Re: Stones polls
Really difficult on all counts for me.
1. Voted for Sticky Fingers but I think it's close. Sticky Fingers just has better consistency, though Bleed has higher high points, plus Gimme Shelter, which is close to my favorite song of all time. Monkey Man is seriously underrated.
2. Went with Loving Cup, Happy, and All Down The Line. Tumbling Dice and Casino Boogie both quite close, as well as Rocks Off. Not the ultimate "song" album but the production (or lack thereof?) on these is stellar.
3. REALLY tough. Ended up going with Sway, Knocking, and Wild Horses. Bitch is a really close #4. Yet, Morphine, Mile, and Dead Flowers, and ofc Brown Sugar (however trite) are all really close. Strange album in that it starts off insane, takes a brief lull with Blues, and ends strong in the last 5 tracks. Ry Cooder on Sister Morphine is one of the album's highlights.
