Sticky Fingers

This album needs no introduction. Dirty, gritty rock’n’roll at its finest!

By far one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. Top 3 Stones album for sure

Sticky Fingers is my 2d Stones album and I have to give it a 5 even though prior to this listening I would not have considered this one of their top 3 albums. This album is incredible. Even without the big singles and country songs it would be a great album. I listened to it twice to be sure that I wasn't grading this too high based on the relative low average of my last weeks worth of albums and in my opinion it is a well deserved 5.

fantastic - how have i not listened before?

What a classic Album!

Happy memories of messing around with my brother's LP, complete with working zip, which would have been in the mid to late 70s. I started to appreciate the music properly in my teens (80s). I haven't listened to it as an album for absolutely ages. It's so good! Love the weaving guitars, rhythms, touches of brass, and all of the sass. I'm not going to attempt to dissect the appropriateness of Jagger and Richards in 1971, I'm just happy that they loved the blues and were writing absolute tunes. And, oops, it turns out I've totally overlooked Mick Taylor's wonderful input until now. Ten great tracks; an absolutely classic album, by any standards.

The first four tracks on this classic remain one of the strongest starting sequences put to tape. The rest of the tracks are fantastic as well with variations on that swaggering Stones sound.

Love this album, it's a classic

Part of the holy trinity - the three classics from stones Favorite track: can’t you hear me knocking other picks: brown sugar, wild horses, i got the blues, dead flowers

This project will finally answer the age old question of what the best Rolling Stones album of all time is. Or it will leave out one of my favorites and I'll want to quit. Brown Sugar is a great song. Wild Horses is another all-time great song. And Can't You Hear Me Knocking is an underrated Stones effort and one of the best album tracks ever. This album is amazing. Huge hits, great album tracks, a cover, a song that got more famous after it was covered and was in a movie....its got everything. I do think I like the Townes Van Zandt version of Dead Flowers better, but I do like the original. This album might have the most underrated album tracks of all time. Moonlight Mile is another tremendous song and a great way to close the album, it just feels like it's signifying the end of something.

Perfect. No notes

Great songs

Oh fuck. This is one of the greatest album of all time. Waiting on a Doug Sax remaster LP to hit my mailbox

My favorite Stones album. Hands (pants?) down. Worth the price for "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" alone.

Love the vibe and tunes of this record.

Lyrics didn't age well. Dang, those guitar tones. Just some good-ass rock and roll.

Can you give an album 6 stars? Damn. Stones at the top of their game. Amazing album.

Not only is this as gritty as Beggar's Banquet or Let It Bleed, it's probably their most experimental album. The expansiveness of "Moonlight Mile" and the extended solo of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" goes beyond what the Stones are better known for--quick classic rock songs with a good hook. Really this is peak Stones (along with Exile On Main St.).

This is one of my favorite albums. Dead flowers is my favorite track. Listening again makes me want to find the original album cover with the zipper. “Sway” has such a great groove. Bill Wyman is a great bassist. I love his lines on this record. “You gotta move” is a great song.

A classic that marks the beginning of a lineup change at the stones. Truly a masterpiece.

One of the best Stones albums, which means it's one of the best rock n roll albums. A true classic. Mick Taylor era was the greatest Stones era. Incredible to have Dead Flowers, Wild Horses, Sway and Brown Sugar on the same record.

As I said in my review of Beggars Banquet just a few days ago, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. are the greatest Stones albums. I think this one is my favourite of them all. Townes Van Zandt is great, but I also prefer the original Dead Flowers.

Well, it was just a matter of time until the Rolling Stones popped up on the list. This is the only Stones album I own, so it must be good. There are some great tracks on this album, along with a couple of duds (for example moonlight mile). Since the Stones have been around forever they have a bunch of albums, and I’d rate this one among their top three.

10/10 haven’t heard a bad Rolling Stones album yet haha

Genial. Los Rolling Stones son las leyendas que son gracias a discos como Sticky Fingers. Lo he escuchado varias veces y cada vez mejora. Un hit tras otro sin parar. Un clasicazo imperecedero.

HaHaHa...is there any question this is 5-star material. Strong guitar, drumming, backing musicians, great material. What rock group would not have given a right (and a left) nut for such a banger opening track? Then getting down/dirty with Sway. Wild Horses? Maybe the best song on this album full of best of... material?

Such a great album. Love this. But Townes Van Zandt did "Dead Flowers" better. I had no idea that was a Stones song until today.

Clásico y influyente. El Paso del movimiento hippie a sonidos más oscuros. Con influencias del variadas, rock, obvio, blues, country… Sticky Fingers canaliza los conflictos sociales de la época (racismo, adicción, libertad sexual) desde el punto de vista irreverente de los Rolling Stones, sin autocensura, lo que reforzó su imagen de banda contestataria y capturó el espíritu convulso de principios de los 70.

Classic stones. Love it!

Sticky Fingers is a swaggering triumph—witty, urbane, and soaked in decadence. The Stones fuse bluesy grit with louche charm, delivering raw emotion and polished sleaze. A louche masterpiece that struts, sneers, and seduces in equal measure.

This album has maybe one skip for me… a classic in the truest sense.

The Stones at their drugiest, bluesiest best. Every song a classic IMO

I've mentioned it several times already, I'm not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. This album, however, has some great tracks, and some of my favorites from them. I didn't even know Can't You Hear Me Knocking was a Stones song, and I love that one. This is a great album, and his voice isn't as annoying on this one. I'm going out on a limb and giving this a 5. It has multiple styles, less of the annoying vocals, and several hit tracks. Maybe one day these guys will turn out to be something... one day...

This album is peak Stones. Dark and light, hopeful melancholy. First time I have listened to the whole thing intently and it surpassed my expectations.

One of the greatest albums by one of the greatest bands = 5 stars.

I think years from now when my first born asks "papa, who are the rolling stones" I may as well just put this record on. Little to no fat, absolute barn burners and slow ballad-this album has it all.

It’s a classic for a reason

Rolling Stones!

Wow. I keep looking to see if this is still the album, or I've somehow changed what I'm listening to. This is pretty amazing.

This album embodies everything I love about blues/rock n roll. This was my first time listening and I can't wait to listen to more Stones albums

Bra låter, bra produksjon selv om jeg ikke fant originalmiksen og endte med en 2009 remastring.

Super enjoyable album! Keith Richards’s guitar in this is really some of the best it’s ever been. Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is one of the greatest songs ever, especially considering the giant instrumental jam that takes up most of the song was completely improvisational!

