in those scenes or if this music naturally lends itself to that kind of feeling. Mick Jagger's voice is pretty dope I can see why he got popular back then, though I have to wonder how much cocaine was involved in their early years haha Standouts: * Sway -> I liked how it built up and I enjoyed the solo at the end * Can't You Hear Me Knocking seemed like a Jam Session at the end which was a pleasant surprise! The Bongos(?) and shaker(?) and the Sax coming in were a fun addition. * Wild Horses: I had a realization that Bill And Teds' "Wyld Stallyns" was probably a play on the name of this song haha * Moonlight Mile: so bluesy, I liked the instrumentation a lot. Kinda felt like end credits for that movie vibe I was getting This is a 4 for me. I respect it for it's role in forming the foundations of what we view as rock today. A fun and honestly educational listen

Classic Stones, it is great. Second side isn't as strong as the first.

Mehrere sehr coole Lieder aber es war nicht so ein geniales Gesamtkonzept

"Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" are absolute smashes. "Bitch" should have been a much bigger song the the lexicon of music than it is. Great album and classic album cover.

I'm not really a Rolling Stones fan, but have to admit, this is a great record.

Some great songs on here, but Brown Sugar did not age well at all. It’s a good album, but maybe not their most influential. The cover art is iconic, though.

Hate to say it but there was a reason Mick jagger fucked 14 year olds with no consequence. The rolling stones are good. They changed the landscape. It's not mind-blowing if you have a basic idea of what settler colonialism is but it's still good rock n roll music.

1. Album Cover: The album cover is instantly recognizable, featuring a close-up of a jeans-clad male crotch with a working zipper. This iconic design was created by Andy Warhol and is not only visually striking but also plays into the album's themes of sexuality and rebellion. 2. Musical Style: "Sticky Fingers" showcases the Stones at the peak of their creative powers. Musically, it spans a variety of rock styles, including blues, rock 'n' roll, and country, demonstrating the band's versatility and influence on the genre. 3. Songwriting: The album features a mix of original compositions by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, as well as a well-executed cover of "You Gotta Move." The songwriting on this album is top-notch, with Jagger's lyrics often exploring themes of love, lust, and rebellion, which are themes that have become synonymous with The Rolling Stones. 4. Hits: "Sticky Fingers" is home to some of The Rolling Stones' most enduring hits. "Brown Sugar," with its catchy guitar riff and provocative lyrics, remains a rock anthem. "Wild Horses" is a beautiful, soulful ballad, and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" features an epic instrumental section that showcases the band's incredible musicianship. 5. Keith Richards' Guitar Work: Keith Richards' guitar work on this album is outstanding. His riffs and solos are integral to the album's sound, and his bluesy, gritty playing style adds a raw and authentic edge to the music. 6. Mick Jagger's Vocal Performance: Mick Jagger's vocals are charismatic and dynamic, capturing the essence of rock 'n' roll. He effortlessly shifts from raucous and gritty in "Brown Sugar" to tender and emotive in "Wild Horses." 7. Production: The production quality, handled by Jimmy Miller, is exceptional. The album's sound is rich and well-balanced, allowing each instrument and Jagger's vocals to shine through. This production style helped define the Rolling Stones' sound during this era. 8. Cohesiveness: Despite the diversity of musical styles, "Sticky Fingers" feels remarkably cohesive. The songs flow seamlessly from one to another, creating a strong overall listening experience. 9. Impact: This album marked a pivotal moment in the band's career. It was released at a time when rock 'n' roll was evolving, and "Sticky Fingers" helped define the sound of the era. It remains a landmark in rock music history and continues to influence musicians and bands today. 10. Closing Thoughts: "Sticky Fingers" is a classic rock album that exemplifies The Rolling Stones' enduring appeal and musical brilliance. Its mix of rock, blues, and ballads, combined with memorable lyrics and iconic artwork, make it a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences and earn its place in the pantheon of rock and roll history. In summary, "Sticky Fingers" is a must-listen for anyone interested in rock music. Its songs are a blend of raw energy, emotion, and musical virtuosity that showcases The Rolling Stones at the height of their creative powers.

