Sticky Fingers

Rolling Stones albums can be patchy at best but this is one of the exceptions I feel 4.5*

Great and soulful ballads!

Heheh that other guy said soliloquy.

Duh. An absolute classic

Pretty cool!

I really love The Rolling Stones , so i didnt even needed to listen to that playlist to know it's banger.

Ok so this is the best Rolling Stones Record, glad I know that now.

I hate the blues but I quite like blues-y. This falls largely on the right side of that distinction for me. In songs like Brown Sugar and B*tch, Keith's licks are tight and to the point and brilliant and Mick is in great peacock strutting form. Wild Horses is terrific. To be honest the only real stinker is You Gotta Move. I've just replaced the word 'mostly' in the second sentence with 'largely'. I don't even mind Moonlight Mile that much.

GOATED

Album 957 of 1089 The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers (1971) Rating : 5 / 5 What a ride this one is. It starts off hard and confident with “Brown Sugar,” one of their most iconic singles, and doesn’t let up until the much more reflective “Moonlight Mile.” Everything in between holds its own, giving this album a balance of swagger and soul that few bands ever achieve. This shows the Stones stretching their sound without losing their edge. You get the raw rock energy they’re known for, but also flashes of country, blues, and even tenderness — tracks like “Wild Horses” and “Dead Flowers” show a side that often gets overshadowed by their hits. For anyone who only knows the Stones from radio play, this one might surprise you. It’s a great listen from start to finish, packed with variety and attitude but grounded in genuine musicianship. The band was firing on all cylinders here — it’s easy to see why this one still sits near the top of their catalog.

Not the biggest fan as I feel they have made better albums such as Some Girls. But still liked the great riffs in this album and its bluesy vibe.

The Rolling Stones are always welcome!

I could tell this was good but it also didn't grab my attention viscerally. So somewhat of a discordant internal review

Je me sens sale

C'est pas du rock de clown ça. 4.95 étoiles

My favorite Stones album. It's just good blues rock from start to finish. Moonlight Mile might be the best Stones song ever. Dead Horses is excellent, but the real gem on this album is Can't You Hear Me Knocking. This is indeed an album you must hear before you die. 5/5

Bluesey country rock. Overall good. Front half was great.

I liked Sticky Fingers much better compared to Exile on Main Street, but I'm not sure why..maybe it felt deeper and it was soooo long. I loved the build up on Sister Mophine.

love this record

The Rolling Stones have so many great songs but not a lot of great albums. This one being one of the few exceptions.

Ja, hva skal en si? Noen godlåter, men ikke helt etter min smak.

Own this one. like most Stones albums, the hits are great, but the other songs are OK. of the rest of the songs, the one that stood out was "Dead Flowers". good album all together but it's not one of my go-to's when i put a Stones record on (that's usually "Exile on Main Street"

I always forget that just about every Rolling Stones album is an odd conglomeration of rock, country, and blues songs. Only their rock songs tend to make the radio or greatest hits so not very representative of what they actually sound like. It was always hard for me to listen to a complete Stones album since the transitions were so jarring. But this album I actually think they nail it. It works well and I really enjoyed it. I think this album best represents what the Rolling Stones probably wanted to sound like. Moonlight Mile was a nice gem I never heard before.

Super solid. Couple could be tossed out. Bitch has the most fun vibe for me

A few cuts are really good. However some are just the opposite.

When I listen to an album, I try to rate it like I’m listening to it for the first time. That way it doesn’t skew my rating based on songs I’ve heard before. Also, I can envision the album for its artistic and revolutionary ground breaking value at that moment in time and then presently for its test over time. With that said, I love the horns and rawness of “can you hear me knocking” and the blues progression in most songs… especially Dead Flowers. All in all, a very solid album top to bottom except a song or two.

Perhaps the best Stones album? It never quite reached the range and peaks of their other albums, but it also knew what it wanted to be -- consistently great rock and roll.

Really liked some of the guitar riffs here, but mostly bounced off this one

Love everything from the Stones in this era.

I like "Wild Horses". The rest of the tracks are good but not quite good enough for me to bump above a 3-star (though it's close). This seems to be a recurring theme for me with Rolling Stones. I like the sound, but the songs are just OK.

Solid, but not exceptional beyond the couple bigger hits. At least it's smart enough to no overstay it's welcome.

There's always 1-3 solid songs (plus 1-2 familiar hits) on the Stones' albums we've had so far - along with what feels like a lot of filler. & the solid songs often feel like they're aping better (Tina Turner back in the day) or lesser known (every blues artist Mick wishes he was) artists. Here, the songs I was pleasantly surprised by were 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' until it sprawled into a shitty jam session and 'You Gotta Move' (which definitely owes a debt to the uncredited woman singing on the track along with the originally uncredited writed, Fred McDowell). The filler is pretty much everything that's not 'Brown Sugar' or 'Wild Horses.' So another typically Stones album where glimmers of brilliance are subsumed by mediocrity + knowing the brilliance was 60% copied.

I want to love Rolling Stones but they just feel a bit meh

Great blues rock songs, dancing music

Loose, bluesy, groovy, and boozy - one of their best.

Great album! Good songs and live the stones!

Try as I might, I’ve just never fully gotten into the Stones. I like their big hits but most of the lesser known songs haven’t done much for me. I know this is one of their best albums but I just didn’t do it for me. I like the bluesy nature of it, Mick Jagger is a solid vocalist and Keith Richards masterfully plays on this but idk, I’ve always preferred the Beatles to the Stones.

A classic for a reason, lots of fun!

Weltklasse

The Stones really only do one thing. However, they may be the best who ever did that one thing. This is them at the top of their game.

didn’t really hit for me, but I get why it’s a classic.

4 Stars (11/15)

*1971 *Big hits: Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. *Bluesy and southern rock ala CCR. RATING - 7.5/10

Couple of classics but struggled a bit with the more bluesy tracks. last 3 were crackers though.

What an incredible record. Front to back it is so engaging and well-produced. The moods that they carry with them throughout its sequence is such a great example of what music's capacity is, let alone in one record. "Wild Horses" is forever a timeless song, capturing such a vibe. "I Got the Blues" had me fooled for a second before Mick got on the mic, thinking I was listening to an Otis Redding track. Keith absolutely wails on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and on many others - his creativity with his instrument really resonates, both figuratively and literally. As this is my inaugural listen to this record, I can't quite give it a 5 as it doesn't meet my requirements for such a record just yet, but I imagine it will before I die.

