Taking Sides: Let It Bleed VS. Sticky Fingers

LIB by a nose. mostly bc Sister morphine is pretty much the worst song

Sticky Fingers is better. Everybody knows that. You're not really a Stones fan if you're picking Let it Bleed.

so stupid

much much MUCH prefer beggars banquet to sticky fingers

I love "You Got to Move," I think that's far and away the best blues song the Stones ever did

this is very otm.

if i'm getting together with someone live with me is the funniest song ever but if i'm breaking up with someone it's dead flowers

so i go back and forth

dead flowers is one of my favorite songs ever. almost pushes sticky fingers ahead of let it bleed... but doesn't

let is bleed is pretty damn spectacular. but my four favorite stones albums at various points in my life have been sticky, exile, beggars and between the buttons, and i'd still take any of them over let it bleed.

yeah absolutely re dead flowers xp. top ten ever. does sit pretty sloppy against sister morphine, i guess.

yeah, sister morphine is pretty lame. marianne faithfull wrote it i think, so it's not even a stones song so it's a shame it's on the album. (i like marianne faithfull generally though.) between the buttons, xpost, is super classic too i agree. the cover is my favorite stones cover because it perfectly captures what the blue glow before a sunrise feels like after you've been awake all night

You can't like the Stones and dislike "Dead Flowers." Jagger's approach is exactly what makes the Stones.

most underrated stones album = the debut

As always, I apply the "Which album would Michael Morley sample?" standard, so Sticky Fingers.

^^^OTM

I couldn't get into Let It Bleed for ages, apart from two or three songs - I kept trying because my two favourites are BB and SF and all three are cut from the same cloth really. 'Midnight Rambler' was the song that opened it up for me in the end, there's just something about the murky mood of that one that clicked (I feel like it could be on Exile even). I'd still vote for Sticky Fingers though.

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"

For my entire life until today I've thought the word Mr. Jimmy said here was "damn."

DEAD. Currently processing this.

I've lost track of how many Rolling Stones songs this has happened with.

Sticky Fingers >>> Let It Bleed

hmmph...for my entire life I've thought that the one word Mr. Jimmy said was dirty. Likesay, a dirty word. And that would be just like Mr. Jimmy!

Some think Mr. Jimmy said, "bed".
