Maybe my 3rd favorite album behind Exile and Sticky Fingers
Just my Imagination is <3 <3 <3
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:34 (twelve years ago) link
i just heard their "Imagination" last week while working on my ballot and was really blown away, so great
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 01:35 (twelve years ago) link
yeah album seems pretty predictable for better or worse to me right now - tattoo you maybe too low (probably not), satanic too high (almost definitely since seems pretty likely 12X5 and december's children won't be ranked). guessing top five: #5 aftermath #432 beggars-let it bleed-sticky fingers (no idea what order) #1 exile

Also "Beast of Burden" - guitar work on that is just straight-up beautiful to me, always kind of sends me, in that Sam Cooke way :)

really all of some girls is like an ad for the Phase 100... listening again tonight i kinda regret not voting for it.
...
but then tonight "no use in crying" is coming off achingly beautiful and i'm also regretting not voting for tattoo you so.

I had the US version of Aftermath in mind when I voted it #1, but really either one would still be my favorite Stones album.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 07:17 (twelve years ago) link
The Stones really do have a fair few good-but-slightly-patchy 7/10 type albums - Satanic Majesties, Aftermath, Between the Buttons and Tattoo You are all in this category for me.
I like Emotional Rescue a lot, that and Some Girls feel like two halves of the same album.

BB is so fucking great. look at that tracklist right there.
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, too low for Beggars Banquet. It should be 2
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:43 (twelve years ago) link
BB definitely has the edge over Sticky Fingers, i'll say that much.
― charlie h, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
Let It Bleed too, imho
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
I never could totally get onboard the country-folk-blues tunes on that album. It should have kicked off with "Jumpin' Jack Flash". No way is it better than Let It Bleed.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
Jumpin' Jack Flash would make any album far better. But you can also say that Let It Bleed should have had Honky Tonk Women instead of Country Honk.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 14:56 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but I only recently discovered that "Country Honk" was the original version.

for those of you gnashing your teeth over the low finish for Beggars Banquet, take a look at the point differential.

two #1s vs. eight #1s though! i didn't realize LIB would have sucha lead on it
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:09 (twelve years ago) link
I'm feeling okay about BB and Let It Bleed, i love them both, I love Let It Bleed slightly more, but I don't love either album more than the 2 that are yet to place.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
really love the country-blues material that inhabits BB and find it to be really well executed and stripped-back with all kinds of swagger and poise. never found it to be insincere of too much of a stretch. thinking about it now, i'm reminded how i haven't thought much about "prodigal son" recently. damn that track smokes.

BB is a really satisfying album, it hangs together so well.

it was probably the first one i fell in love with.

side note: there's been a very mild Rolling Stones sub-plot in the first 2 episodes of Mad Men this season :D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
I always had 'Sticky Fingers' 4th. The other 3 could be in any order for me, although 'Exile' has the advantage of being longer. Sort of the same way I feel about placing 'Evol' 'Sister' and 'Daydream Nation' in order.
― nicky lo-fi, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
I don't understand Sticky Fingers anywhere else other than 2nd place

dunno, there was a lot of challopsy bashing of Sticky Fingers on that Can't Your Hear Me Knocking poll, but look at that tracklisting. So good! I know some people prefer the Marianne version of Sister Morphine (I might too), but i looooooove the sequencing of "Dead Flowers immediately following it. like, taking you to the darkest corners of addiction, and then saying lol nevermind, where's my needle and spoon?

― Year of the RMDE (loves laboured breathing), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
I do think the first 6 songs of Sticky are perfect. Maybe it does get a bit dark for me after that. 'sway' and 'wild horses' are among my all-timers.
― nicky lo-fi, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
Also, they never had a string arrangement (before or since) to compare with "Moonlight Mile."
