I don't find "Let It Bleed" particularly good, but it's way better than "Exile". If there is one album in the traditional canon that is underrated in this poll, then I would say "Beggar's Banquet" is the one. I mean, it contains "Sympathy For The Devil", "Street Fighting Man" and "No Expectations". Nuff said.

BB is seventh, that's hardly 'under-rated' considering how many there are here.
― Mark G, Friday, 1 June 2007 08:27 (sixteen years ago) link
BB is obviously a lot better than "Goat's Head Soup". Plus I would say it is better than all of their "classic" 1969-72 albums too.

Fess up, Alfred, all those Dirty Work votes were from you, no?
Two, actually, and was quite prepared to accept bribes to vote some more.

There's contrarian votes all over ILX, so why all the fuss on this thread?
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 1 June 2007 22:26 (sixteen years ago) link
i want people to explain why they voted Goats Head Soup. grated i love this album but it not even remotely close to their best. these poll results are strange even for ILM. how the hell does Bridges to Babylon or A Bigger Bang even get one vote? but than i love the fact that Some Girls got five votes.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 2 June 2007 05:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, the Goats Head Soup fiends should out/explain themselves.
― JN$OT, Saturday, 2 June 2007 05:59 (sixteen years ago) link
"A Bigger Bang" was considered sort of a "return to form", but granted I'd expect those who named it so to still vote for something from the late 60s or early 70s.
― Geir Hongro, Saturday, 2 June 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I can see with some of the 60s psych fans on this board that Their Satanic Majesties Request would get some votes, but not that many and Beggars Banquet being that low is really surprising. I think "No Expectations" is the best song that Jagger and Richards ever wrote.

Classic ILXOR poll - just the right mix of contrarianism and trendiness.

Yep.
ILX = "I love Pet Sounds AND 'Kokomo!' Too bad 'Good Vibrations' and 'Help me Rhonda' were such pieces of shit."

Kind of an odd choice for Wyman to join them on; he didn't even play on the studio recording.

Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang got a vote
!

Yeah, can't believe those two got votes and Tattoo You got none.
― Nate Carson, Monday, 26 November 2012 03:58 (eleven years ago) link
would've voted for 'the rolling stones' (which isn't the same album as 'england's newest hitmakers'), which is the one i listen to most these days.
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Monday, 26 November 2012 04:50 (eleven years ago) link
Dirty Work getting more votes than Some Girls or Flowers is one of those "only on ILM" things.

Just noticing how many "BB" album titles they had: BB, BtheB, B&B, BtoB and aBB.
Too bad they were beaten to Blonde on Blonde, Back in Black or Beaucoups of Blues.

that was my mistake, Yellow Kid. That was playing on the PA as people filed out!

I guess Street Fighting Man is a little too risky to play these days, lol

I dunno if this is the thread for it but I finally saw Crossfire Hurricane and while the interview content isn't necessarily anything new, goddamn I loved some of that footage (no not just naked mick bending over in front of the camera O_O). also cool to get more horse's mouth stuff from Taylor, even if it's stuff I already knew.

Well done. Interesting that Goat’s Head Soup escaped Meh status. I like it but I understand it has its share of detractors.

I disliked Goats Head Soupp for years thanks to that pustule called "Angie," but I saved it for the sake of "Winter," "Coming Round Again," and "100 Years Ago."