Very Blues influenced. I didn't realise the Rolling Stones were that Blues influenced. Very trying to be american despite being british

Can’t You Hear Me Knocking was a song I had on repeat during my classic rock phase in high school. Absolutely killer song. Solid album overall! I really liked I Got the Blues and Moonlight Mile, those were new songs for me. I think this is the first Rolling Stones album I've listened to all the way through. I always just listened to specific songs, that's it. Solid project! 3 1/2 (if i could do halves on this thing).

In

ROLLING STONEESSSSSS

Just became my favorite Stones album. What a great BAND album.

I don't normally go in for classic rock, but I think Sticky Fingers earns it's place.

Terrific

The Stones at their best.

Classic!

My fingers are a little sticky, hehe, if you know what I'm sayin (the toilet paper ripped mid wipe)

One of the finest albums by one of the greatest bands of all time (and, my personal favourite band).

It's sleazy, dirty sounding blues rock music. I don't think it's anything more or anything less. It's decent enough. I just don't think I'll ever be a Stones guy. I much prefer The Beatles, Led Zep, and probably most of the popular bands around at the same time. 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' is a great song I can't deny that. 'Brown Sugar' though popular, I find pretty bland and nothing special. This is probably sacrilege but Susan Boyle did a version of 'Wild Horses' that I think is infinitely better, and more beautiful and I will die on that hill. I just don't think I'll ever get the hype around the Stones. As much as Jagger is a very eccentric frontman with a distinctive voice, I think they were around at the right time playing the right (pretty bland for my tastes) music.

The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers finds the band leaning hard into the bluesy swagger and country-rock textures that Mick Taylor’s arrival helped reignite. There’s a looseness to the performances, a sense that the Stones are sinking deeper into their American influences while still polishing their signature dangerous charm. Though it doesn’t consistently reach the towering heights of their last two albums, the record still delivers enough grit, sleaze, and soul to feel like a crucial chapter in their reinvention. From the instantly recognizable riff that kicks off “Brown Sugar” to the dust-covered longing of “Wild Horses,” Sticky Fingers proves the Stones were still writing future standards with ease. But it’s the darker corners—like the narcotic haze of “Sister Morphine”—that show how far they were willing to push their sound and subject matter. A little uneven, maybe, but undeniably the sound of a great band confidently expanding its empire.

My wife was just talking about brown sugar the day before, but she was enjoying a pop-tart. I mean…

Another Rolling Stones album! Another one I don't have. I like this more than Exile. Great album. 4 Heard before? Some Owned: No: 24/98 (24%) Will I get? Yes

Classic Stones from the early years!

My favorite Stones album. It’s just so dirty and Bobby Keyes sounds so damn good

I can’t believe Brown Sugar has been around for over 50 years and it wasn’t until the Stones themselves decided not to play it anymore that it became topical to the general rock audience. It’s not my favourite Stones song but still. I like this album overall. Sway and Can’t you Hear me Knocking are stand out tracks. This could be 5/5 if not for Brown Sugar.

Brown Sugar Sway Wild Horses Can't You Hear Me Knocking Bitch I Got the Blues Sister Morphine Dead Flowers Moonlight Mile

J'ai développé une anxiété du transport aérien avec le temps. J'ai toujours Sticky Fingers et Exile on Main St. à porté d'écoute en avion pour me calmer.

Un bijou d'album. Alice m'a dit: t'écoutes encore du Bob Dylan?! pendant que Sister Morphine jouait. Coup de coeur pour You Gotta Move et Moonlight Mile. J'aime l'alternance des gros rocks, des ballades et des blues dans les albums des Rolling Stones.

Je connais peu les Stone, mais voicin l’album que je connais déjà! Quel début d’album avec Brown Sugar, Sway et Wild Horses. Puis plus tard Sister Morphine. Maudite gang de rockers drogués.

Listen, I get the Rolling Stones in terms of their cultural impact and history. I get why their music speaks to a certain generation, but they just aren't for me. Even some of their best tracks don't move me one way or the other. I appreciate their music but at the end of the day I've determined they just aren't my taste. All that to say Sticky Fingers was okay, just like a lot of their music, for me.

Ist okay, aber werde ich mir nicht noch mal anhören.

Endlich hab ich die Rolling Stones für mich entdeckt - hatte es so lange schon vor und hab’s bisher nie geschafft. Mein Vater wird sich freuen. Unfassbarer Drive durch das hard panning der Gitarren

Hat mir gar nix gegeben. Laierte vor sich hin. Einzig positiv: Es ging schnell zu Ende und hat nicht gestört. Hab mehr erwartet. 2/5

Sehr gut, dass die jetzt hier kommt. Wollte mich ohnehin vor kurzem mit dem Album befassen. Schön bluesig, mag den Gitarrensound und besonders die Bläser. Stabil gut, für mich persönlich nicht bahnbrechend.

Classic is as classic does.

sticky fingers

Some excellent songs, but more country than I prefer. I was more of a Doors and Beatles fan. A very important album for rock and roll in any case.

Saxes!

Mick Jaeger takes his coffee like he takes his women: Black

A classic only marred by my least favourite stones song (wild horses)

album cover 10/5 haha (makes me think of spinal tap) some good stuff in here, but not my fav rolling stones.

I like the instrumentation more than I expected but just not a fan of his singing style.

I haven’t listened to much of The Rolling Stones, in fact, this might be the most I have listened to them. The album felt too repetitive for me, though I did enjoy myself most of the time.

I think of myself as someone who doesn't really care for The Rolling Stones. I don't actively dislike them, I've just never found them very compelling. After listening closely to this album, I think it's just Mike Jagger that I don't like. When Jagger isn't singing, I really dig the bluesy, country rock. The guitar is great! There's a surprising amount of sax! But Jagger's voice feels tedious to me and I found myself mostly hoping he would just shut up already. The cringy misogyny and unexamined racism doesn't help. So, I feel mixed, many of the songs are catchy, pop sugar but while this listen made me think a little harder about why I feel the way I do about The Rolling Stones, it didn't really change the conclusion. The cover is great though, very appropriate, that's a 4/5.

Standouts for me were "Wild Horses" and "Moonlight Mile".

My 100th album and at least it’s a good one.

I thought I'd dislike this but was pleasantly surprised. Less produced and rougher arond the edges makes me feel more connected to the music. And feels authentic. 4/5.

The closing track made this dirty-sounding album go one star higher in rating.