KR är bra. Kanske Stones bästa. Men väljer så många band före RS.

Great second half especially

Yeh it's aight... wild horses goes hard

This is a great album. I prefer Let it Bleed, overall, but Sticky Fingers is a really satisfying listen with a couple of classics (Wild Horses, Brown Sugar).

truly a classic.

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.

An excellent Stones album, worth all the credit it gets!

its aight

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

I’ve never been a fan, I thought all the songs would sound like Brown Sugar and Start Me Up, and I just don’t love the headliners like that. So I’ve never listened to a full album before! After that, I get it now. Sway’s awesome guitar solo at the end, Wild Horses-just classic, and even more songs opened my eyes! Yay, because I’ve inherited numerous Stones albums, so now I can enjoy them hahaha. Listen again: yes Purchase for my collection: own it Favourite Song: Sway

I’ve Got The Blues is my fav

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.

Brown sugar- fucking yikes Sway - nice beat, mediocre lyrics Wild Horses - I actually enjoyed this one, wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it but it's nice. Can't You Hear Me Knocking - classic Rolling Stones, enjoyable You Gotta Move - eh Bitch - okay I Got The Blues - I like it, their slower songs seem to hit more Sister Morphine - really good Dead Flowers - whiplash with the country tones, also really good Moonlight Mile - okay Overall: It's okay, they've done better. Second half was a lot better imo.

It’s interesting how some of these became such iconic hits and some are rarely played.

Who's got the blow?

Terrific. The first 36 seconds of Sway alone earns a high rating and places this at the top of all albums.

Every single song on this album is great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've never been a massive fan of the Rolling Stones and I've never sat down and actually listened to one of their albums from start to finish before. Having now done that, this is clearly a most excellent album, well deserving of the full 5 stars that I'm going to give it. There's a couple of tracks here I knew before, Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. I enjoyed them and I also enjoyed all the tracks I hadn't heard before. There was plenty of variation in styles, some excellent guitar work, basically just some very solid songs that are all expertly put together.

Don't really know the rolling stones' music that well, the album is very chill to listen to while driving. In many songs you feel the blues

(Previously heard) Highlights: Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile The sax solos in "Brown Sugar" & "Knocking" bring this to 4 stars on its own. Peak Stones at it's most refined, and it certainly earned them the title of "The Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World" if they weren't so by this point

Yep that's the stones alright

"Can't you hear me knockin" is my favorite Stones song. The improbably long and meandering solos at the end of the song are just fantastic. The rest of the albums is gold too. Have to go with a 5.

Things I love about this album: - the first 6 seconds of Brown Sugar - Jagger and Richards telling me “it’s just that mean old life that’s got you in its Sway” - everything about the poignancy of Wild Horses - the way Charlie hits the snare “duh-DUH” after Mick says “knocking” - the way You Gotta Move sounds like it’s being sung by someone with 4 teeth from 1940s Louisiana - the drum fill at the end of the verses in Bitch - the simple D-A-G chord progression on Dead Flowers coupled with Mick Taylor’s tasty country licks - the triumphant sadness of Moonlight Mile

Better album than the one I last listened to. I should not have rated that one four stars it just had Paint It, Black in it ig. If I could go back I'd rate it a three like this one.

Wild Horses is the best song

It’s the stones innit

Can't You Hear Me Knocking is one of my all time favorites and the country blues rock vibe on tracks like You Gotta Move and Sway is a nice example of the band's versatility. Not sure if this is their best album but it has to at least be in the conversation.

Awesome album. Some of my favorite tunes of theirs. Wild Horses is unbeatable

Good deep tracks on this one.

