5/6. Tony Visconti chooses six 45rpm hits for their lasting significance. He continues with the Rolling Stones' raunchy Brown Sugar. Recorded in late 1969 but not released until the spring of 1971, the single marked the band's return to the singles chart after a year and a half, reaching number one in the States and peaking here at number two. Even dirtier-sounding than its hit predecessor, Honky Tonk Woman, the sex-and-drugs track opened the LP Sticky Fingers and remains a staple in the Stones'ever expanding canon.
