Flowers also only got two votes, can't imagine we'll have a bunch of people going "YAY HOT ROCKS!"

Now watch as "Midnight Rambler (Live)" fans prove me wrong.

Aftermath (US version)+ Between the Buttons (UK version) + Flowers = best music ever
― gospodin simmel, Monday, 2 April 2012 20:40 (fourteen years ago)
my favorite, at least
I think there were higher highs before and (esp) after that period, but yeah, that's my favorite Stones era for consistency.

multiple x-post: "Indian Girl" rhymes "larder" with "raped her". No defense is possible.

At this rate we can stretch the results out until August ;)
I listened to Flowers again. Like it better than Between the Buttons for sure.

One of the very first albums I ever pilfered from my parents' pile in our basement rec room. That copy is long gone, although I did replace it at some point.
― clemenza, Monday, 2 April 2012 22:12 (fourteen years ago)
hybrid of the UK and US versions of between the buttons is better than flowers sez i

No shame! It's a solid fucking album.

ya who! is my "2nd favorite". the sincerest form of trolling.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:49 (fourteen years ago)
trollery
and for the older contributors I can understand why it means more than, say, Aftermath.
"ya who" ?
― mookieproof, Monday, 2 April 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)
I love "Hang Fire" & "Heaven", & enjoyed listening through the whole album for this poll, a lot more than I remember enjoying it. It's one of my better rediscoveries for this poll (I hope the other will place higher.)
― Euler, Monday, 2 April 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)
you know what else is solid...
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)
Still don't care for "Slave" or "No Use in Crying," but "Little T&A" is yet another example of how Keith redeems execrable sexism with courtly growls (and how their rhythm section can enliven anything with a slight tempo change).
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:51 (fourteen years ago)
7 or 8 great songs on tattoo you. i mean, they were basically cherry-picking the best of their unreleased shit, had a clear vision and sympathetic production. much better than its rep suggests.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:53 (fourteen years ago)
Still don't care for "Slave" or "No Use in Crying,"
for shame, those are maybe the best songs on the album.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:54 (fourteen years ago)
to be a kid in the early eighties and digging albums as solid a Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You. Stronger than the previous three.

damn near had 3 songs from it on my ballot, first stones album i can really remember in a contemporary sense.

he will laugh on the other side of his 80's face when Winter and Star Star poll highly in the results.

s'all good. We can listen to "100 Years Ago" over a scotch.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:59 (fourteen years ago)
done
listening to "Worried About You," I wonder how anyone can fuck with that Wayne Perkins solo.

oh I don't mind the harmonica interlude in "Might as Well Get Juiced." But, yes, there is the sense in which this is Grandpa programming keyboard sounds which sounded antique in 1997/

and "Back to Zero" for years was the only song I skipped on DW. Then I warmed to the bridge ("I'm looking to the future/I keep on glancing back").