"Sticky Fingers" is easily the Stones' best album, throughout the 10 track, 46 minute runtime you get some of the best 70s blues rock of all time, "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" & "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" are all classics for a reason, the performances of all the band members are all amazing, they put their all into everything, & even with the other tracks on the record you still get great stuff like the country influenced twang of "Dead Flowers," or the slow, grand sweep that is the closer "Moonlight Mile," everything here just works to create the perfect 70s blues rock record, everything here is just perfect, the licks & riffs are goddamn perfect, Mick's vocal performances are iconic as hell, everything here works to make the perfect record, one of my favorites of all time.

One of the stones best

This was an awesome album and I really enjoyed listening to it. I had only heard Brown Sugar and Wild Horses before (although I was familiar with You Gotta Move, just not by the Stones). I listened to Exile On Main Street a couple days ago, and I really didn't connect with it at all and found the listening experience to be a little unpleasant and was glad when it was over. This album was almost the complete opposite. Every tune was enjoyable and I wanted it to keep going. Five stars.

my favorite classic rock album. can’t you hear me knocking, wild horses, and brown sugar are the standouts, but the entire album is good. the cover of you better move is pretty weak but oh well it’s blues rock.

Great blues. Solid songs.

Overall I liked it as much as Let It Bleed, so it feels like another 5. The back half doesn't have any big radio hits but it feels varied and interesting. 'Sister Morphine and 'Dead Flowers' have a more gloomy, artsy Velvet Underground sort of feel. I know 'Brown Sugar' hasn't aged well but there's a lot of other music in the world that's way worse politically. 'Brown Sugar' seems rather innocuous or sophomoric and you can't take it too seriously. Also 'Wild Horses' just kind of says some things that I don't think any other song has said as well.

Super Dope

Arguably the most iconic Stones album, fantastic from start to finish.

Legend

goodbye brian jones, welcome mick taylor. keith’s best partner i think. some of the best two guitar music out there. guitar heaven, this album. brown sugar certainly wouldn't fly today. but what a song. lyrically, i’d like to think it’s got more in common with randy newman’s “good old boys” than it probably does. these guys weren’t randy newman. sway is never the first song i think of, but it’s great. jagger is great. mick taylor’s slide is perfect for the stones. scuzzier than duane. his solo near the end trills and soars too. wild horses is a great song, like, a really great song, but i usually skip it. part of that is classic rock radio overexposure and part is because i like my stones scuzzy. and also because can’t you hear me knocking is next. and i can’t wait. i’ve got a thing for studio reactions that stay in songs. the stones have a few great ones (after marianne faithful’s voice cracks when she’s going ultra hard in “gimme shelter”, someone loses their shit and yells WHOO!). and here, during keith’s first run through one of the sickest rhythm riffs of all time, there’s a “guh!” halfway through and a back of the studio “yeah!” at the end of it. i swear to god i usually listen to the first seven seconds of this song three or four times in a row. there are a few more peppered in there. you can hear they were feeling this one. this song was built for two guitars. or maybe two guitars were made for this song. worth listening on headphones for the mix. keith in your right ear, mick taylor in your left. perfect counterpoints. you gotta move. you gotta include a faithful blues cover cuz you do it so good. this album's "prodigal son." works great after knocking. keith’s backing vocals. bitch. drivin'. mick jagger really is an excellent frontman. another masterclass in how to use two guitars. the mix stays the same. keith on the right as the engine; mick left as the spitting flames; watts and wyman behind you, clacking on the tracks; jagger in your face, preening and mugging. lots of sax on this record. naming a song "i got the blues" is funny. stones as stax. stones as the mg’s. mick jagger as otis redding. it's great. mick can't do what otis did but otis didn’t do what mick does. or did he? the stones are indebted to him. but he loved them too. satisfaction. sister morphine. this thing is haunted. ry cooder, who plays his best guitar on other people’s records (beefheart, taj mahal), plays slide. his playing is ghoulish and note perfect. i think that’s a third guitar they use to make those haunted house sounds. by the time the drums really kick in at about 2:40, the engine is warm. a dark and very dirty song. murky stones at their best. dead flowers. sunshine after sister morphine. country stones singalong. homies could write a song. hanging w gram parsons. dude was kinda in every band about this time. moonlight mile. that's how to use strings in rock and roll. filthy great record. love the black and white stones records. only thing missing is a keith-sung tune. but that doesn't keep it from a 5.

New favorite stones song, Sister Morphine. Guitar Porn.

How these guys sound more American than the fucking Boss blows my mind. Still boggles me that these guys are english. Once again, I've heard all these songs out of context, but I can't recall sitting down and listening to this album all the way down. Blues, Country, Soul, all through the stones rock n roll blender. Nearly as timeless as Woodface by Crowded House (1981). It's more apparent than ever to me how much this band has been influenced by black american music. Did the rolling stones make it their own? It certainly seems like they have. Did they they do it enough? Have the paid proper tribute to Howlin' Wolf, Muddy waters, Chuck Berry etc...I have no clue. It must have been crazy to be english and hear the stones on the radio. I imagine american blues was adored....but had to be pretty niche. the stones probably sounded from another planet to the average english listener in 1971. Anyways, this shit is great. I love the horns on this album. So ahead of their time. It's fun to draw the line to modern acts I've consumed through my 20's and 30's like King Khan and the Shrines and Twin Peaks for instance... Near perfect. Good as ever. Hard 5.

Classic. One of the best ever.

As an Exile devotee I'm ashamed of sleeping on this one

This is probably the best Stones album. In between each hot is a fantastic song that is too good to be a b side

Yep!

Amazing chill country-type album. Really enjoyed

Muscle Shoals was good for the Stones. A masterpiece.

(29 known/59 new)

There are some stones albums on this list i haven't enjoyed. This is not one of them. This one is great. One of their best that I've heard Wild Horses is top 3 stones song. So good If this isn't the best Stones album, it's top 3. I like everything on it. It's gonna be a 5

Debated on 4.5 to 5 for a while before realizing I was intending to listen to the deluxe to check out the live sessions so another 5 in a row

This is one of the four golden Stones albums (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street) which are hard to separate so that they are almost a single work. They’ve outgrown Brian Jones’ conception of a blues band with a gift for kooky pop songs and become the full-throated sex, drugs and rock and roll band they were to remain, by and large, for the rest of time. Despite the famously dissolute recording process, during which Keef held court in his French chateau and occasionally deigned to make music, the whole thing holds together. Even Mick Taylor’s smart but slightly over-clean style couldn’t stop this humdinger of an album hitting the mark. Unzip it and get it on!

Not my favorite stones album but this one still surprises me a bit with how rock n roll these guys are.

The Stones the way I like them! Not 1 bad song on this album!

