Have you listened to "Sticky Fingers"? It doesn't sound like you have. The first 3.5 songs lay the template for all 80's and 90's metal bands. Track #1, NASTY, Track #2 NASTY, Track #3 "Wild Horses" BALLAD. But they don’t stop there. Next was the classic "Can't you Here Me Knocking" which starts out as your NASTY standard Stone's song, however mid-stream it morphs into a jazz-fusion classic as Mick Taylor delivers one of prog. rocks most memorable guitar workouts. Not only do the Stones subvert their own classic sound, but they change direction so seamlessly, that the fusion sound becomes all their own. From there the Stones move on to gospel, blues, country rock, and dare I say it...pop music. Truly, the first progressive rock record. Nothing has covered more musical terrain since.
