    Created in the midst of an unbeatable run of albums that also included Exile on Main Street, the Rolling Stones were at the height of their powers on Sticky Fingers, whether they were taking on anthemic arena rock ("Brown Sugar") or crafting heartfelt ballads ("Wild Horses"). More than any other album, Sticky Fingers captured the Stones at their essence, riffing on sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll in a way that was welcoming and universal, and it always captured their interest in everything from soul to the blues in one surprisingly coherent package. Picking the best Rolling Stones album is like choosing between children, but it's hard to argue with anyone who champions this record.

    Pieced together from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers has a loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark undercurrents of the songs. Apart from the classic opener, "Brown Sugar," the long workout "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and the mean-spirited "Bitch," Sticky Fingers is a slow, bluesy affair, with a few country touches thrown in for good measure. The laid-back tone of the album gives ample room for new lead guitarist Mick Taylor to stretch out, but the key to the album isn't the instrumental interplay -- it's the soulfulness of the songs. With its offhand mixture of decadence, roots music, and outright malevolence, Sticky Fingers set the tone for the rest of the decade for the Stones.