Classic

Excited to get this one

My new favourite Rolling Stones album. Well, bearing in mind they were already regarded as past it even in my teenage years why would I have ever bothered to listen a Rolling Stones album before now? This is therefore (at time of writing) my only favourite Rolling Stones album. It seems unbelievable that I'm in my 60s they're STILL going? At 90 odd. Or dead. Who knows. They only come out when the sun goes down. I love this album though. Aside from the superb Brown Sugar and even better Wild Horses the stuff-I-didn't-know is brilliant. Keef's solo on Can't You Hear Me Knocking. I had no idea! Outstanding. What? It's not Keef? It's Mick Taylor? Well fuck me - why did they let him leave? 5 any day of the week

The Rolling Stones at their very best with their ya-yas well and truly out, and swinging all over the place. It's loose, beautiful and swaggering - you can hear the heroin dripping out of every note. Favourite tracks: Sway, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile

Love love LOVE this one, easily my favourite Stones album. Wait I just remembered Let It Bleed, in strong competition with Let It Bleed for my favourite Stones album.

This album is a monster.

Yeah just a classic basically Probably a 4 from my listening but I feel obligated to give it a 5

Brilliant Album, one of their best.

Easy 5 stars. Ideally listened to as a complete album. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

Masterpiece

Duh.

WILD HORSES!!!! yes i've heard this one before, nice to go through another listen. Prolly the first stones album that I heard I think thanks to wild horses

Bienvenidos a los 70. Disco esencial. Brown sugar, Bitch, Wild Horses, Sister Morphine, la portada de Warhol.. 5/5

Yeah, this is a r&r masterpiece. It doesn't get tiresome like Rumors.

It's slightly odd listening to a British band blatantly commandeer southern rock and blues but it’s well done and is a very good album in all honesty. Highlight(s): Sway/Wild Horses/Dead Flowers/Moonlight Mile Lowlight(s): Sister Morphine

Classic rock is classic but god damn. Those tunes stick to your ribs.

One of the handful of acts where you can justify more than one album. And this is a good one. I prefer exile but many prefer this. They rock. They roll. They swagger. They strut. Wild horses will bring you to tears. Dead flowers. Bitch. Sister morphine. This is how you rock and roll. Emphasis on the roll.

Das zehnte Studioalbum der britischen Rockband. Es wurde in den renommierten Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama und in den Olympic Studios in London aufgenommen. Das Album markiert einen wichtigen Übergang in der Musikkarriere der Rolling Stones, da es sowohl die Reifung ihres Sounds als auch ihre zunehmende Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Musikstilen zeigt. Die Band, bestehend aus Mick Jagger (Gesang), Keith Richards (Gitarre), Charlie Watts (Schlagzeug), Bill Wyman (Bass) und Mick Taylor (Gitarre), liefert eine Mischung aus Rock, Blues und Country, die in vielen ihrer späteren Werke wiederzufinden ist. Besonders hervorzuheben sind Songs wie „Brown Sugar“, „Wild Horses“ und „Can’t You Hear Me Knocking“, die zu den bekanntesten und markantesten der Stones-Karriere zählen. „Brown Sugar“ ist dabei ein unüberhörbarer Klassiker, der mit seiner direkten Energie und provokativen Texten auf sich aufmerksam macht, während „Wild Horses“ eine eher sanfte, melancholische Seite der Band zeigt. Die Produktion von Sticky Fingers ist charakteristisch für die Ära der frühen 70er-Jahre und wirkt gleichzeitig roh und experimentell. Die Gitarrensoli von Mick Taylor, insbesondere in „Can’t You Hear Me Knocking“, sind ein prägendes Element des Albums. Musikalisch gesehen kombiniert das Album die Wildheit und Direktheit des Rock mit einem gewissen bluesigen Gefühl, das die Stones über die Jahre geprägt hat. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Sticky Fingers eines der prägendsten Alben der Rolling Stones darstellt. Es ist vielseitig, experimentell und enthält sowohl energiegeladene Rockhymnen als auch introspektive Balladen. Die Mischung aus kreativem Wachstum und der Erhaltung ihrer Rockwurzeln macht es zu einem wichtigen Meilenstein in der Bandgeschichte.

Yeah that was banging. A really good variety of blues there

I knew that this album would be good, but I didn't expect this. Wow wow wow. So many influences going on in this album and unknown tracks that just bannnnnnng. This will become one of my favorites in another listen I'm sure and is almost guarunteed to sound incredible on vinyl. 9/10 for now...

One of the Stones best. If no the best.

Has it really been nearly a year since the last time my group got a Rolling Stones album? 363 albums... Goodness. Well, I suppose with a gap like that, it's time for a bit of a refresher on my relationship to the Stones. To put it basically, when it comes to the debate about who's better, I've always preferred The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. From their early beat boy bands stuff to their later experimentation and pop masterworks, The Beatles have always been more up my album. The Rolling Stones, meanwhile, have kind of always just been a British blues and rock band to my ears. A **very good** British blues and rock band, yes, but nothing I've heard from them has gotten terribly close to the music I've loved from The Beatles. I've supposed that part of it could just be I've just been exposed to The Beatles more than The Stones — a whole-ass ROCK BAND game versus one song in GUITAR HERO III — but I think the music has spoken well enough for itself. I've just generally never had much interest in diving too deeply into the Stones' catalog. Frankly, I've always considered The Beach Boys more a point of comparison against The Beatles than The Rolling Stones. But let's put The Beatles aside. This is 1971, and they, as a group, haven't been a thing for one or two years. Let's focus strictly on the Stones: it's been two albums since BEGGARS BANQUET. They'd since released LET IT BLEED and the live album GET YER YA-YA'S OUT!. ALtmont continued to have been a disaster. Brian Jones had passed. What do The Rolling Stones have going on here? Well, lemme keep LET IT BLEED in mind, 'coz I think that's an important piece of the puzzle. See, I read on Wikipedia that this album was a return to basics and that got me a little worried. After all, that's what BEGGARS BANQUET was, and I didn't find much special about that album at all — or was it? There's actually a key distinction that needs to be made: BEGGARS BANQUET was a return to **roots** after the clusterfuck SGT. PEPPER'S wannabe that was THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST. STICKY FINGERS, on the other hand, was a return to **basics**. To me, that reads like at most they just dropped a lot of the unique instrumentation from LET IT BLEED, and that they're still keeping whatever songwriting philosophy they had there. And trust me, that's worth a **lot**. LET IT BLEED is one of the few Stones albums I've actually heard, and it's the one among all of them I'm the most excited to revisit. After all, it has two of the best songs they ever made: "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Those are songs that went well beyond what the Stones normally did without going over the top like THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST did, and they're both absolutely amazing for it. On STICKY FINGERS I feel like, by choice and necessity, they had to scale back on the ambition a little, but only enough that these still end up being incredible rock songs. Seriously, the worst they get is the lyrics on "Brown Sugar", but if you can manage to find a way to look past them (and that could be hard, I know)... Goodness. Honestly, despite how much I've talked before, I feel kind of speechless about how much I like this album. I knew the Stones always had it in them for an album I'd like just that much (AFTERMATH and BETWEEN THE BUTTONS both feel just a bit short), but... **Thus much**? I mean, let me put it like this: when the keyboard solo on "I Got The Blues" happened, I hadda stop writing for a second and make that kind of lip-biting stank face that expresses "Aw, hell yeah — now **this** is the good shit." No other Stones album has done that for me before. That's a big deal. In the end, I'm very confident giving this the highest praise I think I could give any Stones album: this is on the level as some of the best Beatles albums. Maybe a bit towards the bottom end, given some of the absolute gems those boys have, but still, it's up there. And even again putting The Beatles aside, it's still one of, if not the best Stones album I've ever heard — we'll hafta see if LET IT BLEED can surpass it when I can get around to it again. Either way, let me give this thing a 5. In my eyes, the band's reputation has been completely recovered, and I look forward to whatever record of theirs gets tossed my group's way next. Let's just hope it doesn't take another full year, huh?

