Since I happen to be awake all to early: This is a no-contest. Sticky Fingers wins any day in my book. Let It Bleed is very good but sounds a bit to polished in comparison.

Let it bleed of course.
Gimme Shelter vs Brown Sugar - Shelter (Sugar is great of course but Shelter is their greatest song and one of the best ever by anyone)
Love In Vain vs Sway - Love In Vain (OK sway is not bad)
Country Honk vs Wild Horses - Honk (Horses is so very overrated it's not even funny, but yes it worked fine live in 1975)
Live With Me vs Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Live with me
Let It Bleed vs You Gotta Move - Let It Bleed (you gotta move live in 1975 and 1976 is fantastic though and beats Let it bleed live despite the masterful 1981 versions)
Midnight Rambler vs Bitch - Midnight Rambler
You Got The Silver vs I Got The Blues - You Got The Silver (I got the blues is not even close, in fact it is so bad it shouldn't be on any album).
Monkey Man vs Sister Morphine - Monkey Man (kidding right?)
You Can't Always Get... vs Moonlight Mile - You Can't Always Get (MM is great but YCAGWYW wins).
9/9.

You Can't Always Get What You Want vs. Moonlight Mile
Moonlight Mile is a very cliché song which is a bit more popular than it should be on this board. Also, MM doesn't work in concert at all, which YCAGWYW does.

I think you've given Sticky Fingers short shrift here...as good as Live With Me is, CYHMK is probably an all time top twenty stones track...LWM doesn't crack their top ten. To say Wild Horses is overrated is fine, that's your opinion, but to say Country Honk is therefore better, is just punishing Wild Horses for no good reason.
Play fair Redhotcarpet!

6 to 3?!?!
My heart is thumpin' louder than a big bass drum!
Don't think Bitch would ever trump Rambler though...as good as Brown Sugar is, how can it possibly be better than GS?
Just think about it in concert...

Who's the best slide player, Keith or Ry? Luckily, we don't have to answer that question.

In concert GS sucks since 1975.

what hasnt been factored in is that one song could thrash another while 2 songs could be tight and the winner only just gets it. so you cant really compare the 2 doing it this way. its a bit like tennis scoring. one player could win 3 sets 7-6 7-6 7-6 but lose 1 set 0-6, and have an overall win of 3 sets to 1, but having actually won the match with 21 games won and 24 lost.
also couldnt the songs be mixed and matched so as one song dosent always have to be compared with a particular rival.
my opinion is let it bleed is better than sticky fingers but not by much, theya re both great.

Gimme Shelter vs. Brown Sugar
Shelter is a tad overrated, Brown Sugar has the coolest riff in Stones history which settels this deal.
Love In Vain vs. Sway
Sway wins by a mile, even though I'm sure Robert Johnson would be proud over Stones absolute redemption of Love In Vain.
Country Honk vs. Wild Horses
Honky Tonk Women had at least been a comparison.
Live With Me vs. Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Bobby's saxophone solo easily slays Taylor's guitar solo.
Let It Bleed vs. You Got To Move
You Got To Move has never been anything other than a moaning bother.
Midnight Rambler vs. Bitch
What really decides this is the fact that Midnight Rambler always sounds good live in concert these days while Bitch most times falls flat since 2006. 3-3 so far!
You Got The Silver vs. I Got The Blues
Keith thinks IGTB is one of the 10 best Stones songs ever,
I'm may not agree with him but at least the Organ solo is the absolute highlight of Sticky Fingers.
Monkey Man vs. Sister Morphine
You Can't Always Get What You Want vs. Moonlight Mile
Moonlight Mile is a very cliché song which is a bit more popular than it should be on this board. Also, MM doesn't work in concert at all, which YCAGWYW does.
Final score:
Let It Bleed: 4p
Sticky Fingers: 5p