Probably the best stones album Wild Horses is amazing! And with the rest of it I really like the rocky edge 5/5 for now it might drop but who knows

I am a fan of the Stones' Mick Taylor era, and this has a lot of his influence in it.

It was a decent album. Not sure why it's held in such high regard, but I wouldn't consider it bad. The only track I recognized was Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

Confession - I've never liked the Rolling Stones. I don't like Jagger's over affected vocals or their "swagger" affectation. They are by far the lowest of the British invasion bands in my eyes. Anyway - for this album, Sweet Sugar is truly one of the most offensive songs ever written and performed and I'm shocked they never pulled it from circulation with an apology. Seriously, read the lyrics sheet and try to redeem or apologize for it. Can't be done. Sway is meh. But then, Wild Horses followed by Can't You Hear Me Knocking are freakin' amazin', and wrapping up the side with a well done blues cover, although hearing a real delta blues performer rather than some English punters would be better. I'll credit that if this introduced a new audience to explore this genre then perhaps some good came of this work. Moving on to side 2, a bit of neutral tracks of varying styles. Dead Flowers centers around a horrible fake southern drawl by Richards. If you want great American delta blues and country, why are you buying an album from a British hack band? Should be a 1, but for Can't You Hear Me Knockin' lifting it up to the 2 despite itself.

I'm refusing to listen to any more rolling stones

Decent when it cuts straight to the point and lets loose, but it's somewhat dull across appreciable portions and a bit gratuitous on occasion. It felt way longer than 46 minutes. Two stars seems slightly harsh, but I'm not overly convinced it deserves three either.

tbh. Expected better from THE Rolling Stones. Favorite: You gotta move

Sexy as hell!! But not a 5 on this listen for me

Wild Horses is my favorite Rolling Stones song. But there's too much filler for my taste.

Got many great classic Stones songs on here

Classic love

Fantastic album with some of their very best songs ("Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is a personal favorite). The fusion of honky tonk rock, blues, country, even gospel is in full effect here which would culminate on the next album, "Exile on Main Street." Questionable lyrics on "Brown Sugar" aside, its some of the songs I knew less thar really stood out--"Sister Morphine" and "Moonlight Mile" especially. This was the peak of the Stones swagger and brilliance and is an easy 5 star album.

This one ticks all the boxes for me for what I want from the Stones. Ive heard detractors call these guys a British blues pub band, which would put them on the same level as like, Clapton and Rod Stewart. Jagger and the band deserve a lot more respect than that, those other guys could not have written something as lovely as Wild Horses. Two other country gems on here are Moonlight Mile and Dead Flowers, then you've got the burn-the-house-down blues rock of Brown Sugar (problematic but so fuckin good), and Bitch is the most danceable thing they ever did. But no song on here isnt great - Its just a terrific classic rock record, one of the best you'll ever hear

it was ok, never been a bog stones fan.

Hard to top this. I am not going to review it, 'cos no-one needs another review of 'Sticky Fingers'. 5/5

Цікаво, що Роллінги зі своїм доробком дуже крутих пісень, не змогли записати реально видатного альбому. Цей мабуть одна з найкращих спроб, проте все одно 5 йому не можу поставити. Wild Horses - чи не найкраща їх пісня

Один з 3-4 альбомів стоун, які я люблю. Браун шуга і вайлд хорсес - мега хіти, та і взагалі прикольно.

Despite the tumultuous period surrounding its creation, The Rolling Stones' "Sticky Fingers" is a surprisingly cohesive album. It's a true five-star effort, packed with great tunes, magnificent performances, and a brilliant production that showcases the band's stellar musicianship. Paired with its iconic album artwork, Sticky Fingers stands as a high point in the Stones' legendary run of essential albums, which stretched from Beggars Banquet through to Exile On Main St. Five stars. Side one 1 "Brown Sugar" (5/5) 2 "Sway" (5/5) 3 "Wild Horses" (5/5) 4 "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (5/5) 5 "You Gotta Move" (5/5) Side two 6 "Bitch" (5/5) 7 "I Got the Blues" (4/5) 8 "Sister Morphine" (4/5) 9 "Dead Flowers" (5/5) 10 "Moonlight Mile" (4/5) Total - 47 Average - 4.7 133/1001 68/133 albums reviewed were new to me.

One of my favourites by The Stones. If it wasn't for "you gotta move" this would be 5 stars for me

Man, Brown Sugar sure is one of the songs ever. I felt emotions when listening to it, none of which I liked. That has to be the single worst song the Stones ever put out. The rest of the album is great, so it's fine. I think they're the only British band that can consistently do Blues Rock well to any capacity. Side note, the guy on this album cover is the same guy on The Smiths' self-titled record. Massive peenus on that guy, that's impressive stuff. Anyways I'm tired and getting all over the place, back to the music. I prefer Beggar's Banquet overall, but the standout tracks of this album stand out a lot more to me, like Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Really good solos all throughout, but the ones on that song are particularly good. You Gotta Move as a song makes this album for me, it's just so goofy. I don't know why they randomly decided to throw in a wind section in the second half of the album, but the only reason I'm complaining about it is because it isn't in the first half. I'm gonna cut myself off before I ramble my way into doubling the length of the longest review I've made to date.

What can you say about such a classic album that's not already been said. Really enjoyed taking the time to listen to this in one sitting.

It does not get any better than this ultimate Blues/Rock band. Amazing album plum full of amazing music.

no oneeee should have to listen to, all this shit

First Rolling Stones album, had no idea they wrote white horses. Needs a few more listens.

Overall, fine

Strong first half, mellow second

Know this one forwards and backwards. Masterpiece. The breakdown in Can't You Hear Me Knocking >>>>>>

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD HOOORSSEEES

One of my favorite Rolling Stones albums, just such a rocking vibe throughout. At times jazzy a bit bluesy while maintaining a good hard rock feel

This album always makes me think about my Mom. I remember pulling it out of the record shelf underneath our stereo and thinking that the zipper on the sleeve was awesome and her getting a little flustered because it was "inappropriate" for however old I was. Years later, there was another moment where it was made clear to me that all of the cool records in the small collection that we had were not my father's they were hers. It made me realize that of my two parents, and regardless of how much of a larger than life personality my dad insists on, she's the cool one. I hadn't really ever looked at her that way. It's bittersweet that the cool part of her had been packed away behind "wife and mother" for her kids. It's still 100% there - but I think she insists on putting up the facade because she feels that is what she is supposed to do. Because I can tell you, the girl that listens to the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers and I would be really great friends - but we're probably never going to meet.

