My favorite Stones album has been Exile On Main Street for a while. After listening to this one, I'm not so sure. That one is a great collection with every song being good, and with it's length, I still have to give Exile the slight edge. That being said, this is right up there with that album. The only difference is that this one has some of the Stone's best songs ever, including some that are ignored on their greatest hits collections. Sure this one has great standards like Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, but 2 songs that are usually ignored on best ofs are Can't You Hear Me Knocking and the underrated Bitch. Those two songs deserve the notoriety that goes with their best songs ever. Knocking is an excellent song through and through including a cool instrumental outro that'll drive you nuts for days because you can't get the cool riffs out of your head. Same with Bitch's main riff. Bitch just plain rocks. The rest of the album is pretty good. Sway, You Gotta Move, Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile, and I Got The Blues are all better than average songs, and Dead Flowers is a cool song that's crossed between Creedence and Bob Dylan. With little or no filler, Sticky Fingers has what it takes to be one of the best albums of all time. It has great songs and shows once again why Jagger and Richards are one of the best songwriting combos ever. I slightly prefer Exile over this one, if for nothing else, it's album length. But how can you argue with any of their tunes on this one? Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, and Bitch are four of their best songs. So this one should definitely be in anyone's collection, whether you're a die hard or casual fan. Even if you have 40 Licks (by far their best Greatest Hits compilation), this one should be in your collection because of the omissions of Knocking and Bitch on that double album.Read full review
This is the Stones in their prime (yes, their prime was very long, but 1971 was great). The CD sounds great and provides the sound of the new, original pressing LP that you would pay an arm and a leg for it you could find it today (and then it would be too valuable to put a stylus on it!) PS - If you're expecting a zipper on those jeans, you're SOL. But would you really want such a gimmick on a little CD in a plastic case?

A wonderful digital transfer of this definitive Stones album, losing none of its punch and warmth. Spiky and dynamic, it sounds "live" and rich.

Without a doubt the Stones best album IMO. It has some of the Stones best known classics like Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Bitch, Cantcha Hear me Knocking and Dead Flowers but what really makes it stand out is the lesser known gems like Moonlight Mile and I've Got the Blues. The only song I don't care for on this album is You gotta Move. Every other song is good to great. 9 out of 10 ain't bad!
Everybody has heard something off of this one, still stands the test of time, Sister Morphine is probably the slowest tune on there,,& rightfully so. I gotta listen to it again...