I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5. Really, it’s only because the lyricism of “Brown Sugar” just gives me a bit of an ick, even though the energy on that track is fabulous instrumentally. That, and I think “Sway” was a little early in the album, and felt like a sort of artificial attempt to be bombastic so early on, and it just didn’t click for me. Should’ve been later in the album. Past that though, once this album really gets going on Wild Horses, it never stops – those last 8 tracks are a fantastic showcase of the Rolling Stones at what could arguably be their peak. This is only the second time we’ve gotten them on this list, and the first time in almost a year, so my experience with their repertoire is remarkably limited, but this is really good stuff. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards & the rest of the band have never sounded better to me, and perhaps it’s because so much of this album is secretly deeply rooted in country, even more so than Beggars Banquet was. Look no further than Dead Flowers, which might be my song of the album, though there’s genuinely really not a bad choice; Can’t You Hear Me Knocking has that super cool 4 minute samba-inspired instrumental with the sax rolling, Bitch is just pure classic rock, I Got The Blues has a really nice spiritual vibe only accentuated by the organ solo, Sister Morphine is a great example of how to make drug addiction sound reprehensible (with great imagery to boot), and Moonlight Mile is just a stellar closing track. Ultimately, the highs of this album are really, really high, and that’s why I feel good about bumping this up to a 5, even if the first 2 tracks didn’t vibe for me super well. It’s a breezy 46 minutes (well, OK, more like 38 for me), and it just makes me want to get even more of the Stones – call me Thanos, perhaps. I enjoyed the hell out of that.

This was a great album. It a was jam from start to finish.

Bluesy as hell, really enjoyed this one front to back

Amazing! So fun, jazz and blues, rock and roll. My fave so far

Wild Horses!

Classic

Growly tenor sax from Bobby Keys. Just a bluesy southern American rock album.

This is the Stones in their best period, full of energy (Brown Sugar), great lyrics (Wild Horses, Dead Flowers), classic bluesy riffs (Sister Morphine), and amazing instrumentals - Can't You Hear Me Knocking is a straight f*%ng banger.

They were on a roll (pun intended)!

The Rolling Stones are so incredibly versatile. I've heard this album before but they still had me guessing with each song. This is solid from start to finish and it's not hard to see why it's often regarded as their best album and one of the best rock and roll albums of all time.

Okay, this one gets the 5. Other albums are okay - this one feels more cohesive. 5/5

Masterpiece. No notes.

All timer

Very good album

This is obviously a classic. It’s crazy to think this was their ninth album, such a huge body of work for the Stones. This is quintessential stones, bluesy, rhythmic, rough and just super cool. The songs are fun, sexy, sometimes outright jammy (Can’t You Hear Me Knocking). The songs are great and have an amazing range from the balladry of Wild Horses, through the heavy dirge of Sister Morphine to the hard rocking riffs of Bitch. The stone showcase a range of songwriting and playing abilities. I love the production. It’s so airy and non compressed. Even though the music has an overall rugged feel, you can clearly hear everything and nothing is too in your face. Timeless classic from all time greats. Easy easy five stars.

The best R&B band in the world. Absolute class. More like this every day please.

Great album, first listen to the whole thing. Dead Flowers is a standout.

- No question. One of the great rock records. -

This is one of my all time favorite albums.

Fantastic album.

A Stones album from their great days. The opener is one of the greatest rock songs of all time, but it's a shame about the lyrics (to modern ears). A good set of Stones songs with a bit of a country blues tinge.

Excellent. Classic rock and roll. Every bit of it.

Natürlich ein Klassiker. Natürlich hohes Niveau. Natürlich die Rolling Stones.

Rock ‘n Roll. Decadent and dirty. Crystallized toxic masculinity with only a hint of redemption.

One question: Stones or Beatles? They are both great, both immensely important to the history of popular music. But deep down, you’re a one or the other kind of person. Gimme the Stones. This is the second to last album of the greatest four album run of all time. At the top of their game they could churn out all-killer-no-filler statements. This one has it all: homages to the music they loved and originals that take it all further. A perfect early 70s rock album from the time when they really were the greatest rock band in the world. Saved Songs: Sway Wild Horses Can’t you Hear Me Knocking (maybe the best stones song of all time!) Moonlight Mile

Now THIS is a rolling stones album. Every track deserved to be there, and something about each one makes it a total standout. Good stuff. Fav Songs: Dead Flowers, Wild Horses

It's hard to believe the Rolling Stones are still performing and releasing albums with new material 60 years into their career. I thought that by 1980, they were over the hill and that was 45 years ago! The band's albums had many peaks and valleys, but definitely the strongest period was the late 60's/early 70's records with Mick Taylor in the band. Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Yas Out!, and Exile On Main Street are peak Stones and in that era their best album was Sticky Fingers from 1971. Along with the "hits", Brown Sugar and Bitch, this record is filled with outstanding tracks that are solid, with no filler, with some of my favourite Stones songs of all-time that show-off the range and diversity of their music styles, Blues, Folk, Country, Soul, Jazz and straight-up Rock. Wild Horses, Dead Flowers, Sway, Sister Morphine and especially, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, which is a joy to the ears (wear headphones) with it's smooth instrumental interplay between Keith and Mick (the other Mick). An essential 5 star listen.

Really good Stones album. Great example of their southern blues influences.

Unimpeachable.

Dude! This was pretty darn good! I haven't really listened to the stones that much. This will be a great start for me to listen to many times. I really dug the blueys songs.

It was good. Really good. Great song after great song. Wild Horses, while still immensely popular, is extremely underrated IMO and one of the top few Stones songs of all time.

Primera cancion, Brown Sugar, ritmica, pegadiza, muy stone, para bailar como el clasico rolinga. Me gusta. Sway es una cancion lenta pero poderoza, melancolica y cancionera. I got the blues - buen solo de teclado

I forgot how fantastic this was. CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING imo is one of the greatest rock n' roll songs created. Sticks to a formula that, unfortunately, isn't replicated often. Pure fun, for funs sake!!