Not as strong as some of their other albums but not bad. Not feeling the lyrics on most of these and not a fan of brown sugar.

Bonafide banger. Multiple classics. What’s more to say?

“Brown Sugar” really bothered me. Aside from that a perfect album.

Can’t not like this

Its the Stones so it Rocks and or Rolls

Couple of decent tracks, thought the cover was interesting and couldn't decided if it fit the album.

Over it

Super classic. So many dank tracks that aren't the famous singles.

Previously rated: The Rolling Stones (4/5) Beggars Banquet (5/5) Let it Bleed (5/5) Aftermath (4/5) ****************************** Not their best, but has some great tunes. Wild Horses, Brown Sugar, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, and Dead Flowers. Other tracks kind of slow the album down too much.

Opening track has 280mil streams, thought that would be a guarantee I'd like it but it was only ok. Wild Horses is the standout. This is my 2nd Rolling Stones album and I'm starting to think, and I could be talking brown here, but they've released over 20 albums and have written some of the greatest rock songs ever, I just have the feeling they are completely spread out over these albums and there isn't one album that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. They could easily have one of the greatest hits albums ever but I don't really get the hype with this album. 3/5.

Three Stones albums in a week's time? Okay, I'll say it again... can't go wrong with a Stones album! This may be my favorite of the three that have been generated this week!

This was a top 5 album for my brother so I heard it a lot. Always liked it. Now I love it. Dead Flowers alone is worth it.

Have to give it a 4 just for Bitch and Wild Horses

Not the biggest Stones guy, but I liked it. Always thought the real zipper on the cover was kind of neat. Must have heard Brown Sugar a thousand times before today, and while I always knew it wasn’t about sprucing up a bowl of oatmeal, I never realized, exactly just what kind of fucking was going down in that song 😧 3.5⭐️

Nice album, i did not know it yet but nice wide range of styles, and of course brown sugar rocks.4.6 stars

fun

Top track: Brown Sugar / Wild Horses

Good classic rock, 7.75/10 Best track: Wild horses (8.5/10) Worst track: Cant you hear me knocking (7/10)

Brown sugar is a cracking way to kick off an album. Even though i’m not a Stones fan it hits all the right spots to be a great song. Before listening to this i would have probably said i liked, or at least didn’t dislike Wild Horses but it feels oddly placed in the running order. It therefore feels like a misstep. Not that the tracks either side are anything to write home about. My god Can’t you hear me knocking goes on. Overall the album is just middling with my main takeaway being i wuite like the guitar work

As a general rule, I think The Rolling Stones are incredibly overrated, and I was today old when I realised THAT’S what “Brown Sugar” is about. However, this album was fine - I’d not listen to it again, I still don’t see what all the fuss is about, but it was fine.

I have never been that fussed about Jagger's voice (something that has culminated this year in me taking the piss out of the way he sings the word strange in the Slow Horses theme, every time we watch an episode - "stwwwwaaaaange"). For the high points, I like Brown Sugar and I'm a fan of brass instruments, and there was much more of that than I expected. For the lows, as far as I'm concerned, jam sessions are only fun for the people playing them, so Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Bitch were absolutely not for me. It was fine. One for the "never gonna choose to listen to it, won't turn it off if it turns up on shuffle" collection. 3/5

Great stuff.

this is to me the definitive Stones album. As good as they ever were. some hidden gems and some classics that are imprinted in my brain for ever. 5.0

Great album! Mick is at the forefront but Keith and his guitar is the star!

Recognize all the hits on this one. Cant you Hear me Knocking is 7 minutes long!? Why? B-side of this album got boring. It's a fine Rolling Stones album, but are any of them completely good?

Great record - 4/5

Not really my vibe

One of the best 70's rock albums

Was wondering how long it would be until I got the stones. This is their second best album (after exile which came out a year later). Wild Horses is beautiful and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is one of my favourites but the whole album is gold in fairness.

Sure some bluesy sleeze rock, lots of fun. This album has the same issue as many others though that the best songs have been crushed by years of radio play.

A classic!

I'd always felt the Stones were less bluesy than advertised, but I think that's just the hits. This is a lazy Sunday blues rock I can get behind.

Maybe it's just by comparison but today I heard the new Taylor Swift album so this is DEFINITELEY a five for the Stones

Pretty good this…

Can’t believe a clothes brand made such a good album

Not a great album

¿El ¿mejor? álbum de la ¿mejor? banda de la historia?

"Brown Sugar" is gross. "Wild Horses" is incredible. "You Gotta Move" sounds a lot like Beck's "Fourteen Rivers Fourteen Floods" (obviously, they were both taking from the same blues tradition, but I'm probably weird for knowing the Beck song and not the Rolling Stones one). "Dead Flowers" - a song that mentions the mail that I'd never heard before!

Great atmosphere & much more enjoyable than other Stones albums I’ve listened to. The saxophone RULES. More like 3.5/3.75 just because it’s not really my type of music but 4 stars made more sense than 3

Stones at their best. Raw and real. Every song is a banger.

If the entire album carried the energy of the first half it would be an easy 4 or 5. The run of the first four songs is just incredible and some of the best music ever written. But it loses a lot of its energy in its second half. It's not bad by any means but just sounds like... anything else the Rolling Stones did in the late '60s and early '70s in its second half. But the first four songs, chef's kiss

Prøvde å like klissete fingre, men flere av låtene var litt tamme for min del. Flere gode og! Overrasket av saksofonen. Ikke fått med meg den før, men den fungerte fint.

JoJo reference. Decent tho but not that exciting for me.

Twangy sound

Qualify this by saying I kinda hate The Rolling Stones. But this is the definitive Stones album

Yet another Rolling Stones album from the generator. Probably my favourite from them so far but I still don't Get them. Maybe one day at 40 I will wake up as a Rolling Stones fan, who knows. But for now I still don't get them 3/5

Really enjoyed, haven’t listened to much Rolling Stones.

Album art is hot but ngl music kinda bored me

Remember wild horses back from 2018/19. A friend must've shown me. Rest is okay

While I truly love and appreciate their earliest Blues inspired tunes, this is the record where they really came into their own and bridged over from those old Blues tunes, still retaining ones like You Gotta Move, to a new sound for them.

Very good

After listening to this album in its entirety, this might be my fav Stones album. No skips. 5/5

I’ve only listened to maybe 3-4 Rolling Stones albums in full so far, but this was the first I really enjoyed all the way through. Solid songs throughout, and a really great listen. I’ll have to continue listening to their other albums and revisit the ones I already listened to.

