No way. Thats a silly rule to have to follow. Exile, Sticky, Goats are all in Top 10.

Yes it is a silly rule. I was trying to stay consistent with our other "Top 10" threads. Too many good albums released in the '70s to pick only 10. I'll start off with a Top 25 no limit on releases per artist:

Stones: Ya Yas, SF, Exile, GHS, Some Girls
Clash: Clash (UK), London Calling
Stooges: Fun House, Raw Power
Modern Lovers s/t
Congos: Heart Of The Congo
Neil Young: After The Gold Rush, Tonight's The Night
Rod Stewart: Every Picture...
Bob Marley & Wailers: Catch A Fire
New York Dolls s/t
Television: Marquee Moon
Pere Ubu: The Modern Dance
Bob Dylan: Blood On The Tracks
Can: Future Days
Toots & The Maytals: Funky Kingston
Santana: Abraxas
Pil: Second Edition (I had this on my '80s list but it was released in '79)
Ramones s/t
Van Morrison: Moondance

I like this list alot. Alice and Humble Pie are the only ones I don't know that well. I know alicew, just never got into him alot. Funny, I used to listen to my Dads copy of Lamb... I was wondering recently if I should get it on CD. I bought Gabriels first thee on CD last remastered...

the good You people are crazy if you think GHS is one of the top ten albums of the 70's. It barely in the top ten of the Stones.

I didn't say your crazy to like it, but do you really regard it as one of the top ten albums from the 70's?
28th April 2006 02:42 AM
pdog I didn't list any Stones albums in any of the top lists for any decade. Stones are my favorite band, so much so, and this being a Stones board, I thought it was a waste to put any of their records on a list.
To answer your question, I like GHS, like I like Black & Blue and ER... which are just behind Tattoo You, but better than Undercover. Exile being my favorite, then Some Girls, followed by the remaining three of the BIG 4. Then the older stuff, including Satanic, which I like more than Dirty Work. Aftermath would be a fvorite of mine equal to Voodoo, I'd have to put Voodoo right before Satanic, which I also like more than A Bigger Bang but not Steel Wheels, that's the album right after Dirty Work chronoligically speaking, but not better than Aftermath. Between The Buttons comes after Aftermath, LOL! I made a funny!
So yeah, I like GHS... Top ten, you do the math. Who fucking cares anyway... Lists and ratings, that's for people who listen to music but don't hear it. Starfucker is on GHS... What's not to like?