Among the very best rock records of all time.

Had not realised what a bell end Brian Jones was. Stones much better off without him. A class album. Possibly my favourite Stones album.

Dope

Anytime you start track-one side-one of an album talking about having sex with black women and track- one side-two with the song simply called Bitch you know you either seriously don’t care or you’re looking for some shock value. It was 1971 after all. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Sticky Fingers. This is actually one of the best Stones albums. Throughout this album arestrong hits such as Brown Sugar, and Wild Horses, one of the slowest & most beautiful songs that the Stones had ever played. What I appreciate about this album though is it’s easy to forget that Keith Richards was more than just the inspiration for Jack Sparrow but instead was a phenomenal guitar player in his own right. This album truly shows his diversity from the soft ballads to the bluesy to the hard rocks. I think my favorite song this listen, and there has been many, was Moonlight Mile. I’ve listened to it before but something about it tonight really hit me. Overall this album is an absolute classic.

another band i’ve yet to delve into but iconic nonetheless- white horse was my fav song, music insanely good and voice on par

Love me some Stones!

my grandpa's company manufactured the zippers on the original album cover

Pretty good. Wish more of the songs were like Brown Sugar. EDIT: Ok I underrated this. It's a banger album.

I was not expecting to like this album this much. It’s bluesy without being self indulgent, and every song has something special. Gosh and I forgot how much I liked Moonlight Mile! What a great album I’m glad I heard it in its entirety before I died.

great album, they're really growing on me, despite their rolling nature

It has some of the greatest moments the Rolling Stones ever created making it an essential part of their discography.

Wild Horses is in the running for best song of all time. Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is in the running for best guitar riff of all time. Moonlight Mile - pretty sure it’s the best album closer of all time. I dunno if I’ve ever listened to this record front to back but it might be my favorite Stones album now that I have.

4.5/5

A classic. Doesn't get much better than this

This was a solid release for The Rolling Stones. It’s a great blend of their earlier hard rock and blues rock, with some folk and country influences mixed in. The production is polished in some ways but still has a raw, gritty edge that brings out the stripped-down essence of rock and blues. The use of piano and saxophone is another standout feature, adding a soulful, laid-back feel to the album.

If you could only listen to a single Stones album, it might as well be this. Quintessential.

"Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" would be enough to make this any other band's best album

In my opinion, the best Stones album. The run of Brown Sugar to Can’t You Hear Me Knocking may be the best ever four song start to a rock album. Ending with Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile? Perfection.

The Stones at their best in my opinion. Great range of songs from ballads, to blues tracks, to straight fucking rockers.

This album is fantastic. So many classics and no duds. The Stones at their best? I think probably. What’s wrong with it? Nothing. It’s great. 5/5

This is pretty great. A lot of noodling that I probably wouldn't appreciate in a full-on jazz record, but the bluesy style saves it for me. Nice.

They’re one of the most famous bands of all time for a reason. Wild Horses is arguably a top 25 song of all time.

Rating: 10/10 Masterpiece, one of the greatest albums of all time and probably the Rolling Stones' best work. A true culmination of the band's best elements, this album has incredibly groovy blues rock songs and slower emotional ballads that are all stellar. A true classic. Favorite songs: pretty much all of them. Worst song: You Gotta Move.

This record is just amazing. Love the whole atmosphere, sounds and guitar riffs / solos. Would listen to this again and again.

This album could consist of only the opening guitar riff from Cant You Hear me Knocking followed by Alvin and The chipmunks singing Baby Shark on repeat and I would still have a hard time giving anything less than 5 stars.

Sticky Fingers is the Rolling Stones' ninth studio album, and is regarded by many as their best work. This was their first studio album without Brian Jones, and with Mick Taylor, who has joined the band for their previous release, the live album "Get your Ya-Yas Out." This album is of impressive range, in part due to a number of guests on the recording. The album includes ballads, like "Wild Horses," and chart-topping rockers, like "Brown Sugar." The band still embraced their reputation as the "bad-boys" of rock, see "Bitch," and their early, blues-based recording, like "I got the Blues." In addition to the famous tracks, there are the surprises in the deeper cuts, like "Moonlight Mile." This range is one of the arguments supporting the band's claim to be the world's greatest rock & roll band.

Objectively perhaps their best. I’m more likely to listen to Some Girls if both are in front of me, but I recognize that this album as a whole is better overall.

Starkes Album von den Stones. Ich habe leider nur die CD und nicht die Platte mit dem legendären Reißverschluss-Cover

The best Stones album, maybe. Between this and Exile you can’t go wrong.

Superb. “Moonlight Mile” is one of my favourite Rolling Stones songs. I wasn’t familiar with the album, but I loved every track.

Enjoyed this

classic for a reason

Cool

Almost finished the album but was always going to give it a 5. Dad was saying that more a collection of great singles than album but I don't think that really matters. Brown sugar, wild horses, sister morphine, dead flowers and moonlight mile are top tier. 4.7 rounded up.

Unreal

Classic stones, some great tracks, what's not to like?

Gran disco

Timeless!

Great

While the album cover may be iconic, I'm not a big. I am, however, a big fan of this album. So many bangers it's hard to imagine where Martin Scorsese's career would be without the impactful tunes of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Bitch." Then add combo the iconic "Brown Sugar," and "Wild Horses," you just can't really argue that this could easily be their best studio album. Absolutely incredible.

Woaw

Pretty awesome, can’t you hear me knocking is the bees knees.

I have loved this album since forever ♥️♥️♥️

There’s a reason the majority of the songs on this album are all time classics. Bitch and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking are standouts. Moonlight Mile is a lush & soulful closer. Brown Sugar is a victim of cancel culture but the times they are a-changin’

Side one is as rip roaring as the Rolling Stones get. Side two slows things down a bit. But there's no fat here at all. As consistent as any Stones album with some outright gems in both the rager and ballad camps.

Classic album with a great range of tracks what a rythym section

It doesn’t may if you like the Stones or not, if you even kind of enjoy Rock and Roll, this album is a classic. So many absolute beasts of songs.

Man, the Stones really were unstoppable from 1968-1972. They weren't shy of exploring various flavours of rock, country, blues, and more, but the balancing act was absolutely perfect on this album. All members are in fine form and more than half the album is A-tier or above. Consider the sheer hookiness of 'Brown Sugar'. The understated beauty of 'Wild Horses'. The unique and epic jamming on Can't You Hear Me 'Knocking'. Their now-honed-and-perfected authentic country-roots sound on 'Dead Flowers'. The swagger (and killer horn session) of 'Bitch'. The hauntingly melancholy of 'Sister Morphine'. The beautiful introspection and strings on 'Moonlight Mile'. The sleazy cover of 'You Gotta Move' is probably the only weaker track that isn't great in isolation, but as an interlude closing out side A it works great in context. On it's own I don't know how to give it anything but top marks. But in the context of the albums on either side of it, it also firmly makes the case for The Rolling Stones to have one of the best four-album runs in music history.