Very very good I enjoy all song I think

Really strong album… as always, the co-opting of the blues by white guys is a trigger for me, but they do do it well… Wild Horses is just so good. Feeling nostalgic for the past just listening to it…

Another fucking Stones album? Great. Honestly it’s impossible for me to objectively rate this boomer shit because I have been obliged to listen to so many of these songs so many times. Do I really need to hear Wild Horses again? Great song, not sure it belongs in Mick Jagger’s mouth though. Sounds like it should be a song by The Band. Same with Dead Flowers, with its idiotic put-on accent. If taken in earnest, these tracks just strengthen the impression I got after listening to Beggars Banquet (how many RS albums are on this fucking list anyway?): the Stones are hipster posers, so adept at imitation it obscures their originality. Sister Morphine highlights this, because it is an amalgamation of their strengths with whatever they were obsessively listening to when they wrote this album. So that’s my favorite track. Also Brown Sugar has always been creepy, even if you take away all the slavery references.

I knew the hits, but I'd never sat down and listened to a whole album of theirs. I understand why people are obsessed. Rating 3.8.

Wow love the song writing. So many great lines. Very old sounding but as good of that sound as they could have done. Will need to relisten to fully appreciate the song writing

much better than i was expecting! will have to give it another listen

Yea not bad

This album rocks! The bonus album with the live version of the album is also excellent!

The Stones have always been one of those background bands for me. Not particularly offensive to me but I've also never had any inclination to take them very seriously either. Listening to this album clarifies why that's the case for me. I can stand it in small doses but after more than two songs I just find the bluesy rock stuff grating and one dimensional.

Classic Stones album with key hits and their iconic blues tinged rock.

Brown Sugar - 2.75 Sway - 2.5 Wild horses - 3.75 Cant you hear me knocking - 2.5 You gotta move - 2 Bitch - 3.25 I got the blues - 2.5 Sister morphine - 2.25 Dead flowers - 2.25 Moonlight mile - 2.25

The best Stones album. Classic. Can't believe how many bangers they had on this one.

Solid dad rock but I’ve heard more dynamic stuff from both the genre and artist that appeals to me more.

weird motherfuckers

Lots of bangers on this one, and its definitely an album I've listened to before.

This is a really solid album. It's got a good mix of songs on it from the mellower 'Wild Horses' and 'Moonlight Mile' to the more straight up blues and rock'n'roll tracks. Still with all this variation it flows really well and the production is great. This one is a classic in my opinion, though it's not necessarily one of my go-to Stones records. I have listened to it straight through multiple times today. I'd probably give it 4.5/5 if it was allowed but I'm thinking I'll round up just due to the number of really strong tracks throughout. Standout Tracks: Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile

reminds me of something I would listen to when cleaning my room or studying, it’s very calming but also upbeat at points, I really liked wild horses, sway, bitch, I got the blues, and midnight mile

This album is always great listen

I'm blown away, I love all the harsh choices made on this album. It's everything I wanted from other Rolling Stones albums i heard. A organ solo out of nowhere with a fat ass tone, not respecting the key that much. Big sax licks and solos, 3 minutes breakdows to end songs, and Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile being some of the most beautiful songs I've heard, which I wasn't expecting

This is my all-time favourite Stones album, it’s the best they’ve ever been. Granted, Brown Sugar hasn’t aged well at all, but that song exists within me on a cellular level after hearing it thousands of times before ever cluing into how utterly abhorrent the subject matter is. This album plays through with such effortless rock n roll cool, it’s such a banging good time, you can’t help but enjoy it. And Dead Flowers is one killer track you don’t want to sleep on! It’s just perfection. Swagger off the chats, fuck yeah, it’s the 70s!

i didn't grow up listening to the rolling stones but this album was pretty solid. starts off super strong with the classic brown sugar (which admittedly hasn't aged super well, unless that's part of it). sway, wild horses, and can't you hear me knocking are also great tracks. it gets a bit boring after that, particularly toward the end of the album, but i can see how these have stood the test of time. favorites: brown sugar, sway, wild horses, can't you hear me knocking

Fantastic

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.

More bluesy than I expected but still had some nice rock throughout.

Didn't like the genre

It is yet again, a great Stones album. All time classic album with an all time classic album sleeve.

Classic banger
