MY OTHER TWO ALBUM CHARTS

- TOP TEN ALBUMS -

List One

Why two alternative album lists? Well, for the first list, I've taken only the nine top songs from each album, since in the old days of rock, nine songs was around the normal amount of tunes found on rock albums. So after having to explain over and over why I feel an LP like Exile would have been better if a bunch of the filler songs were left off of it (less is more), and if I was to only rate the top 9 songs per album, Exile would be rated much higher on my scale, as would all of the albums that have more than nine songs on them. So in this simple way of evening out the score, here is my top ten album list rating when only the top nine songs are counted. You can look at the other omitted songs as just bonus material when rating in this matter.

#	ALBUM	RATING	FULL	+
		TOP 9	RATING
1	STICKY FINGERS	9.72	9.72	-
2	LET IT BLEED	9.50	9.50	-
3	SOME GIRLS	9.42	9.14	.28
4	ENGLAND'S NEWEST HIT MAKERS	9.32	8.08	1.24
4	BEGGARS BANQUET	9.32	9.18	.14
6	A BIGGER BANG	9.26	8.79	.47
7	EXILE ON MAINSTREET	8.93	7.52	1.41
8	GOAT'S HEAD SOUP	8.65	8.43	.22
9	VOODOO LOUNGE	8.48	7.10	1.38
10	BETWEEN THE BUTTONS	8.04	7.71	.33

List Two

For this second list, when rating an album and going by your true love of the album only (versus listening on a song by song basics, just for the purpose of rating each individual song), you will rate the album, higher. There's no examining each song, just how you feel about them as a whole and when rating in our poll this is the best approach to use. So for me here is this second alliterative top ten list.

#	ALBUM	RATING

1	LET IT BLEED	10.0
1	BEGGARS BANQUET	10.0
1	GOATS HEAD SOUP	10.0
1	STICKY FINGERS	10.0
1	A BIGGER BANG	10.0
6	SOME GIRLS	9.5
7	IT'S ONLY ROCK N ROLL	9.1
8	ENGLAND'S NEWEST HIT MAKERS	9.0
9	BETWEEN THE BUTTONS	8.5
9	AFTERMATH	8.5
