The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" & "Some Girls"

 The Rolling Stones may have made their debut in the ‘60s, but it was in the ‘70s that they came into their own. The band launched into that brand new decade with the bold proclamation that they were The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World, and then proceeded to confirm it with their first studio album of the ‘70s, Sticky Fingers.  As the ‘70s wore on, the Stones fell from critical grace and seemed to lose their distinctive bite. By the end of that era, the emergence of punk rock and the popularity of disco made many of rock music’s pioneers seem old and in the way. Not so the Stones. With their final studio album of the decade, Some Girls, they proved they still had plenty of reasons for us music fans to sit up and take notice.  Great Moments in Vinyl performs two of the Stones’ best with a narrated concert featuring Sticky Fingers... "Dirty rock like this has still to be bettered, and there is still no rival in sight." -Colin Larkin, All Time Top 1000 Albums - 1994.  ..and Some Girls.  "If you want to survive the Seventies and enter the Eighties with something more than your bankbook and dignity intact, you'd better dredge up your leftover pride, bite the bullet and try like hell to sweat out some good music. Which is exactly what the Stones have done." -Paul Nelson, Rolling Stone - 06/09/78.
