Plundered my Soul is pretty good, and the alternate take of Loving Cup is cool.
Yes. The rest of the Exile bonus tracks are kinda dull, and in the case of Pass The Wine, downright awful. That song made my most hated list.

I just don't think I'll ever understand the logic of, 'we found some unfinished pieces of music, of course everyone will love it if old man me puts some half-ass lyrics to it'

Typical, none of mine are gonna place. (did Let It Bleed get 29 votes btw?)
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:08 (twelve years ago) link
I actually had to double-check if I placed Let It Bleed over Beggars as my #1 or not (I did). Both are just so great.

Let It Bleed is badass. My first Stones album.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:12 (twelve years ago) link
er... yes, sorry. 29 votes for Let It Bleed.

i'm with Mick on Exile, i still can barely hum any song on that album besides "Tumbling Dice"
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
the top two, in that order
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
that would have been my 2 as well.

The resounding endorsement of Exile for me is that I cannot hear a single song off that album without automatically singing the next track immediately afterwards in my head.
I love that there's no 'singles' in the classic Stones sense...even having Tumbling Dice as a single sort of seems an afterthought decision. It's not a commercial album at all, I get that's probably why Mick doesn't really get down with it, there's nothing super hooky or super meaty...but UGH GOD SO GOOD.
and I really love 'Happy' as Keith's little mini bio song. It's great.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
Loving Cup is maybe my favorite track. But there are days when it's Let It Loose and there are days when it's Torn and Frayed.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
It's been my favorite album of all time since the day I heard it. I'd love for something to dislodge it, but nothing will.

btw roger how many tracks are you counting down? top 50 or what?
Good discussion here: Exile on Main St.

I didn't vote for albums, but hearty approval of the top four.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
Sticky FIngers is the first great Stones album that I don't LOVE. I think the lyrics got weaker(?!) and it's simply not as interestingas Aftermath, Between the Buttons or LET IT FUCKING BLEED. on the other hand, songs that can compare with Brown Sugar and Moonlight Mile are rare indeed.

Let It Bleed is definitely the weak link out of the big four Stones albums for me - I've tried and tried but I can't get into it beyond maybe four songs. It seems missing some spark that the others have.

and yes, i'm going to let ties share the slot in track results as well -- more/merrier plus avoids "wait where's number 34?" type concerns

seems a little weird to go the full Morbz given that the top 4 are exactly as expected. the weird results can be mostly attributed to massive agreement on 1-4, and a point system that weights #1 votes heavily and #5 votes very lightly. add to that, the early stuff gets slighted because the album catalog is a mess prior to Satanic Majesties and voila.

― Dancing with Mr. T (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:06 (twelve years ago) link
Not fully Morbsing. 4 of my 5 made the list -- I was zinging some dude for Voodoo Lounge, but the top 8, at least, make sense to me.
― Three Word Username, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
tbf i put Voodoo Lounge as my #5 mainly as a gesture towards the kind of chronological variety that this poll will undoubtedly be lacking in, however justifiably
