Moonlight Mile is a basically a lot of meandering melodies but there isn't really anything definite there..it sounds a bit laboured and contrived to me. I tend to skip this track.
Sister Morphine could have been a better tune if it had more of a full band sound, it's the minimalistic sound that I don't like. Minimalism is ok for some tunes but I feel this one deserved more instrumentation. I tend to skip this track also.
But there's enough good stuff on SF (and EOMS) to keep me happy
what?...;-)i get dizzy trying to follow that logic....Quote

Sticky Fingers greatest rock'n'roll album ever made
Exile On Main Street greatest Rolling Stones record.

ok guitarbastard, sorry for the dizziness, I think I'm trying to say EOMS is so much more than rock'n'roll.

Sticky Fingers is tighter and nastier. It's got a much better opening track ("Brown Sugar"), and their most famous ballad ("Wild Horses"). But there is so much more music on Exile - and back in 1971, more meant better.

Sticky, and no way did Bitch deserve to be a B-side single. Keef and MT at the pinnacle of RNR!!!

As much as I like "Bitch", I could counter that 'no way did "Rocks Off" deserve not to be a single AT ALL!
I wonder if it would have impacted sales in any way, had Rocks Off been released as the lead single, before Tumbling Dice?
I would be interested...as much as I like Brown Sugar, I find it almost unlistenable because it has been so over-played. I never feel that way about Rocks Off though...even though I play it way more often!

What's incredible is how DIFFERENT Exile and Sticky are, and yet they're both freakin' fabulous. That evolution starting in 1968 and continuing through say 1983 is what makes the Stones so great.
