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

hahah

At this rate we can stretch the results out until August ;)

I listened to Flowers again. Like it better than Between the Buttons for sure.

One of the very first albums I ever pilfered from my parents' pile in our basement rec room. That copy is long gone, although I did replace it at some point.

hybrid of the UK and US versions of between the buttons is better than flowers sez i

No shame! It's a solid fucking album.

ya who! is my "2nd favorite". the sincerest form of trolling.

trollery

and for the older contributors I can understand why it means more than, say, Aftermath.

"ya who" ?

I love "Hang Fire" & "Heaven", & enjoyed listening through the whole album for this poll, a lot more than I remember enjoying it. It's one of my better rediscoveries for this poll (I hope the other will place higher.)

you know what else is solid...

Still don't care for "Slave" or "No Use in Crying," but "Little T&A" is yet another example of how Keith redeems execrable sexism with courtly growls (and how their rhythm section can enliven anything with a slight tempo change).

7 or 8 great songs on tattoo you. i mean, they were basically cherry-picking the best of their unreleased shit, had a clear vision and sympathetic production. much better than its rep suggests.

Still don't care for "Slave" or "No Use in Crying,"

for shame, those are maybe the best songs on the album.

to be a kid in the early eighties and digging albums as solid a Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You. Stronger than the previous three.

damn near had 3 songs from it on my ballot, first stones album i can really remember in a contemporary sense.

alfred and balls otm

xxpost THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH GOAT'S HEAD SOUP, you terrible man

"balls otm"

^ can't stress this enough

xp: yeah, alfred notm abt goats head soup, but i feel i've made that point with sufficient vigor elsewhere

he will laugh on the other side of his 80's face when Winter and Star Star poll highly in the results.

s'all good. We can listen to "100 Years Ago" over a scotch.

done

listening to "Worried About You," I wonder how anyone can fuck with that Wayne Perkins solo.

yuss to 100-year-old scotch

slighted "heaven" in my earlier praise of tattoo you, so

2nd half of Worried About You is better than the first half...I can't get with the falsetto/keyboard thing

This will scare you:

however: Jagger playing keyboards live!

fwiw my 3 most hated ('you can't always get what you want' actually made my ballot - blame the big chill - so clearly no eye to eye here)

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-rrSc0-Tyw

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMb7Is96SwE

xpost oh jeez Alfred...I hung with it til he hit 'sweet things' and my brain shut down

oh I don't mind the harmonica interlude in "Might as Well Get Juiced." But, yes, there is the sense in which this is Grandpa programming keyboard sounds which sounded antique in 1997/

'might as well get juiced' might as well be babylon zoo.

and "Back to Zero" for years was the only song I skipped on DW. Then I warmed to the bridge ("I'm looking to the future/I keep on glancing back").

the vinyl slipcover is amaaaaaaazing

maaaaaaaaaaaan

mooooooooooooooooon, no wait, really? hahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahah

"2000 Man" is another winner that I hope, but doubt, we'll be able to talk about in the tracks part. Mick's vocal is lovely, & the guitar on the quiet parts is too.

seriously you know even before you drop the needle this will be no ordinary musical experience.

"Gomper" is an abomination, though.

are satanic majesties and emotional rescue the two stones lps to have the biggest reversal in reputation over the past whatever years?
