I have to respond to redhotcarpet's take on Sticky Fingers and go off topic as he or she did. To each his own but CYHMK a boring riff ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? One of the best riffs I've ever heard! Wild Horses is in my top ten.
It is far superior to B&B even though I love B&B!

I know it sounds stupid to claim that B&B was their biggest effort in the 70s but if you listen to the whole album, the production, the musicianship and the songs it's not a bad album at all. Too short but had they included Worried bout you, Slave, and maybe one real rocker ("Never stop"?) it would have been a classic.
And I gotta say, to me Sticky is not a great album, I never listen to it. Brown Sugar is a great song but I prefer the live versions of 1972 and the Altamont version. Or the birthday version. Sway is a great track but I've heard it and thats enough, it's just too much somehow. Wild horses is overrated and all too melodramatic. I hate it. There I said it.
Cant you hear me knocking is a stiff overrated rocker, the riff is just boring and it doesnt go anywhere.
You gotta move was a highlight in 1975/76 but the studio version is a joke, Mick does it tongue in cheek. Bitch is good, a solid track, but the production is lame. I got the blues is a pointless pastich. Sister Morphine too, doesnt go anywhere, I dont believe Mick when he sings it. Angie is much better. Dead flowers is a great country track but would have suited their best album ever; Let it Bleed. Moonlight Mile is very nice indeed and maybe the only "deep" song, a song where you feel the singer wants to express something.
Sorry but that's how I feel about Sticky, it's not a bad album, how could it be, but I prefer B&B. Yayas? Keith is great but it sounds a bit dated and I prefer the Jagger of 1972-1978. Exile is the ultimate album I guess but how often do you listen to it? B&B is not better than Exile but had it been a real LP with ten or twelve songs from that period and with that production it would have been a true classic. If you take Miss You from Some Girls you have a boring rock album with maybe two good songs.

Well if you are for freedom of speech then let me enjoy mine . actually Im not joking, I think Cant you hear me knocking is good but not one of the great ones. Keith has come up with much better riffs, the minimalistic Hot Stuff, the perfect IYCRM, the solid Dance little sister. Many fans consider Sticky to be the best album but I don't. It's not bad but I never listen to it. Could be that Keith was missing, sort of. Beggars, Let is bleed and Exile have Keith co-piloting with Mick.

Ronnie Wood's greatest contribution to the Rolling Stones. The way I heard it, Woods came up with the slide riffs.
I like how some of the words are in Spanish. And it tells a universal story (poor man seeks sexual gratification at a discount rate and is repelled by haughty streetwalker).
The outtake is better than the version on Black and Blue, IMHO.