Classic Stones again. Enjoyed this. No proper standouts but just a good solid album from start to finish.

Not a fan of the Rolling stones at all. Can't stand Jagger's voice. But there were a few decent songs on this

Sticky Fingers is a fun album, very cool grandpa esc style here

A significant step up from the other 2 Stones albums we have done but also still not worthy of the hype imo.

Second Stones album in just a few days and I'm sticking to what I said about Beggars Banquet: the Stones feel like a singles band to me, not an album band. So much mediocre, forgettable filler. But Wild Horses is incredible.

It was great. No beatles but solid

Didn’t like this as much as Let It Bleed, but still enjoyable! Wild horses and brown sugar are the highlights, great blues rock all around. 3.5 rounded down

This has been a hard one to rate. There's stuff on here that I never would feel the need to put on (Sway, You Gotta Move, Sister Morphine). There's stuff on here that's totally new to me that's perfectly enjoyable (Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile). There's a couple classic tracks on here that are absolutely fantastic (Brown Sugar, Wild Horses). Is that a 3? That feels low. Is it a 4? That feels high. I have the hardest time rating albums that I am waffling on - especially when they are iconic bands like, you know, that pesky little startup called the Rolling Stones. I think there's enough good stuff on here to get it to a 4, even though I'm not likely to reach for this to put on.

Only just listenable. The Stones don't do a lot for me.

Some legit classics and juicy deep tracks on this one

4.5

This was solid. Wild Horses only one I really love though. Moonlight Mile’s my favorite of ones I’d never heard. More 3.5 than 3

An album with Brown Sugar and Wild Horses on it had to rate highly. I do find some Stones albums meander a bit, but their is some real quality on this album. 4/5

Cool!

enjoyed it

# 572 : Sticky Fingers Sticky Fingers - A few hits, a few fillers, and a whole lot of middle-of-the-road swagger. Finally, a classic from the list… and it’s fine. Sticky Fingers is a well-crafted, dynamic-sounding album, but let’s not pretend it’s flawless. For every iconic moment, there’s a track that feels like it wandered in from a rehearsal session. It’s The Rolling Stones doing what they do best—just not always at their best. It ranked #104 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which feels about right: respected, but not revered. The hits do hit—especially Wild Horses, which earns its place in rock ballad history. And Bitch deserves an honourable mention for injecting some much-needed energy and bringing the swagger into the mix. Still, the filler is real. This is the kind of album that gets praised because it’s supposed to be praised. It’s got the legacy, the zippered cover, and the name recognition—but not every song earns its place. Best Track (if you must): Wild Horses – the signature ballad that actually lives up to the hype. Verdict: A classic, sure—but not that classic. A few hits, a few fillers, and a whole lot of middle-of-the-road swagger. Closing thought: If this is the gold standard, I’ll take silver with fewer skips.

"Yeah, "The Beatles and The Stones, made it good to be alone" - that line stuck with me, when The House of Love recorded this song in the early nineties. Having grown up with both bands, due to my father's record collection, I never understood the controversy about being a Stones or a Beatles fan, a fact I learned from my dad. I guess it was before my time. Either way, although they're not my favorite Stones albums - those are unmistakably "Beggars Banquet" and the follow-up to this album, "Exile on Main St." - this record is undeniably a classic. Drenched in bluesy, swampy, and drug-related songs, culminating in "Sister Morphine", possibly the most horrifying overdose tale ever recorded, this album also shows the craft of particularly Keith Richards, and the then-new guitarist Mick Taylor, especially on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Wild Horses". The addition of studio musicians such as Bobby Keys, Billy Preston, and Ry Cooder, makes this album complete in its sound. What can I say, a 5/5 for this masterpiece!

I’m not a big Rolling Stones fan but this album was enjoyable enough. The production was good and some interesting elements I wasn’t expecting like the horns on several tracks. I get the appeal but it’s not my thing.

Instrumentals are easy 5/5 Guitar solo in Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is a 6/5 That said, some lyrics and messaging are questionable and outdated for example: -a portrait of slave owners raping slaves is an appropriate analogy for my attraction to black women -if you love someone enough, there mental illness will go away -sexism is cool

Such a good Rolling Stones album. My favourite one is Some Girls, and this is second. Or third after Tattoo You

Beggars to Exile run by them is GOAT stuff. Been a while since sitting with Sticky Fingers, forgot just how perfect the whole thing flows as an album

Probably what most think of as the Rolling stones album; controversy can't imagine how even back in early 70s brown sugars lyrics weren't well, whatever the hell they are. That sloppy dirty sound, though at it's most actual polished and accessible on here, Mick Taylor obviously being the best guitarist the Stones had, making for a stronger more coherent sound. Prime example of a classic rock album where it isn’t said as a slur, 5 Stars.

Particularly enjoyed Sway on this occasion

Good. First time listening to it all the way through and it's an album I would add to my collection.

very Rolling Stones. i did not dislike it as much as i have other Rolling Stones albums on this list, but that's not saying all that much. 2.5

the hits are the hits and the rest of it is bad cosplay

1.5

Hmm. I thought that "Brown Sugar" might be another one of those cases where people freaked out over music in the 70's and then it's just because the musicians have eyeliner on but that's really something. Mostly I spent this album hoping "Honky Tonk Women" would come on and I listened to it twice afterward, although I also really like "Wild Horses". I did really enjoy the, I think, Rolling Stone or Vanity Fair article I found about the creation of this artwork and how the original covers had real zippers on them!

The Rolling Stones is another band that gives me the same feelings I have about ones like The Grateful Dead. I've always heard about how incredible their whole body of work the Stones is. I have no doubts it was revolutionary at the time of release, I just still have yet to listen to any album by them that gives me more than a momentary pause of "I'll never pick to listen to that song again, but it was pretty decent".

This is much brighter and more fun than I was expecting (based on very little knowledge). I’m enjoying the long solos and shifts throughout a track.

