I've been listening to the Stones since Hot Rocks, age 8, and only now will I be hearing any record of theirs from Undercover to the present. Any last bits of advice?
― Iago Galdston, Friday, 23 March 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link
hearing "all" the records from 1982 to the present, I mean--kind of daunted by it and hope they're not awful!

There's at least a couple of good tracks on voodoo lounge and one on bridges to babylon.

I hadn't ever listened to anything since Dirty Work until tonight -- really kind of surprised to enjoy A Bigger Bang as much as I did.
― any major prude will tell you (WmC), Friday, 23 March 2012 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
Bigger Bang is pretty listenable. It's not great, but it's better for the lame-Stones era, lol

Totally forgot how epic Can't You Hear Me Knocking is. It's like they morph into Santana halfway through

Speaking of Mick Taylor-dominated Stones songs, I gotta remember to put (the Keefless) "Sway" on my ballot.
― we can be gyros just for one day (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 23 March 2012 03:58 (twelve years ago) link
Keef sings backing vox so there
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 March 2012 04:03 (twelve years ago) link
I got/get the impression "Bigger Bang" was a final "look let's end on a great album" as far as the discography is concerned. Whereas they may well keep doing five-yearly tours forever.
― Mark G, Friday, 23 March 2012 07:53 (twelve years ago) link
The only embarrassing Stones albums post-Tattoo You are Undercover (I'll save "She Was Hot" and "Too Much Blood" adn damn the test) and about half of Bridges to Babylon. At worst the other albums are perfunctory.

wow "Moonlight Mile' sounds like something off of Merriweather Post Pavilion in the verses...!
― waiting in the shadow of the Big Gulp (loves laboured breathing), Friday, 23 March 2012 14:09 (twelve years ago) link
Moonlight Mile is one of my faves, but I'm pretty sure She Smiled Sweetly will be my #1. My ballot will probably have a lot of singles/familiar tracks, though.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 23 March 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
Ballot sent. Waffled on my #1, but after listening to it three times in a row this morning, yeah, it's definitely my favorite Stones song.

I'm thinking about ranking a top 40, then chopping off 1-20 and sending in 21-40 as my ballot. Just for perversity's sake.
― any major prude will tell you (WmC), Friday, 23 March 2012 14:19 (twelve years ago) link
ha! Moonlight Mile is probably going to make my top 10 but not top 5, certainly not #1!

Ideally I'd do a top forty, then strip out the singles and submit the rest, but too many of those standards are undeniable. The thought of not voting for Saint Of Me is giving me a cold sweat.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 23 March 2012 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
"Try A Little Harder" is a jam, love that echo at the end when the song sounds like it's falling apart.
― Euler, Friday, 23 March 2012 15:00 (twelve years ago) link
Might have to sit this one out, feeling like my list would be particularly useless for the Stones (unless I spend hours relistening to albums). Will be really excited to see the results though.
― grandavis, Friday, 23 March 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
re. standards, right now I feel like I gotta vote for "Gimme Shelter", "Paint It, Black", & "Sympathy", but I'm relistening & those'll be the ones to fall should I rate anything higher. Or else I'll cut "Lady Jane", which is a standard too I guess.
not gonna cut "Brown Sugar" though
― Euler, Friday, 23 March 2012 15:02 (twelve years ago) link
will definitely vote "saint of me" over "brown sugar," though I have no idea if either will make my final cut
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Friday, 23 March 2012 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
Out of curiosity, what is the logic behind not voting standards? Is it so the results are more varied?
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 March 2012 15:16 (twelve years ago) link
in my case I'm seeing the PS poll with a bunch of standards, & it's not so interesting to me to know which of those are highly rated & which aren't; when I've found these polls interesting it's b/c of less prominent songs that have been rated highly (the Pavement poll was useful to me this way; so was the Blur poll). Since I know the Stones pretty well I want to do my part to make this happen; it'll probably end with unsatisfaction but w/e.
― Euler, Friday, 23 March 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
goddam that was brutal. maybe the most time and effort i've ever put into a single-artist poll vote? wound up stacking my top 10 with personal favorites i hope to nudge into the bottom of the countdown, saved the bigger singles for the lower half of my ballot. early 70s heavily represented, w three from exile and four from goat's head soup. also a bunch of stuff from '67, between the buttons and satanic majesties. only two songs post '73, one from emotional rescue, one from tattoo you. nothing from sticky fingers.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Friday, 23 March 2012 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
suspect that few of my votes will make the cut :(
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Friday, 23 March 2012 15:32 (twelve years ago) link
could have voted for the last 20 songs i cut from my ballot almost as happily
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Friday, 23 March 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
haw, this is going to be hard. might just pick 10 from the 60s, 10 fro the 70s? don't think i'd vote for anything past that.
