Those albums represent his most distinctive work, but I don't at all mind the fused-rhythm he and occasional bottleneck solo he essays on Stones records (and he sounds venomous on Dirty Work, on which he receives substantial writing credit).

I looked at this list of albums before any of the posts. I was all set to say, "Why are you voting for all these Rolling Stones albums over pantheon Rod Stewart?" Never mind. Every Picture Tells a Story over A Nod Is As Good As a Wink to a Blind Horse (which is toss-up with Gasoline Alley...I'm thinking about how great "That's All You Need" is).

It's pretty great. Usually $5-6 on Amazon. And I voted for it.

It's live, so it wouldn't qualify for the poll, but my favorite is Wood with Bo Diddley- Live At The Ritz. Rough and tumble rock'n'roll.

seven years pass...

No thread for his own albums that I can see...A friend posted a song on FB a few weeks ago, so I downloaded (sorry, Ronnie--too expensive on Amazon) I've Got My Own Album to Do and Now Look and have been listening to them in the car. Good stuff--"Far East Man" is great '70s fare.

Didn't even realize that's a George Harrison song...

That's my other favourite song on the first album.

Wow, did not realize those CDs had gotten that expensive. Got both of those direct from Amazon (along with Gimme Some Neck) for something like <$25 five or six years ago.

What led me to these two albums was a friend posting "Cancel Everything" on FB for the COVID connection. I was playing the second album in the car today, and I think my favourite song is "Breathe on Me."

Ronnie Wood: prophet of the pandemic.

^^Revisiting Gimme Some Neck, and it's got songs called "Infekshun", "Buried Alive", and a hot version of Dylan's "Seven Days" ('...all I've got to do is survive').