Não sou chegado nos Stones, mas este disco me surpreendeu… e muito. Álbum verdadeiramente fantástico. Primeiramente, acho excepcional o pacing do disco, ele não perde tempo, e nada aqui é descartável ou esquecível. Fora isso, eu enxergo este disco como Rock Clássico em seu pico. Todos os instrumentos são tocados de maneira magistral, mas o que me impressiona mais do que tudo é a seção rítmica, com a percussão e o baixo comandando essas canções e esses arranjos de blues. Fora isso, você têm também a fantástica fusão entre as guitarras de lead e de ritmo, que se casam de maneira espetacular, e soam como um orgasmo aos ouvidos. Coloca os vocais destrinchados e arrítmicos de Jagger por cima e você tem uma receita explosiva, hipnótica e abundantemente satisfatória. Um LP monumental, e olha que nem sou fã do grupo. 5/5

An album that's so good it's like a greatest hits. Sleazy, bluesy, jazzy, druggy and an absolute blast from beginning to end. There's a reason it's often said it's their greatest album. Best Tracks: Brown Sugar; Wild Horses; Can't You Hear Me Knocking

Bit bluesy for me

penis music

Solid

I really, really hate their music.

Bluesy. Rocky. Pretty decent

Not a big Stones fan. I like something from them, but general consensus is that they're the hottest band in the world, which I don't agree with. Yet, this one is from the albums that I like from them. Mick Taylor is my favourite member of the Stones, his playing just adds so much soul to their music

(4) it got to that one tiktok song and i was like OH SO THIS IS WHERE IT’S FROM and then the bit that sounds like a chorus line came up and i was like OHHHHHHHHHHH

a classic! makes you feel like a bad ass. wild horses obviously sticks out but I did notice a few others on this new listen.

A great album that looms large in my listening history. This was a major change in the Stones musical direction and it took a bit of getting used to for me. Pared down to two guitars, bass and drums (mostly) this is a rawer version of the band. Mick Taylor was a perfect foil for Keith. Too bad they weren’t able to keep Mick around. He didn’t fit the bad boy image of the Stones but he was, in my opinion, the best guitarist they ever had. Moonlight Mile sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it.

Wild horses slaps. Otherwise fairly fine blues-driven rock, which has a fairly predictable formula. Likely very influential. Sister Morphine has got some legs. But to be clear. This is an epitome of the rolling stone aesthetic, dripping with their style, and certainly raw musicality. I wouldn't pick it up to listen to, but I cannot dispute its importance.

Isto é muito, muito bom: consistente e cheio de boa música!!!

This might be my favorite of the Stones albums we've had so far, but it's still a high three rather than a four. It seems to me the Stones aren't really an album band; there's always one or two great songs on each album, but also quite a lot of less outstanding work. Best consumed as a greatest hits package.

A classic rock album by The Stones with some favourite tunes.

5 stars

Exile in Main Street yesterday, sticky fingers today. What is it with the stones and songs about "brown sugar"? Exile had "sweet black angel" too. Bunch of old weirdos. Still the music is pretty decent. Idk. The stones are fine. Definitely influential but also pretty dated. And not just because of Jagger's wrinkles. Anyway. Brown Sugar is a song everyone knows. Can't you Hear me Knocking is 7 minutes of fire.

Started of really strong with Brown Sugar and Sway (particularly the guitar at the end of the track), but then it kind of fell off for the next bit. I Got The Blues, Dead Flowers(!), and Moonlight Mile were my other favourites, but the other songs were very forgettable. For this album I really liked exactly half of the songs and didn't rock with the other half as much, and for that reason I am going with a middle of the road 3

An album I rarely think to turn on, and fully delight in it every time. The versatility, the bluesy undertones, Mick's voice at it's very best... What's not to love?

One of the best rock n roll albums ever. This would be better than most bands greatest hits record. Stones in their bag with some rockers but also chiller songs like Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile.

I don’t have a deep connection to the Stones. Whenever I listen to one of their albums, though, I find the A-side singles (Brown Sugar, Wild Horses) are much less enjoyable than the B-side rockers (Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch) and end-of-album oddballs (Moonlight Mile, Sister Morphine).

Always enjoyed this album. Not my all time favorite by The Stones or classic rock but a good one

It’s a classic! Muscle Shoals represent. This album is so fun. It’s hard to not get lost in the iconic-ness of this but it’s just really fun.

I never really got into the Stones, except for a few songs, and none of those are on this album...

I don't know, doesn't really do it for me. Don't hate it, just found it to be alright. None of my favorite Stones tracks are on it either. All I could think about was eating at Bill Wyman's mediocre restaurant of the same name which I guess is now closed. I should get some BBQ soon. Puilled pork sandwiches are my favorite food tbh.

6.5 Solid album. A couple of weak tracks weigh it down. Highlights: Wild Horses Sister Morphine Moonlight Mile Brown Sugar B

My favorite Stones album. This album represents everything about the band perfectly. Sex, drugs, bravado, vulnerability, stepping to the boundary, then crossing it. All timers and some great deep cuts. This is the Stones. 🤌🏼

Certifiable classic. The Stones are full stride here, with the signature blues riffs, innuendo, and solid arrangements. Throw in a ballad or two, sprinkle in some saxy songs, and boom, baby goes to sleep now.

The lyrics for Brown Sugar are a little, er.... interesting with the passage of time. Some great bluesy stuff on here though.

Favorite tracks: Wild Horses, I Got The Blues

It didn't really have songs that I knew.

Let's face it, The Rolling Stones were on a trajectory that would establish them as probably the biggest live act on the planet for the next 50 years as they entered the 70s. The quality of their studio output, meanwhile, has followed a path which is, more or less, conversely proportional to their enduring success. As a general trend, of course. There are a few anomalies along the way, and Exile On Main Street was yet to come - but as the 60s drew to a close, the Stones jettisoned the experimentation and went with a tried-and-tested blues rock formula that has served them well through the rest of their career. Sticky Fingers contains a couple of great tracks, but it's got some fairly turgid filler on there too which stands up purely on the talent of enthusiasm of the band performing it. For many this is "classic" Stones, but for me they were kind of starting to churn them out at this point, it's all just a bit too formulaic.

