CS Blues is pretty great, but narrowing it to 20 will be hard enough

Ballots will undoubtedly fall into categories of when-did-it-end? Three most common: nothing after Exile (me), nothing after Some Girls, nothing after Tattoo You. If Nick Cohn were voting, it'd be nothing after Aftermath or thereabouts. If the rules were different and Rob Sheffield were voting, it'd be Mick Jagger solo hits very much in play.

How are votes for live versions being calculated (I'd pick "Sympathy" from Ya-Yas over the studio version)?
(I'm also curious because I'm trying to figure out how to tackle this issue when I do the Who poll)

When I did the Beatles one (ah, only one "Live" record, nobody voted a pref in that way), I noted 'alt: versions' votes but compiled them as one.
― Mark G, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:40 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's the standard practice I think
― iatee, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:41 (twelve years ago) link
Many thanks to rogermexico for running this one. It should break all existing response records.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:55 (twelve years ago) link
yup - votes for alt versions count as votes for the track but will be noted

Thanks for doing this! Been looking forward to this one.

Excited for this one! I'll probably put together a ballot over the weekend and let it sit and stew for a couple of days to see if any changes demand to be made before I send it in. I would love for this one to break the Bowie record, but with a 9-day voting period, a lot of people in the "yeah I'll get around to it...ooops I forgot" camp are going to have to pull their thumb out and just make the time.

eeek yeah this is gonna be tough
I put together a provisional ballot w/o thinking about it toooo much, but then I have to strategize a bit since I could easily vote for 40 songs off the top of my head. Do I cut singles, or most singles, knowing they'll be fine w/o me? I guess! Do I lean heavily on the "twee Stones" era I love so much, knowing that it'll likely be in vain? I think so! Do I care that my ballot is 60s heavy? I guess not!
anyway Flowers is pretty much the best

I've been listening to the Stones since Hot Rocks, age 8, and only now will I be hearing any record of theirs from Undercover to the present. Any last bits of advice?

Speaking of Mick Taylor-dominated Stones songs, I gotta remember to put (the Keefless) "Sway" on my ballot.

I got/get the impression "Bigger Bang" was a final "look let's end on a great album" as far as the discography is concerned. Whereas they may well keep doing five-yearly tours forever.
― Mark G, Friday, 23 March 2012 07:53 (twelve years ago) link
The only embarrassing Stones albums post-Tattoo You are Undercover (I'll save "She Was Hot" and "Too Much Blood" adn damn the test) and about half of Bridges to Babylon. At worst the other albums are perfunctory.

Submitted my HR-heavy ballot - in the end I just didn't have much desire to hunt down great album tracks that I know I'll get around to eventually. The problem is that I've known and loved the obvious selections on that comp for so long that it would take weeks or months of repeated listens for me to feel similarly about a deep cut here or there. I could vote for tracks I heard and liked based on recommendations ITT, but that would mean bumping songs I've cherished for a dozen years or more. Think it's more important to be honest about what you love.
