In 1971, the Rolling Stones found themselves at a crossroads. Guitarist Brian Jones had recently passed away and was replaced by Mick Taylor, the band was reeling from the infamous incident at Altamont, they were launching their own music label, and they were tight on cash. The band needed a hit album to re-establish themselves as the world's greatest rock band. This week, Pat and Derek unpack, or rather unzip Sticky Fingers.

Album Recommendations:

• Aladdin Sane by David Bowie (1973)
• Street Songs by Rick James (1981)