Alveg 5 stjörnu plata. Klassik.

Mi disco favorito de los Stones. No sé si objetivamente será el mejor, pero es el que (valga la redundancia) objetivamente disfruto más. Todas las canciones tienen una producción espectacular y se extienden de formas creativas con un sonido único que sólamente podría emanar de unos Rolling Stones ya maduros. Mis canciones favoritas del trabajo son "Bitch" y "Can you hear me knocking". Antes, como fiel fanático de The Beatles, no me gustaban los Stones; hasta que un amigo me recomendó este LP y cambié de parecer totalmente, así que encuentro que es una buena partida para cualquiera que se quiera meter a la discografía de los legendarios rockeros. Por favor escuchar, un esencial del imaginario musical inglés y mundial.

Discazo. Arranca arriba con Azúcar marrón. Muy buenas las menos conocidas Sway y Can't you hear me... Sumados los ya clásicos Wild houses y You gotta Move que corresponden con estilos bien distintos. De las siguientes a mi me destaca Sister morphine. Y Dead flowers es una canción que tiene que tener todo lo que tiene que tener, estribillo, interpretación, vocalización. Claramente, un gran disco de principio a fin

The soundtrack to every Martin Scorsese film. In all seriousness, this is such amazing piece of art from start to finish which ends with one of my favorite Stones songs - Moonlight Mile. 5/5

Amazing Exciting, corrupt, tuneful.

Great album!

My old boss gave me the original album with the working Zipper.... and I don't think really appreciated the stones till much later in life.... Wild horses and brown sugar two of my favorite tracks from the stones... I appreciate them so much more now than 50 years ago... that album sadly is not with me any more.

Still have the vinyl & it still gets a 5.

This album is already on my personal list of top 20 or so albums, so no surprises here. But always good to go back and revisit a familiar favorite. Moonlight Mile is one of my all-time favorite songs. 🎶”I got silence on my radio. Let the air waves flow. Let the air waves flow.”🎶 5/5 Highlights: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking You Gotta Move I Got The Blues

In the late 60's early 70's the Rolling Stones released in quick sucession Beggars Banquet (1968), Let it Bleed (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971) and Exile on Mainstreet (1972) which forms the highlight of their repertoire. Of this complete tour de force Sticky Fingers is in my opinion the top. Not only because, unlike on some of the other albums, there is not a skippable song to be found here, but also with the masterful flow this album has. Starting off uptempo with 'Brown Sugar' it then slowly settles to the ballad 'Wild Horses' via the slow rocker of 'Sway', then to pick up again with 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking.' And a highlight of this album is the heartbreaking and terrifying 'Sister Morphine', with the electric slide of Ry Cooder. Possibly the Stone's best song. This is the Stones at their best

there was a time I thought it would be like this every day

My dad was a big Rolling Stones fan so no doubt I was listening to this in the womb and it's music is imprinted into my stem cells. The whole album is good (even the country-ish songs) but there are two songs on this album that I find outstanding. Can You Hear Me Knocking - starts off with a bang with that guitar riff. Then there is this part where it transitions into a sax groove, then it starts to sound like a Santana song, then everything is thrown in a blender and ends with a single beat. I was curious about the saxophone so looked the song up in Wikipedia. Apparently, it was only supposed to be the first few minutes, but they kept jamming thinking that the recording was over. The second half was a happy mistake. I think that demonstrates what great band/musicians they were. Second song is Bitch. Rocking rock song and again with horns!

There may be better Stones albums, but this is definitely a good one. Most of the youtube songs were 2008 remasters, and while I don't have the originals to compare to, the remastering probably contributed to my enjoyment to give it a richer sound than the typical early 70's mixing had.

Wonderful Stones album. One I keep returning to. Super bluesy too.

Includes classics like Brown Sugar and Wild Horses - super solid all around

The Stones at their sharpest, nastiest, sweetest, heaviest, and best. Let’s just try to forget the words to that first song. Best song: Wild Horses

A really good album.

The truth is, I don't really listen to a lot of classic rock anymore. It just doesn't blow my hair back like it used to, but god damn, the Stones were just the best pure rock band ever and no amount of time seems to change that.

Perhaps the Stones’ best album? I literally don’t hear a bad cut on it and the opener brown sugar is as strong opening as they ever had and for the Stones, that’s really saying something—highly highly recommended.

Six stars !

The best of the Stones, easily. 4.5 stars

One of the Holy Quadrangle of Stones albums

“Wild Horses” is one of the GOATs

One of my favorite albums of all time — a classic.

10/10

Probably the best Stones album and my second favourite album to drink 1000 beers to. Dennis Leary has this bit where he says he wants to open a bar called O’Leary’s that only serves Budweiser and Bushmills and only plays the Stones and that’s what I think of when I listen to this album.

4.6 Quintessential stones

Yes, Mick and Keef, I can hear you knocking …

Great album, the Stones were at their peak.

My fingers aren’t the only thing sticky after that. Simpsons: Yes

The Rolling Stones is a great band. What's not to love about them?

I'm very glad that I finally found a Rolling Stones album that I love. I really appreciate the more mature and stripped down sound this album brings. The lyrics feel more personal and heartfelt. This album is a great example of less-is-more, and is a masterpiece as a result

Wild Horses, what a classic. Absolutely love it! Makes me want to chill outside listen to this song and sing my little heart out.

You probably have heard all of these songs without actually listening to this album, which is both testament to the strength of the album and emblematic of the Stones’ oversaturation which results in a type of fatigue at hearing their music, in my opinion. My first instinct is to give this a four, but I have no good reason to take away a star.

TOP

Maybe perfect

Excellent

Good old Classic Rock and Country-Songs. The greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world!

this, in my opinion, is the stones at their best. the album has all of the qualities of what makes a great stones album without none of the bloat of some of their (one of their) highly acclaimed albums. the album comes out with a blaze of aggression and keeps the attitude going. 'sway' is one of my secret favorite stones songs, and 'wild horses' is one of my not-secret favorite stones songs. even when the album downturns to the more acoustic "traditional" blues sound, like "you gotta move" the album doesn't quit. what makes the stones the stones is the oomph their albums give, and this is one of the oomphiest albums around. one of my favs!

The Stones in their pomp. Almost like a greatest hits LP and second only to Exile on Main Street in my opinion. Top drawer.