Such a good opener and looking forward to immerse myself in a slightly more appealing stones album… …such great blues rock, groove and soul with killer guitar licks. Such a string of classics and great songwriting. Just a good album as a whole. Good variety, skill and a whole package. First half maybe better than second but a solid 4

Classic stones , yet a bit monotonous

at least two crushing lows that somehow punch their way to the top of the highly contested Most Racist Rolling Stones Moment (i gotta move somehow being their most insulting half-assed Black Musician Pastiche, and brown sugar being skipped by me after about 20 seconds because ive already spend too much of my life listening to that all-time-terrible shit), but i always find something to complain about even on rolling stones songs that are far less morally objectionable. for a certified stones hater like me, this definitely doesnt have the worst hit rate, in fact, the songs i love outnumber the songs i hate by one. bitch is an all-timer fun and bouncy stones rocker that assures me that im not Always too prudish for this band, moonlight mile is a surprisingly azzycore bombastic closer, and sister morphine is a pitch-dark vivid and powerful track that almost sounds like the velvet underground, featuring probably the only mick jagger vocal i unambiguously love. and while i dont dislike the first half of cant you hear me knocking, the second half's lengthy instrumental break is the clear star of the show, maybe even the whole album...maybe second only to merry clayton's solo spot on gimmie shelter as my favorite rolling stones moment. i suppose the records weakness and strength is that i feel most inclined to talk about it as a collection of songs and not an Album...im not sure it ever fully coalesces into anything more than the sum of its parts. but its parts are varied and surprising...all the way up thru the end, ur always capable of being hit by an actually creative idea. not my fave stones record (like that means anything coming from me anyway lol) but i can mostly see the appeal for ppl who dont want to strangle mick jagger whenever they hear him. and who dont know the lyrics to brown sugar ig.

Should revisit

The Rolling Stones have a particular style that i seem to enjoy, and this album filled with Blues and amazing solos fills a lot of those boxes. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love this album. Probably one of if not my favorite Stones album. Very chill and consistent. Great ride.

Not as familiar with this album as Let It Bleed or others by the Stones, but I do know a good number of songs. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and Bitch were the high points for me. Wild Horses in particular is a greatly written song that probably doesn't get enough recognition as one of their great songs. I don't know if I liked this as much as Let It Bleed or some of their other albums, but I can see it growing on me with more time to listen to it. I think it lands as a Solid 4 for me.

Although the first few albums from The Stones had me believing them incapable of making good albums, these last two have restored all faith. I give a slight nudge to Let It Bleed for overall quality, but this is a fantastic album in its own right. This one feels particularly loose and (for lack of a better description) Americana inspired with a lot more country twang and blues scattered throughout. Highest points for me are Sister Morphine (a drawn out rootsy jam), Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and Sway (fantastic guitar work). The rest at solid through and through in their own rights. Brown Sugar is by no means my favorite Stones song, but that riff is nothing if not iconic. And truth be told it is a loose and fun sounding song; especially when the horns come ripping in through the back half. And Wild Horses reigns things in a bit for one of the better ballads Rolling Stones ever wrote. Really its a different sound than anything else I can think of from them. In my view this is a solid to high 4.

Exactly what I expect out of the Stones.

That was by far the best Stones album to come up so far. So many songs that I have never heard that were pretty great. Plus the addition of Can't You Hear Me Knocking which is an all time song. Loved every minute of this album.

Hot out of the gate with Brown Sugar. This album has a bunch of jams I know before this listen. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and Bitch are all incredible 5/5 songs for me. Let's see if the rest of the album can keep up, which I think is a problem I've had with the Stones albums we've had. End of Sister Morphine is great. This was a great album but still doesn't have the umph to bump it to a 5 for me.

Starts with a huge banger, doesn't really reach that level after that. Still very good, though.

I would put this on on a sunny afternoon as background music. The quicker-tempo songs are fun to bop along to. I liked the horns on birch and can’t you hear me knocking. The lyrics didn’t really stick out to me, but at the same time I thought it was maybe a good album to sing along to…

This classic ain't for me

Wild Horses is probably my favourite Stones song, but I found this whole thing to be pretty great. Shoutout to Moonlight Mile (which I didn't realize was on this album).

Didn’t quite finish this, but there are definitely better songs than I thought.

for me, the rolling stones is the "best" (most critically-acclaimed) band, that still falls firmly into the "mid" category for me. So mid. 6/10

I've never been a big Rolling Stones listener. Not that I don't like it, and certainly not that I don't recognize how great these guys are... it's just that I've always preferred listening to something else. But when Sticky Fingers came to me this morning, I thought, "Damn, they've always been a part of my listening routine"... forever! Ever since I discovered rock 'n' roll at 10 years old, and Satisfaction was a constant presence on my playlists, throughout my life, The Rolling Stones has been a band I've listened to at some point. Especially Sticky Fingers, which is my favorite. I was a kid growing up in the download era, and to this day I still have my copy of this album in 320 kbps, in case there's a power outage at home and I need to listen to something offline. 5 stars, obviously.

Relisten for me, as I know this album well. Widely considered the pinnacle achievement by the world's greatest rock and roll band, "Sticky Fingers" has a reputation that sort of precedes it, almost as if its universal acclaim goes without saying. But while it is obviously a classic, I would rank it at the bottom of the "perfect Golden Age Stones albums" pile behind the likes of "Exile on Main Street", "Let it Bleed" and "Beggars Banquet." I guess I'm in the minority of hipsters who believe that the band really lost something after the death of Brian Jones, and that this album feels like it's missing a lot of ornate instrumentation and psychedelic ideas that made their late 60s albums so legendary for me. It's still good, and the engine that makes the band the untouchable powerhouse of chemistry that it is is still very much here in the form of Jagger and Richards' songwriting and the Mick Taylor lineup's raunchy, bluesy chemistry. But a lot of the songs here just feel like overblown filler compared to their best work, including "Sway", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (listening to the Kinks' "Australia" from Arthur really ruined this song and its jazzy jam coda for me), "Bitch" and "Sister Morphine". I even think "I Got the Blues" is a little bare, and feels like it's missing some of that 60s special sauce in the production and instrumentation. This all being said, there are enough bangers here to make this a great experience: "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" are just vintage Stones at their best, up there with anything they did in the 60s, and "Dead Flowers" and "Moonlight Mile" are an incredible closing couplet. "You Gotta Move" is also the band at their most authentic, blues-loving selves. But the Stones, while being incredibly innovative in their own right, could also be trend-chasers, and from the Warhol artwork to the bloated, rockist textures that upstage the songwriting, they feel like they're starting to chase their own trend here. Hey, just my opinion. 3/5

It's alright, but I forgot it was on

9/10 Favorites: Brown Sugar Wild Horses I Got The Blues

Greatest jukebox album ever made.

Excelent

idrk

Great album I listened to many times as a teen. I have it on vinyl with the working zipper album cover. Awesome to listen to through headphones. Lyrics to Brown Sugar are terrible but the music rocks. Love the blues numbers and the country twang in Dead Flowers. A classic!

definitely dad rock. still good though.

