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

you and Alfred and Ismael will have a lot to talk about

i'm talking about the production, the way the sound of the band is captured on tape

like, the songs on Voodoo Lounge might not be classics but compared to the horrid-sounding Bridges To Babylon it's pretty pleasing to the ears

without making any claims wrt artistic merit, voodoo lounge has like double the sales of ya ya's

Sure, but it also likely has vastly more sales than Satanic, Buttons, or Aftermath.

i think a lot of people just didn't think to include a live LP in their ballots

Yeah, I'll totally grant that live albums may not be in the forefront of peoples' minds when thinking of "the best Stones albums," but I see it as just as crucial to the Golden Era as BB or LiB.

Ya-Yas would be my #1 if we did a best album cover poll though

maybe when we do the frampton poll

tbf i put Voodoo Lounge as my #5 mainly as a gesture towards the kind of chronological variety

i'm making a different gesture towards your kind of chronological variety

I'll join you in that gesture

are people actually mad at me for being one of two people that helped an album tie for #10? jeez guys

i mean should it have placed ahead of Goats Head Soup? probably not, no, but ain't that your fault?

i made Aftermath my #5 for the same reason and have nothing but love for all ballots.

speaking of which

mad at you for voting for an album based on sonics

That would be a fun side poll. I don't know whether Some Girls would rank really high or really low on that scale.

not PURELY based on sonics, i was just saying for an old fogey album made in 1994 it has held up surprisingly well from a production standpoint

balls going over my head

how many songs can you hum off it?

Being irritable at anyone else for liking what they like is o_O to me. I'm not setting foot in that comedy films thread because of exactly that.

some dude you are the challopiest challop to ever challop and don't even try to deny it

not irritable! just amused and I like poking some dude cause it's fun and he pokes back :D

i don't think anyone's ~mad~ at some dude

we're just disappointed because we'd thought better of him *sighs*

getting excited here rogermexico, muchas gracias for the poll!

we think some dude is mad, but we are not mad AT him

hey all i really said was it's my favorite post-Tattoo You album. unless there's another you'd like to stump for i don't see how that can be controversial.

Alfred and Ismael can make excellent cases for why they would vote for it, beyond that it 'sounds better' than the others.
You just need to work on your material.

i have to admit i don't mind voodoo lounge up there cuz man have i known some HARDCORE stones dorks that will ride hard for that album (and dirty work go figure). mind you these guys also inevitably will let you know that the new york dolls were faggots and will regale you with how much they hated seeing prince or living colour open for the stones for reasons that will get very uncomfortable very quickly but still, nice to see the myth of voodoo lounge represented.

VG i like several individual songs on the album and voted for a couple, but i didn't get into particulars because if you're going to be a dick about oh my god how dare someone talk about how something SOUNDS then why bother

wait what happened

some dude have you heard 'might as well get juiced'?

dude you made it sound like the sound of the album was the only reason you voted for it, which made me lol, so if I'm upsetting you by calling you out then I'm sorry but for all the world I thought you were challopsing, for real

cripes sorry

I kinda feel bad for all the albums before Aftermath

lol

Maybe we can do a radio button poll of those, so they can get some love

vg wasn't really being a dick, just pointing out that when soto for example defends dirty work he actually makes an argument whereas you're just offering up a tautology. as it's a few ppl shooting the shit about post-she's the boss stones albums on a messageboard i'm not sure it's really worth anyone getting their dander up over.

Kinda wish I'd put in a vote for The Rolling Stones Now!

I extend a hug and an olive branch to u, some dude... we should make peace before the awesome results begin

i am never gonna put as much effort into my posts as soto, that's for sure

it's all good though, no hard feelings

:D

or maybe that should be

:P for stones

Ironically, if we had submitted ballots for the Top 5 Stones Albums Not Released 1968-1972, I'm not sure Voodoo would have made the top ten.

i dunno "i like what don was did there" seemed like a pretty good esplanation to me but whatev

anyhoo