Def top 2 stones, possibly top 1. Unbelievably consistent and comprised of some the Stones’ best songs ever. Favs: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile Least favs: Sway (which is still just ok, not bad, only the worst in the context of this legendary tracklist) Rating: 9+ Side note: pretty crazy that this came up as the first album i got on this website as it was the album i was listening to when i had the idea to look for a website like this and I was in the middle of can’t you hear me knocking when this lp was picked, gave me a good a double take.

Je sais pas s’il mérite vraiment un 5, mais fuck it j’lui en donne un quand même. Brown Sugar commence l’album tel un uppercut, Sway et Wild Horse te rajoute une couche de mélancolie parfumée qui t’amène à Can’t You Hear Me Knocking qui te re-uppercut en un solo instrumental de 5 minutes. S’ensuit de supers tounes folk/bluesy, qui mène vers Moonlight Mile, concluant magnifiquement l’album.

Amei o álbum!

I never owned this one and probably haven't listened all the way through very many times, but it's so good!

Ok so this was a pretty fucking good album but I guess that is a surprise to pretty much no one

Me gusta mucho.

Now we're talking! My favorite Stones album. It's great from beginning to the end. If there's a Rolling Stones album that should be on the 1001 album list it's this one.

The album rocks! As in RAWKS!! Perfect rock album by “the greatest band in the world”. If you don’t love this album you have shitty taste in music.

Sticky Fingers is an absolute classic. Starting from the album cover it just presents that rawness that the Stones achieve so well. They bring their influences to the forefront and revive these old blue standards. What makes it great is that the songs themselves are amazing but inspire the listener to dive deeper into where this influences come from and go out to seek those artists such as Leadbelly and Muddy Waters. It's a brilliant piece of art from Britains most premiere R&B band. It's right up their with Zeppelin and Sabbath for albums of the 70s

Bloody brilliant. If you want to understand what makes the Rolling Stones are so great, start here.

Jeg er meget glad for Rolling Stones, men de er ikke det største albumband. Det her er dog en kæmpe undtagelse, simpelthen et af de bedste rockalbums der findes, alle numre er fantastiske. Nem 5'er. Som at komme hjem at høre det igen ❤️ en af mine all time personlige favoritter

Great record. Great ballads. Set of first four songs is simply outstanding.

Such a unique sound

An ALL TIME Favorite!!!

Het moment is daar! Misschien wel mijn all time favorite band.. ach wie hou ik voor de gek. Het is gewoon mijn nummer 1. Mijn pa heeft dit album thuis liggen met een limited edition hoes (1e uitgave als ik het niet mis heb), waarbij je echt de rits kan open en dichtmaken. Mede daardoor heeft de hoes van jongs af aan indruk op me gemaakt, en blijkbaar had ik al vroeg een uiterst kunstzinnige smaak, aangezien Andy Warhol achter dit kleine kunstwerkje zit. Brown Sugar is een geweldige binnenkomer. Menig Stones fan zou de aan de eerste twee akkoorden al kunnen horen dat het gespeeld is door Keith, die zo een onmiskenbaar dikke stempel op het gehele album gezet heeft. Vaak wordt Mick Jagger als de grote koning en belangrijkste spil van de Stones gezien, maar ik denk dat door de decennia heen er langzamerhand een paradigmaverschuiving gaande is: Keith is de onbetwiste koning van de Stones. Hij is dit geluid nooit verloren: hoe knoestig zijn handen ook geworden zijn. Van Wild Horses heb ik altijd gezegd: dit mag op mijn begrafenis gespeeld worden. Misschien een beetje cliché, maar het nummer heeft veel emotionele waarde voor mij. De gevoelige nummers zijn misschien niet het eerste waar je aan denkt bij de Stones, maar toch hebben ze een aardig repertoire (Angie, Sister Morphine, Waiting on a Friend, Ruby Tuesday, Wild Horses). Sway is eentje die ik met de tijd meer ben gaan waarderen. De outro solo van Mick Taylor is gigantisch goed. Bij Can't You Hear Me Knocking is al helemaal duidelijk dat Mick Taylor van de partij was. Hij verving de net verdronken Brian Jones eigenlijk heel goed. Dat bleek al bij de voorafgaande albums Get Yer Ya Ya's Out en Let It Bleed. De Stones hebben mede dankzij Taylor een enorm succes geboekt, zijn periode wordt nog vaak aangeduid als de Golden Era. De uit de hand gelopen jamsessie bij Can't You Hear Me Knocking is echt een genot, Mick Taylor heeft net als Keith een herkenbaar, eigen gitaargeluid. Scherp, op de maat, verfijnde techniek. Keith is de knoestige (ja, ik pak elk moment aan om dit woord te gebruiken) laatste man, Mick Taylor de wendbare kleine buitenspeler met een strakke pass. Een geheel andere dynamiek dan met Brian Jones er nog bij. (Tip: Luister eens naar de alternate version van dit nummer op spotify, leuke afwisselaar) You Gotta Move zou voor sommigen een beetje buiten de boot vallen in vergelijking met de andere nummers op het album. Het nummer is niet origineel, maar afkomstig van de Afro-Amerikaanse spirituele zanger Mississippi Fred McDowell (Hoe chill kan je artiestennaam zijn?). Maar als Stones fan kan je ook dit waarderen. De zeurende stem van Jagger is zo vervelend nog niet. Het hoort er bij. De stalen slideguitar van Keith klinkt net als altijd als thuiskomen voor mij. Bij Bitch komen de uitstekende blaaspartijen weer naar de voorgrond. Een enorm swingende bluesrock song. Noem een blues of rock artiest die beter blazers kan inzetten dan de Stones. Ik wacht. I Got The Blues vind ik eigenlijk het allerbeste Stones nummer van het album. De blazers zijn geweldig, maar de solo van het hammond orgeltje dat je hoort na ongeveer 2 minuten is zo goed. Voor Sister Morphine is een ware slide guitar legend aangetrokken: Ry Cooder. Ook wel bekend als de man die later de gehele soundtrack van Paris, Texas ingespeeld heeft. De film heb ik laatst gekeken, wat een genot was de muziek alleen al. Het tumbleweed gehalte is off the charts. Dead Flowers is een andere personal favorite. Verassing: het gaat weer over heroïne. "I'll be in my basement room, with a needle and a spoon. And another girl to take my pain away". Ach, wat zwaar zou jij het hebben gehad Mick. Moonlight Mile is de magische afsluiter die het album verdient. Mick Jagger zingt vermoedelijk over het neerkomen van een (cocaïne)high. Toepasselijk, de luisteraar mag nu ook even bijkomen van de geweldige rollercoaster genaamd Sticky Fingers. Rating: 10/10 Highlights: Brown Sugar, Sway, I Got The Blues, Bitch, Moonlight Mile

This is what I was hoping to hear from the Stones. A little more subdued, and every song felt like a slightly different genre. Some simple yet beautiful acoustic guitar, strings and even some worldly sounding drums at times.

