NankstoneThat's halfway simple ...Quote

Okay, so is anyone going to calculate an average list?
1. I've count only the clear ten album voters and vote's with a clear ranking
2. best album = 10 points ... last album per membercount = 1 point
3. "Stripped" is not included (no studio album)
If there is no mistake by me - thats the final result by 37 voters :
01. Tattoo You --------- 349
02. Undercover --------- 258
03. Hackney Diamonds -- 243
04. Emotional Rescue --- 229
05. Steel Wheels ------- 205
06. Voodoo Lounge ---- 202
07. Bridges To Babylon - 197
08. Blue & Lonesome --- 173
09. A Bigger Bang ------ 139
10. Dirty Work --------- 102
Even if I buy the CD, I got used to spotify, so I play it in spotify. The issue is that I don't have anymore this passion to listen to one single album over and over again.Quote

would be a bit unfair because my listening habits changed over the years. I used to buy a CD and play it many times. Not anymore.
So what do you do now? CDs never disappeared.
You don't buy CDs anymore it reads.
Are you saying, without saying it, that your listening habits have changed? You now stream a record for many times?
That's all that's left other than vinyl. How you listen to a record, regardless of format, has changed.

OK, after the last votes I updated again.
mailexile67's voting could not be taken into account because it only contains 9 albums ...
Here is the final result after 40 votes:
01. Tattoo You --------- 377
02. Undercover --------- 276
03. Hackney Diamonds -- 264
04. Emotional Rescue --- 248
05. Steel Wheels -------- 221
06. Bridges To Babylon -- 220
07. Voodoo Lounge ----- 218
08. Blue & Lonesome ---- 185
09. A Bigger Bang ------- 145
10. Dirty Work ---------- 107
very, very close between Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge and Bridges

1 - Tattoo You (5) - No Use In Crying.
2 - Hackney Diamonds (4.5) - Sweet Sounds Of Heaven.
3 - Bridges To Babylon (4) - Out Of Control.
4 - Steel Wheels (3.5) - Almost Hear You Sigh.
5 - Voodoo Lounge (3.5) - I Go Wild.
6 - Undercover (3.5) - Undercover Of The Night.
7 - Blue & Lonesome (3) - Blue & Lonesome.
8 - Emotional Rescue (2) - Dance pt. 1.
9 - Dirty Work (2) - One Hit.
Finishing the list and I realize I forgot A Bigger Bang. It would go in between Undercover and Blue & Lonesome. 3 stars and the best track is Back Of My Hand.

Forgive me for revisiting this thread but do you still rank HD so highly? I only ask because 20 years ago when you were similarly asked to rank the best Stones records from 1978 to 2005 you gave A Bigger Bang five stars! But here we are some twenty years later and you can hardly remember the album exists. Do you have anything to say for yourself? Are you ashamed?
I apologize if it seems I'm singling you out but there are very few IORRers from twenty years ago still posting/breathing. But it may interest you and others to know that in that 2006 poll 54 people had ABB in their top 4 (and many even higher) while only 12 people recognized it for the big booger that it is. And yet in this more recent poll, ABB is treated like pond scum by the vast majority of posters.
Am I saying that in the future HD will be similarly trashed? You're damn right I am!

Why would I have to defend myself? Laughable.
I have no idea why I forgot it, but you can go back and see more of my posts where I state that ABB, as many other albums, suffer from length.
I still hold HD very high, but it will change at some point. I still like ABB very much, but it should have been shorter.

ER 4th? Interesting. Can someone explain by which parameters ER is better than SW, BtB or VL? I think in each of these 3 are greater songs than in ER, and the albums as a whole, well, no one of them is consistent in quality.
I see for example in [ultimateclassicrock.com] that this ranking supports IORRers having ER before others, but for me ER is among the weakests.

I’m not asking you to defend yourself. I’m giving you an opportunity to admit that a new Stones record makes you (and the majority of fans) so deliriously happy and hopeful that you are incapable of rational judgement.
...
Of course nobody needs my stinking approval. Please yourselves. I smile benignly at the many 4 and 5 star ratings for HD. I merely point out that there is strong evidence to suggest that the dolphins are affecting your judgement again. I figure you have a right to know.

I’m giving you an opportunity to admit that a new Stones record makes you (and the majority of fans) so deliriously happy and hopeful that you are incapable of rational judgement. That’s why over 80% of posters raved about ABB in the 2006 poll while posters today readily admit that it’s ‘awfully bad.’ With respect, I think it’s fair to say that you (and countless others) were deluded back in 2006. The scientists say it’s a result of tiny dolphins racing through your bloodstream. Not your fault, really. (But you may wanna ask yourself if you’re deluded this time too.)
Oh look, we have a new response from ColdFandango. ABB claims its usual place near the bottom (check), TY on top (that’s an unassailable choice), and HD in the middle (hmmm, history up to its old tricks again but all things considered ColdF shows admirable restraint). My rankings are completely different but this is a list that does not turn my face a whiter shade of pale. Bravo!

I love seeing Dirty Work on the bottom. It’s the only Stones album loved by non Stones fans. That says something.

DW is a hell of a album anyway
Fight, Winning Ugly and the title track are Ten outta ten for me and Sleep Tonight along with Stu's Key To The Highway are just heart- breaking
Brilliant

Initial praise is something that fades away, while albums fall into historical context over time. And that should be ok.

Yeah really, trolling someone because their taste has changed? And honestly, putting in the research to see what someone said 20 years ago seems (politely) a little intense.

If you were ‘polite’ you’d be thanking me – I’ve given your thread a new set of wings.
But it’s fascinating (to me at least) how your thread and the 2006 thread mirror each other so perfectly. Don’t you find my research interesting? Or is the fact that human beings are so drearily predictable too depressing to think about? At any rate, I’m not trolling Jumping Kent. He’s just another Rolling Stones fan like you and me. I'm focusing on trends.
Tell me - when Bridges to Babylon came out, did you give it 5 stars? 4?
