US version of AYE definitely has a stronger tracklisting.

we've got a box of donuts down here at The Aorta this morning, so a lot of us have sticky fingers right now, I tell ya
8. The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers46 points, 5 votes, 1 first place vote
― some dude, Sunday, 27 July 2014 15:34 (ten years ago) link
definitely one of those albums where it just boggles my mind how many classics are on it. i remember the first time i looked at the tracklist like "wait, my favorite '70s Stones songs, they're all here!?"

That's two of my top five now, plus I had a gateway Hendrix comp too. Feeling like my 'no deep cuts' policy is paying off.

i think i underrated sticky fingers bc i kind of mentally edit out "brown sugar" and "bitch"

sorry, Ismael, we have rules about greatest hits albums

I know Brown Sugar has shown up as a most hated track (understandably), but I love that live version on The Brussels Affair.

How is this only #6? Oh right, I didn't send in an albums ballot. You people are disappoint.

would have probably landed at #6 my ballot tbh -- indisputably classic but its no Boston

okay that comes off a lot harsher than i meant it. xo tom p i listen to you a lot more than tom s

I was only kind of jokingly complaining. I know what the staples are, and there are more than ten of them, so this list is (or should be) all gold.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 27 July 2014 15:57 (ten years ago) link
One of my big takeaways from the Petty doc I watched a couple weeks ago is that drum sound they fine-tuned in the studio during the Torpedoes sessions (and maintained through the rest of the 80s until Jeff Lynne butted in). It is SO IMPORTANT to the success of top-tier Petty songs.

yeah i feel like it's a minority opinion around here but f jeff lynne's magic touch imo

I'm pretty embarrassed that I didn't know about the different track lists of AYE. I always just listened to the 17-track CD tbh.

Houses of the Holy is such a weird ragbag mess of an album, it's hard to believe that PG is the odds-and-ends comp.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 27 July 2014 16:53 (ten years ago) link
you may be asking yourself about now, what could possibly next? what could be higher than Boston? who's next, huh? well....I'm gonna go ask the station manager if he can remember, because I can't. we're all wasted, quite frankly.

my #1 - can't wait to see what bullshit ILM thinks is more classic rock than Who's Next
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
hint: nothing
My number one as well, every song holds up for me despite the constant rotation.

Wow, what a dull list
― g simmel, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:04 (ten years ago) link
Who's Next wasn't my #1 (but another Who album was, which likely won't show up).

My # 2 and only one to place so far. Of course I had a greatest and a live album, so that's on me.

who's next is the classic rockiest of all classic rock albums as far as i'm concerned, but i didn't vote for it because i'm way beyond sick of the two classic rockiest anthems on it.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:25 (ten years ago) link
there are three tracks from rumours in my top 60. it didn't even occur to me to vote for the album. i have no idea why.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:28 (ten years ago) link
I feel like there're three possible no.1s now, each of which will make for a radically different tracks countdown.