Incredible album all the way through. One of my favorites Stones albums so far

Good songs from front to back. Internet brainrot has ruined You Gotta Move for me. Absolutely love the horns on Bitch.

One of the greatest R&R lps ever

Rolling Stones return to basics with a straight blues rock record. The previous 4 albums were lush and triumphant with excessive production. In contrast, Sticky Fingers is fairly barebones, with lots of simple repetitive melodies, pop hooks, and an even mix of ballads and hard rock, with influences from blues, folk, jazz, and country. Out of all the Rolling Stones albums, this is probably the most focused one with the greatest songwriting, with clear melodies that highlight and compliment the storytelling. All the songs are memorable with tight production and fantastic songwriting. The ballads aren't really my thing, even "Wild Horses" which most people really love, but they do grow on me. It's one of those albums where if you're expecting to dance and rock out to all the songs like "Brown Sugar", then you're gonna be disappointed. "You Gotta Move" is one of those cool ideas that drags on and bores you, could have been just a 30 second interlude. "I Got The Blues" is another ballad I didn't like, soul-inspired, but relatively boring and long. I like the basic yet accessible blues rock "Bitch" and country rock "Dead Flowers" even if they don't offer much more besides good vibes. Track ordering evenly splits the harder songs and ballads back and forth. Usually I'd hate that but it works alright here. Helps keep me engaged in each track. "Brown Sugar" is an excellent opener to hype up the album, and "Moonlight Mile" is a beautiful and atmospheric closer. This album also features "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", one of my favorite songs of all time. I really wish they had more mind-blowing jam songs like that.

Very good classic rock and roll. No duds at all, and great performances by everyone throughout!

Damn fine album. Perhaps the best Rock n Roll band ever. Not their best work, but 4.8 gets it close. Rounding up a star.

A great Stones album and a great rock album! Worthy of this list.

Obviously 5 stars…

The funny thing about the Stones is that living through these moments I always considered them to be one of the weaker acts amongst giants….but in this list you quickly realize just how good they are.

a Rolling Stones classic full of drug references, what could be better?

This is real Stones doing what they do best.

This is a superb album. I’d give it a 5 easy just for Can’t You Hear Me Knockin, Sister Morphine and Moonlight Mile. No filler on this one.

It’s the Stones

One of Mick & Keef's finest.

I think it's a masterpiece.

cool rock ;-)

Classic and gorgeous

Cock 7

Top 5

Fantastic Stones album, practically a greatest hits and with Mick Taylor. Awesome!

Love this album. Wild Horses & Sister Morphine are my favorites

This is the third Rolling Stones album I've had come up , and they have all been excellent. This was easily the best of the lot so far. Not one bad track, I listened to it three times on loop it was that good. Will be listening regularly from here on.

I maintain that the Stone’s run between Beggar’s Banquet and Exile On Main Street is one of the most perfect in popular music. Sticky Fingers is the third album in that run, and in many ways it’s possibly the best, or at least the most refined. The real mvp of this album is the excellent second side, which is by turns beautiful, heartbreaking and so, so, soulful

Iconic

Zipper cover! 4.5/5

Classic Greatness - 5 stars BTW - I see some reviews comparing them to Led Zep and others and rating lower because of that. Why? They are a completely different band and style.

Pretty pretay pretayyyyu great. Diverse styles and paces throughout

This is one of the greatest albums ever made. Top to bottom, every song deserves its place on the record. Good songwriting, great execution by the band, and a unique sound that helped shape rock and roll for generations.

love

The best!

Not much to add, one of the greatest records ever made by one of the world's biggest and best bands.

Amazing how good it still sounds. Rock and roll pioneers who are still at it in their geezerhood. It’s an incredibly hard life that only looks easy. Mick is a brilliant survivor.

Can't believe I haven't heard this album before. Only one or two songs I wasn't huge on, but even those are still really good. Every other song on thos album I REALLY enjoyed. Amazing album, and it has definitely motivated me to listen to more of The Rolling Stones. 5/5, 10/10.

Know it too well

Great record. It’s the start of pouting strutting Mick that endures to this day. Plus some slow bluesy stuff. Great!

10 / 10 Rolling Stones en estado puro.

Son los Rolling Stones, Rock excelente.

The Stones at their best. Production is great too.

A classic and my favourite Rolling Stones album. Love the mix of blues and rock on this album.

All time great, makes stuff I rated as high seem like I was being too generous earlier. Sway stood out this time to me, but I like it all so much (nb: dead flowers is only song that I'd maybe be fine without hearing every time I run through this album).

Pure rock n roll, this is prime Jagger and Richards partnership, possibly there greatest ever work 5/5

Rock and roll perfection. 5/5

The weakest of the stretch of 4 albums that defines the Stones for me (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, SF, and Exile on Main St.) but still a solid 5 for me because the other three are all so superb. The first album to fully include Mick Taylor on guitar, and he shines throughout, especially on Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, a seven minute, one take song that turned into a long jam. No Keith lead vocals anywhere on the album, but lots of horns. Released 6 weeks before I turned 16, this was a basement playing cards staple. I owned the original zipper cover back then.

Surprised myself—I’ve tried the four “must listen” Stones albums before (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Exile, and this) and never felt they deserved their reputation. Decided they were a singles band and went back to 40 Licks. This time around, this one really clicked. Favorites include I Got the Blues, Sway, and Wild Horses. Not so much: Brown Sugar, You Gotta Move.

Any album with Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile is a guaranteed 5.

one hell of an album by one of the all time great rock and roll bands. gritty blues rock with plenty of swagger. highlights: “wild horses”, “can’t you hear me knocking”, “sister morphine”

Awesome

One of the best - brings back so many memories!

One of the Stones best albums.

Fantastic album, great songs, solid musicianship!

Bops all through

One of my all time favorites with my favorite song - Can't you hear me knocking. The perfect rock album.

these fellas are alright. their instruments are the real love-makers here.

I need to hear Some Girls again before I say this is my favorite Stones Album, but it probably is. It has a polished feel that sets it apart, but each song feels like a unique success. They stand apart and on their own some are gritty and vulgar others sweepingly beautiful. Warhol’s iconic design is icing on the cake.

Te sumerge en un clima muy especial, con varios matices. Definitivamente un disco Stone que te transporta.

Only listened to a couple songs. The Rolling Stones always comes out with good vibes music

One of, if not the favorite album of theirs for me behind maybe Let it Bleed. Great, great stuff.

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

Brown Sugar is a great song from the Stones.

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

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.

What a classic album no skips 10/10

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...

Brilliant! Great! Well Done to everyone! 4.7

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

Classic rock and roll!

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.

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.

Dang, so so good!

Love this album

This album fucking rocks

predivan✨

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
