At some point "Black and Blue" needs to be discussed,
it does not receive near enough attention and shirley feels left out.

You try too hard to get banned. BV won't even take you seriously if you try that hard.

Black and Blue has a problem in that it only has 8 tracks.
Maybe we could have it compete against one of the two double albums within Voodoo Lounge, Bridges or ABB?

I wonder why you answer to almost all my posts except those which are music-related?

OK...here goes...for the title:
Goat's Head Soup VS It's Only Rock and Roll - track by track
Dancing with Mr. D vs. If You Can't Rock Me ...winner by a KO - If You Can't Rock Me...not even close.
100 Years Ago vs. Ain't Too Proud To Beg ...winner by a country mile - Ain't Too Proud To Beg...it's a cover, but it's better than the original.
Coming Down Again vs. IORR ...ok, I acknowledge CDA's greatness, but this is the ALBUM version of IORR!...ok ok, I'll give this on points, Coming Down Again. Much as I love CDA, it's a downer.
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo vs. Til The Next Time....winner on points, but as close as the last match...Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo.
We're all tied leading to the last track on side one...
Angie vs. Time Waits For No One ... KO...so easy, TWFNO
OK...IORR in the lead coming up on side two...
Silver Train vs. Luxury...much as I hate Silver Train, we'll go with a TKO because of Mick's faux accent on Luxury
OK, we're tied again
Hide Your Love vs. Dance Little Sister ...two B cuts...Dance Little Sister because it has energy.
Winter vs. If You Really Want To Be My Friend...Damn, I prefer IYRWTBMF, but I'm realistic, and we're all tied up.
Can You Hear The Music vs. Short & Curlies .... I almost don't want to give this one a winner because I so passionately hate both songs. At least we're being fair and battle the worst songs on each album...OK, I have to go for the energy hear, and at least Short & Curlies has a sense of humour. If I want to listen to Moonlight Mile I'll listen to it...not a lame wannabe.
OK, IORR in the lead with one song to go...this is much closer than I'd thought...
Star Star vs. Fingerprint File...this is very tight. Star Star is pretty one-dimensional though, and Fingerprint File is all funky and has Mick doing some pretty uncomfortable vocalizations towards the end...he should be noted for that.
CONCLUSION, IORR over GHS 6 to 4.
Sorry, but we've at least avoided being subjective about this.

Okay Treacles, I'll play along. It's Mother's Day and to celebrate, I'm being a lazy ass today.
Agree, IYCRM
100 Years ago. A great Stones song, nuff said.
IORR - yes, CMA is too much of a downer, as much as I love it.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doooooooooo.....
Angie, you're all a bunch of snobs...this is a great Mick ballad.
Luxury - Like he hasn't done fax accents before? If you want Silver Train, go with Winter's version
This one really is a tie, but I have to go with Hide your Love, the two Mick's got it going on this one.
Winter all the way.
CYHTM - no MM imitation, just far out on it's own.
Star Star - great rollicking rockin romp through Chuck Berry land
You can do the counting, I'm too lazy.

And what do your personal ratings prove?

Personally for me, in my opinion,
what I would say, how I feel about this is...
It is all about colors/smells and time/space and women and feels...
and how these songs make me feel and remember and how they take me
back to when I first met the songs... so it is less about how good of
a song they may be technically or how good/bad they are production wise
and more how they make me feel every time I hear them.
So without boring you with exactly who/why//when...

Dang right they are...
and do not allow anyone to ever claim or convince you other wise.**
**Which basically means-
ignore people who are stuck, there is no fixing them, and no hope
of ever explaining to them why these are damn fine Stones albums too.

Once some people explained me why I should "Open my heart and let Jesus come in..."
and I guess that is the same thing here
...
let's be honest my life is better without Jesus and A Bigger Bang