This is a little more like it. After a few up and down albums from the Stones in this list, it's good to return to something consistent. You know you're in the right spot when you see the famous Warhol photo of the jeans at least. This is the dirty, blues rock that the Stones are known for. Complete with clean guitar licks & riffs, drums that fill the room (or your ears), and some tenor sax. Minimal wavering here, pretty much the whole album is consistently high-quality. Classics include: "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses", and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (Which was surprisingly recorded in one take! This track is 7 minutes, mind you)

Third album in a run of greatness that may never be matched. The world's greatest rock and roll band delivers one of the great rock albums.

perfect

10/10 wild horses always a banger, I like the bluesy desert sounding guitar in you gotta move. I feel like a cowdoy.

The beginning is 5/5. Unfortunately some songs at the end are so-so. I skipped "You gotta move".

The beginning was way too good. After Brown Sugar and Wild Horses the rest felt mediocre and kind of boring.

Chill nostálgico, buenos solos

slow start, "can't you hear me knocking" gives a little bob d ylan vibes with sick electric guitar and saxophone, "bitch" is also a groovy song, overall not super impressed

Banger

Kind of THE classic Stones record. Great songs, stripped down performances, lots of attitude. Fantastic record.

Sticky Fingers is probably my second favourite Stones album, their first full album with Mick Taylor. Often described as the greatest rock and roll band in the world, not something I subscribe to, but the run of albums from Beggars Banquet through Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers to Exile On Main St would be good evidence for someone who wanted to make that argument. On this album I would contend that “Wild Horses” and “Dead Flowers” are persuasive that the Stones may have been one of the best country bands of all time… Sticky Fingers also contains two of the best rock riffs in “Brown Sugar”, lyrically problematic though it may now be, and the horn driven “Bitch”. “I Got the Blues” is an excellent southern soul song that you could imagine Otis Redding singing; “You Gotta Move” a wonderful cover of Mississippi Fred McDowell, with Dobro and slide guitar from Richards and Taylor and with an amazing organ solo from Billy Preston. “Sway” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” are superb hard rock songs with stunning lead guitar from Taylor. “Sister Morphine” builds in intensity as it describes a dying man’s hallucinatory last journey accompanied by the titular drug (and Ry Cooder’s haunting slide guitar). The record ends with the dreamy “Moonlight Mile” a gentle meandering lullaby with a wonderful string arrangement. The addition of Mick Taylor transformed the Rolling Stones, perhaps not making them the ‘best’ but certainly making them an album orientated rock band to rival The Who and Led Zeppelin as they entered the 1970s.

A bit slower of a Rolling Stones album, but several classic songs that define their sound.

It was okay - not my cup of tea but I see why people enjoy it

Some good songs on here but also a few that feel lackluster, leads to a up and down album experience.

goood, pero beatles > rolling 4/5

Grooooovy guitar solos. Can't you hear me knocking is fantastic. Still a bit harder than I am used to and the lyrics aren't that memorable/emphasized. Hard 70s rock man.

Almost quit this project, but then this album came up. Lovely guitar riffs, lots of emotion in the lead vocalist, simply a great album. Starts with the groovy 'Black Sugar'.

Not exactly bad, sometimes really good, and usually its decent but I honestly can't understand The Stones' extreme hype. People seriously think they're better than The Beatles? In what world? It's just some blues music. The guitar work on this on is particularly good

Better than Coldplay

a masterpiece. moonlight mile, wild horses, can’t you hear me knocking…amazing

SPECTACULAR

It's a great record, they're an excellent rock band, and in this record they're elevated by Bobby Keys' outstanding sax work. The record feels cohesive but still has a diverse sound palette. It might be a bit rough at some points, but that contributes to the style they were going for. Jagger's singing is unique and very distinctive of their sound. The guitars here are also excellent, they drive the songs a lot. As I said, my favourite aspect of the album is how the sax is incorporated, giving it some jazzy notes, extending some of the songs into improvisation that makes them great. There were many great songs, but my favourites were the classic "Wild Horses", which is a more toned down and emotional track, I also loved "Dead Flowers" and "Brown Sugar". Between "Bitch" and "I Got The Blues" was my least favourite part of the album.

Found this a bit dull. Stones albums usually have one stand out track but nothing i remember

Top 3 Stones album. No notes. Makes 50 years seem like nothing.

The hits hold up great (Brown Sugar, Wild Horses), and this ends incredibly well (Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile). In the middle is good but not great. Would be a 4.5, but I'm going to stick to my round down policy.

Not my thing

meh

Haven’t been a huge fan historically.. with this record, I’d say it mostly lands with me. A few really strong songs. “You Gotta Move” sucks though.

Fav tracks: "Cant You Hear Me Knocking" and "Bitch"

Probably my fave stones album. Not a bad song and an above average number of outstanding tracks

Brilliant stones. Probably my most listened to and favorite out of any of theirs I'd say.

Needs speakers due to the hard panning but great mix of rock blues and county with some great guitar riffs.

One the classic three album run

I don’t really get the Stones. This was alright but nothing overly special and that’s always how I feel if I listen to them. Just doesn’t click with me

So many more hits on this one.

I can’t exactly explain why - I don’t have a major reason why - I have always had a major aversion to this band. So I approached this thinking it would be a 1 or 2 out of hand. In the end it did not knock my socks off but it didn’t offend either. Still sort of meh. Maybe in the future I’ll come back and find it better. 3/5

A classic for a reason. I’ve never loved the stones like I love the Beatles but this is the first time I’ve sat with this album and it’s no surprise it’s so well regarded. Really great production, great songs, just great.

I have listened to Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Bitch before and enjoyed hearing them again. Bitch is a definite highlight. The energy is electric. Wild Horses is well written and brings a balance to the album. This album has a great bluesy rock vibe with some standout guitar riffs. I am not sure if I would classify this album in the "timeless classic" zone, but I still enjoyed it.

Don't know if if I've heard a Stones album front to back before. I appreciate how much they jam on a few of these songs. It really shows how talented they were back in the day.

I liked some songs more than others.

3.6

1971 Despite being a Stones fan, I've somehow missed hearing this album in full before now. There's some familiarity with a few tracks, that remain classics, and there's also hints of what they were to become, which is less to my liking. The 'authentic' Americana blues and country elements leave me unenthused to make a return. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ Average ★★★☆☆ (5/10)

I really don't like the rolling stones, every song sounds the same to me. Not unlistenable, just really boring. Best songs here are Sway and Moonlight Mile.
