the fact that on this tour Mick introduced/apologised for playing "Sway" by describing it as an 'obscure' song speaks volumes. An obscurity? From 'Sticky Fingers'?
The fact that he ever apologizes for anything other than the things he owes US an apology for speaks volumes.
This has been a key problem with Jag's on stage persona ever since the 89 reunion.
"Do you all like the noo songs, uh? Do ya? Oh please tell us we're still awright!"
I hate it when he does that crap.

In 89 at least Mick had the guts to say here's a new one. Can't have a concert without the new stuff. |

I used to think Sticky was better. In fact I almost ruined my Sticky Fingers CD, because I listened to it like 2 times a day for 5 months.
But now I can fully understand Exile on Main Street, and it's a better album. This is the Stones at their best. All their influences are here, blues, gospel, soul, rhtym n' blues, rock n roll. And they managed to mix those influences and make somthing original.
Sticky fingers still rules though |

I wrote this on lugar's, earlier this year:
"Sticky is a great record. These days, I am preferring Beggars as my runner up to Exile, but no one can deny Sticky.
However, the difference is thus:
The love of your life has left you. S/he don't love you anymore and you might want to throw yourself off the roof.
You seek Stones for comfort. As it should be.
Sticky is a coke and bourbon fueled, heartbroken fling. You've gone out to a bar and brought home an angel. You've tenderly, lovingly licked cocaine off her abdomen. The two of you are locked in a whorish, desperate fuck. Dirty but vulnerable. Dragging fistfuls of need from each other's hair. This is solace.
Exile is a cocaine and bourbon fueled journey into the terror of solitude, the horror of unconditional love, the emptiness of the friendships you thought could sustain you, and the salvation of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. With Exile, you don't need that angel you picked up at the bar. She becomes a third wheel the minute that first crunching chord blares from the speakers. Exile is your lover now. Exile becomes the woman whom you loved, broke your heart, scorned you, fucked you, and cooked you chicken soup. Exile shows you why the whole thing was her fault. Exile shows you why the whole thing was YOUR fault. Exile shows you why the whole thing was LOVE's fault. Finally, Exile shows you the way back to sanity is in the acceptance of your pain, your flaws, your humanity. Here is comfort, solace, beauty, passion, lust and revelation--and you found it in the trash. Exile IS the friend you're waiting on. Exile IS rock n' roll.
Both are necessary to get through it. But only one can sustain you over and over and over again. There are only so many angelic flings you can have. Then you want more. You want Exile."

I'm in the minority, I think Exile is over-rated. Sticky Fingers is one of the best albums of all time. IMO. |

This is why SheRat is considered a top tier poster ladies and gentlemen! A-List all the way.
A brilliant analysis and spot on as per the usual SheRat! I loved it when I read at it on The Couch,and I still love it to this day.

Genius, SheRat. Yet the dilemma remains: Can the joy and solace of knowing that you live and breathe and walk the earth in female form loving the Stones as I do outweigh the anguish of not having you here as my own? |

I've always considered SF a celebration of the lifestyle they adopted, and Exile the consuquences. Though to be sure, there are songs on SF that are probably more harrowing than on Exile.
WH, SM - and the incredible MM.
Though Exile does have parasites in dressing rooms and turds on the run. |

Exile is their best and has to be listened to all the way through. I mean its got blues,country,gospel rock,rockibilly. Their most diverse album by far. Casino Boogie-Lovin Cup-Torn and Frayed-Let it Loose-somebody stop me. Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes. Cause im nitty gritty and my shirt is all torn. |

Woah...damn good writing there. Left me a little breathless!  |

Like everyone, I'm a huge fan of both records and will conclude by saying that I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite, however, I will add that while Sticky Fingers grabbed my attention and drew me in immediately, Exile On Main St is a grower. I'm sure there are many other than myself, who dismissed it at first. |

seriously, right? I've never understood why Mick doesn't like this record--some of his finest moments are on it--Ventialtor Blues and Let it Loose are two freakin' whammy vocal performances. People have said Mick doesn't like it cause it's Keith's record doesn't make any sense ot me...anyways, thanks for the comments everybody.
Brainbell--you know I love you too. Have you gone to see I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House yet?

No, I haven't. Thanks for the tip. Tonight, I'm going to the Benefit for Curtis Salgado. I don't know if you're familiar with Curtis, but he's a legendary (at least locally) blues vocalist and harp player. Back in the Seventies, he played with Robert Cray when they were both local acts in Eugene, Oregon. Belushi befriended him when he was in Eugene filming Animal House; Curtis is credited on the first Blues Brothers album. Anyway, Curtis was recently disagnosed with liver cancer and (of course) has no health insurance. The benefit features Steve Miller, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray (flying in from Europe on a break from touring with Clapton), Everclear (a Portland band), Little Charlie & the Nightcats and Curtis's band. I think it'll be a good evening. |

i think mick says the opposite of what he really thinks -
wyman has said that....
let it loose is his finest moment ever to me:
'she deliver right on tiiiime....'
his passion on this song just fucking soars...
and he knows it. maybe the lyrics and performances were too personal - and so by divorcing himself from the whole
thing, he keeps his cards to himself.
but not really....
anyway, a truly beautiful post SheRat.

I can't decide, though Sticky Fingers is probably the one. I love Sway and Moonlight Mile! |

STICKY FINGERS has always been my favorite STONES album, I loved it from the first day I bought the original vinyl with the metal zipper, I would play that record day after day thinking that was MICK in the tighty whities. It wasnt till years later I found out that was Andy Worhol's protege, uh his boy toy apprentice.
I have an audio interview asking MICK his favorite album and he clearly says STICKY FINGERS first and then EXILE second. |

Exile...
Each song is in a the best order to make a LONG playing unique album with each song leading to the other.
The first few tracks are just a warm up for what's to come... (You Satanic Majestie's fans know what I mean.)
Sticky fingers... Some amazing songs, some I only like occasionally such as SWAY, BITCH and the overplayed CYHMK (better live such as the Four Flicks version. Props to Ronnie for the solo!)
My tastes are leaning more toward Exile. A point in their career where they were fully developed enough to make an epic album (if you will)... A nice blend of excellent songs of many genres on Exile.
