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
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
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
― da croupier, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
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
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
balls going over my head
how many songs can you hum off it?
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
i don't think anyone's ~mad~ at some dude
we're just disappointed because we'd thought better of him *sighs*
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
getting excited here rogermexico, muchas gracias for the poll!

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.
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:37 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago) link
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
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
wait what happened
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
some dude have you heard 'might as well get juiced'?
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
I kinda feel bad for all the albums before Aftermath
― da croupier, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
lol
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
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
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
i am never gonna put as much effort into my posts as soto, that's for sure
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
it's all good though, no hard feelings
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
:D
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
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.

aftermath seemed to consolidate early stones album vote, the way vertigo has really become the default hitchcock on the last couple of sight and sound polls.
― balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
great picture, rog! (not a fan of the song, but an auspicious debut to see such a deep cut place right at the start)
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
I cut Sister Morphine, but it was one of the last cuts - glad to see it place.

i still haven't figured out how to make my guitar do that tbh
