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

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

Shoutout to sweet cousin cocaine

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.

great picture, rog! (not a fan of the song, but an auspicious debut to see such a deep cut place right at the start)

I cut Sister Morphine, but it was one of the last cuts - glad to see it place.

I kinda love this song, specially the weird guitar DOINGs

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

i dig the piano sound on sister morphine. do we think that mick had heard sister ray before writing this song? not that they sound similar, just the "sister" thang.

also this song really does nail "downers"

at least in my experience with the sizzurp

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

Keef was using a syringe as a slide.

This was top ten for me -- Charlie's drums, the Ry Cooder slide, the bizarro Jack Nitzsche piano playing -- a close relative of mine who spent months in the hospital after a near fatal car accident said that this song was onomatopoeic.

your close relative otm

phew something stinks in here...I mean, "Hey! Salt of the Earth!"

hmm, probably my least favorite song on BB

i voted for "Salt," have very warm feelings toward it from the Rock And Roll Circus performance

but back to sister morphine -- ry cooder *is* really great on that isn't he. wonder if the stones ever tried to just hire ry as their new lead guitarist?

Salt of the Earth is funny and cruel. Sister Morphine is pretty and cruel until the "sweet cousin cocaine" part. then it's funny.

I love Salt of the Earth, I voted it pretty high

i remember one week when as teenagers i would taunt my brother by singing "Angie" in a really absurdly over the top Mick voice. good times.

Hey, how many total ballots were there? I assume the 42 was just the amount of album ballots, but that tracks are coming from a bigger pool, correct?

It always weirds me out how Hotel California's intro sounds sorta like Angie

it kinda pisses me off tbqh

noted upthread but since it's moving pretty fast:
• 67 ballots
• 169 tracks receiving votes

tbh, I first became aware of "Angie" via Tori Amos's cover of it on one of her singles or an ep or something. But I got around to the Stones original and really fell for it.

xxxxp yeah, I used to sing Angie like this all the time. in fact, I still do

shouldn't the number of votes decide the ties?

voted for Out of Time! is it too low?

Thanks! Sorry, I looked for the total but somehow couldn't find it.

"angie" was one of the staple "slow dance" numbers when i was in junior high

haaaa, such a raw song for 13 year olds to be dancing to.
