The Rolling Stones second best album IMO behind Exile.

It has some good songs on it, but it never amused me as a whole album.

I absolutely love "Sympathy For the Devil". I'm not that intimately familiar with the other songs, except "Dear Doctor", but I've heard the albums many times, and I can't say I like it that much.

This is definitely a very good album but to me it pails in comparison to the 3 that came just after it.

But yeah, some really smoking blues delta sounds in here. sympathy is cool.

For me it goes
1. Sticky Fingers - 9.8

2. Tie-Exile and Let it bleed - 9.4

4. Beggars Banquet - 8.7

The start of their golden period of 4 great back to back albums, in which I'd put this 3rd behind Exile and Sticky Fingers.

Everyones heard Sympathy for the Devil and Street Fighting Man but the high points on this in my opinion are Stray Cat Blues and No Expectations. The only weak track on this is Dear Doctor which I just skip.

Really? Dear Doctor is one of my favorites on this album. My least favorite would probably be Salt Of The Earth.

I just can't get into that song, I think its that Jaggers voice just annoys me on it.
