Already kissing enough of it away with this thread. Makes work interesting, we'll say, though not as heavy as the Bowie or Zep polls so far, but yeah, gonna wait until I have more time to kill. Photos are amaaaaazing so far.

no, i like the thread title, though it's not as easy to remember as "it's just a POLL away" or "can't get no POLLisfaction"

My ideas were "Poll This All Together (See What Happens)" and "Poll Poll Poll Poll Poll (Heartbreaker)".

always figure that POLL titles should be as crushingly stupid as possible, so rhyming is out, as it makes a kind of sense
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
"Poll Poll Poll Poll Poll (Heartbreaker)" is pretty great though, and less stupid than the song title it's playing off

LET IT BLEED! My #4, but I kind of wish I'd voted it #1...there's a whole novel's worth of unpacking in the way Mick moves through the choruses, from lean to cream to feed to finally bleed. I love the camaraderie aspect of the Stones more than anything else about them; their vision of barfly camaraderie in Hell is one of my favorites.

hilariously fitting those two tied!
"Beast of Burden" overplayed in recent years but it's such a bauble.
Fun Fact: the last time they ever scored two top tens from one album.
