MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

Ya-Yas would be my #1 if we did a best album cover poll though

That would be a fun side poll. I don't know whether Some Girls would rank really high or really low on that scale.

tbf i put Voodoo Lounge as my #5 mainly as a gesture towards the kind of chronological variety - mike daisey explains his stones ballot

mad at you for voting for an album based on sonics

not PURELY based on sonics, i was just saying for an old fogey album made in 1994 it has held up surprisingly well from a production standpoint

balls going over my head

how many songs can you hum off it?

Being irritable at anyone else for liking what they like is o_O to me. I'm not setting foot in that comedy films thread because of exactly that.

some dude you are the challopiest challop to ever challop and don't even try to deny it

not irritable! just amused and I like poking some dude cause it's fun and he pokes back :D

i don't think anyone's ~mad~ at some dude

we're just disappointed because we'd thought better of him *sighs*

getting excited here rogermexico, muchas gracias for the poll!

we think some dude is mad, but we are not mad AT him

hey all i really said was it's my favorite post-Tattoo You album. unless there's another you'd like to stump for i don't see how that can be controversial.

Alfred and Ismael can make excellent cases for why they would vote for it, beyond that it 'sounds better' than the others.
You just need to work on your material.

i have to admit i don't mind voodoo lounge up there cuz man have i known some HARDCORE stones dorks that will ride hard for that album (and dirty work go figure). mind you these guys also inevitably will let you know that the new york dolls were faggots and will regale you with how much they hated seeing prince or living colour open for the stones for reasons that will get very uncomfortable very quickly but still, nice to see the myth of voodoo lounge represented.

VG i like several individual songs on the album and voted for a couple, but i didn't get into particulars because if you're going to be a dick about oh my god how dare someone talk about how something SOUNDS then why bother

wait what happened

some dude have you heard 'might as well get juiced'?

dude you made it sound like the sound of the album was the only reason you voted for it, which made me lol, so if I'm upsetting you by calling you out then I'm sorry but for all the world I thought you were challopsing, for real

cripes sorry

I kinda feel bad for all the albums before Aftermath

lol

Maybe we can do a radio button poll of those, so they can get some love

vg wasn't really being a dick, just pointing out that when soto for example defends dirty work he actually makes an argument whereas you're just offering up a tautology. as it's a few ppl shooting the shit about post-she's the boss stones albums on a messageboard i'm not sure it's really worth anyone getting their dander up over.

Kinda wish I'd put in a vote for The Rolling Stones Now!

I extend a hug and an olive branch to u, some dude... we should make peace before the awesome results begin

i am never gonna put as much effort into my posts as soto, that's for sure

it's all good though, no hard feelings

:D

or maybe that should be

:P for stones

Ironically, if we had submitted ballots for the Top 5 Stones Albums Not Released 1968-1972, I'm not sure Voodoo would have made the top ten.

i dunno "i like what don was did there" seemed like a pretty good esplanation to me but whatev

anyhoo

Shoutout to sweet cousin cocaine

aftermath seemed to consolidate early stones album vote, the way vertigo has really become the default hitchcock on the last couple of sight and sound polls.

great picture, rog! (not a fan of the song, but an auspicious debut to see such a deep cut place right at the start)

I cut Sister Morphine, but it was one of the last cuts - glad to see it place.

I kinda love this song, specially the weird guitar DOINGs

i still haven't figured out how to make my guitar do that tbh

i dig the piano sound on sister morphine. do we think that mick had heard sister ray before writing this song? not that they sound similar, just the "sister" thang.

also this song really does nail "downers"

at least in my experience with the sizzurp

i still haven't figured out how to make my guitar do that tbh

Keef was using a syringe as a slide.

This was top ten for me -- Charlie's drums, the Ry Cooder slide, the bizarro Jack Nitzsche piano playing -- a close relative of mine who spent months in the hospital after a near fatal car accident said that this song was onomatopoeic.

your close relative otm
