Never saw this one (not that I vote on a lot of these polls). I'd like to give some props to December's Children and Out of Our Heads - both excellent energy boosters. Beggars is an all time fave but I think I love Sticky Fingers more.

sticky fingers, for 'moonlight mile' and more.

I'm pretty sure the code just let me vote a second time in this poll. Exile a couple of weeks ago, The Rolling Stones Now! this time.
― Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 14:23 (sixteen years ago) link
As it would happen, i just finished compiling a personal MP3 compilation covering their discography through the mid 80s. In assembling the mix, i pulled in various outtakes and singles (and b-sides) and buried them into the most appropriate album folder so some of those albums are artificially bloated, but still, representative of the era. The winnowing process took a few days but finally resulted in about 6 hours of music that fit onto a single CDR.
Looking over the tracklist today, i see a suprisingly healthy dose from 1964's 12 x 5, both 1965's ...Now & Out Of Our Minds, 1976's Black and Blue and, of all things, 1983's Tattoo You. The most fertile ground comes from 1965 where no less than three albums-worth of material amply covers their most defining period. At the end of the day, however, i can't help but nod to the refinement found in 1968 and 1969 (Let It Bleed) with my final vote going to Beggars Banquet (which is represented by numerous alternate, live, and various heretofore "lost" tracks -- but damn, how could two separate versions of "Memo to Turner" ever be wrong???).

Yeah, I think I accidentally voted twice in a poll before, but I was drunk so I kept my mouth shut 'cause sometimes I don't remember too good, see? I'm also darn sure that I've voted in this poll before and was just now able to cast another vote (for Exile, if we're keeping count).
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 31 May 2007 02:59 (sixteen years ago) link
I never felt like the Stones were a very good 'album band'... but I'm going to go with Satanic Majesty, which I think is the most consistent and a hugely underrated album. This one needs a critical re-evaluation.
― Richard Wood Johnson, Thursday, 31 May 2007 03:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Awesome, I just voted a third time! Whatever the code problem is, I'm all for this ballot-box stuffing.
― Rock Hardy, Thursday, 31 May 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I voted Out Of Our Heads, since I played that one last, and quite enjoyed it.

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.

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

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.
