Voodoo Lounge!!!!!
IMHO the quality of most of the songs and the musicianship on this record makes it the best since 81'. apart from Suck On The Jugular which is awful.
Mick and Keith were working closely on this one, unlike any effort since. |

I think the best song of that era is "She Was Hot". I always did like that song. I wish I could have seen it live this fall. |

Not that I had a modicum of respect for you anyway but now I've lost the smidgen I had. I like a few songs from VL (Mean Disposition, the 2 Keefs, LIS) but overall. it's shite. I think it's the worst post-TY release. |

VL is by far their best post 1981 album, Dirty Work is their last authentic album. |

I am glad I didn't have to be the first one to say it. Very over-rated among Stones fans. It has a few standout tracks but is mostly a generic paint by numbers release. I liked it a lot the day it came out but a week later I wasn't even listening to it and still can't listen to it all the way through. The playing is okay, but most of the lyrics are unbelievably lame.
To me, it's a throwaway release as an excuse to tour because Mick still wasn't comfortable with a straight up nostalgia tour.
Also I think 1991-1994 are the best years for music ever, so not only does Voodoo Lounge not stack up well against previous Stones releases, many of which were re-issued at the same time, it doesn't match up well when stacked up against what many current bands were also releasing at that time. It also sounds really dated now. |

Best post TY release is Undercover. Sure about half the songs are lame but half the songs are as good as anything they have ever done. |

VL is OK (i like about half of it) and B2B has about 4 good tracks.
After some thought, I gotta go with ABB. It's got some good stuff, and I can make it all the way thru.

All of the songs on Voodoo Lounge would have been great fillers, but few tracks really stand out. B2B flows better and has some really great stand-out tracks. ABB has too many fillers as well, but there are great ones in there. |

We must be listening to different versions of Tattoo You! The guitar sound on that album is excellent IMO.

Best post Tattoo You release???? (TY, by the way, gets better and better with age- the last truly great STONES album imo)
ABB |

Maybe Voodoo for muscianship. It is more epic than ABB.
However, For straight ahead "no Frills" Stones we may have to go with ABB over everything since Tatoo You.

A Bigger Bang no doubt. The rest is all weak with exception of a few scattered great songs like Continental Drift. |

I'm very partial to Bridges To Babylon. I still listen to it on a regular basis, and I can make it all the way through without skipping songs. Wish I could say that about ABB, although lately I've been appreciating it more and more. Took some time, but it's finally growing on me. |

I've always liked all of it with the exception of VL. BTB had me from the start as did ABB but I haven't listened to any of them lately. |

Also, it seems how much someone likes VL is inversely proportional to amount of discs bought since Flashpoint was released. |

I mean any other music between Flashpoint and VL. Seems people who only listen to the Stones see VL as the second coming. |
