Yes, Sticky Fingers is by far the best Rolling Stones album. I'm not the biggest Stones fan but that album is near perfect.

From what I've heard: Exile on Main St. > Aftermath > Between the Buttons > Let It Bleed > Sticky Fingers > Beggars Banquet > Goats Head Soup

I think it's their best. It has the best combination of the blues (Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile) and more normal rock songs (Brown Sugar, Can't You Here Me Knocking), with the incredible country song (Wild Horses). The drug references aren't very subtle and are numerous and this sometimes can get a bit tiring, but I've always enjoyed the song writing the most on Sticky Fingers than on any of their albums. I've also come to think that "Moonlight Mile" is the Stones best song. Its one of the bluesier songs and one of the rare times that Jagger really lets the guard down and its one of my favorite performances by him.

Lol, that's how I used to feel. I've recently come to enjoy Exile on Main St. a lot more, however.

Y'know, now that I think about it, I'd say the reason I like this album the most is because it's the only one without a single bad or mediocre song, in my opinion. It may not reach the great heights of, say, Rocks Off or Gimme Shelter, but Exile has a ton of filler (in my opinion) and Let It Bleed has some rather weak moments in Country Honk and You Can't Always Get What You Want (yeah, sorry, that song drives me crazy).

Not at all. I actually think it's their VERY best!

1. Some Girls
2. Sticky Fingers
3. Let It Bleed
4. Tattoo You
5. Exile on Main St.

Exile is their best, but Sticky Fingers is right up there with Beggars, Let it Bleed, Aftermath... and am I alone in thinking Some Girls is nearly their best?

Coming from someone who's not a huge Stones fan, I'd say Beggars Banquet is easily their best work. Sticky Fingers is certainly not a bad listen though.

I enjoy Let it Bleed the most, but I think Exile of Main St is technically their best. Sticky Fingers is fun but it doesn't reach the heights of either of them. All fantastic, I think they're ranked fairly.

I agree that Exile is great. I think I just tend to prefer more compact albums myself, haha.

If you have the patience I would say Exile On Main Street is the best. It's not really an album you can just put on whenever you like though (at least not if you want to enjoy it).

Then probably

Sticky Fingers
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Aftermath

Although those four are pretty interchangeable depending on the day.

It's a great album, no argument there, but for me, both Let it Bleed and Exile outrank it. Sorry.

Okay, so I've been listening to this album a lot lately, and I'm trying really hard to understand why there are TWO Stones albums ranked higher than it on our overall chart (particularly Let It Bleed).

So who else thinks this is the one that deserves to be recognized as their greatest achievement?
