vs. In last week’s Stones’ poll the Bleed polls bled on when we asked: Let It Bleed vs It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll , which album do you like best? Let It Bleed once again finished on top by a very large margin with 85.9% to IORR’s 14.1%.
Remember that the final results from our ‘album vs album’ polls are listed at the Stones Fans Picks Page 2, where you can see how some of the other Stone’s LPs that we have voted on stacked up against each other.
So now for week 528 of our Stones poll, it’s week 6 of the Bleed polls and we ask:
vs. 
Let It Bleed vs Goat’s Head Soup, which album do you like best? This will be the last week of the Bleed Polls and we have Goat’s Head Soup, released in 1972, taking on LIB. GHS is what most of us fans pick as the Stones most underrated LP (picked twice in two different polls that we conducted here 7 years apart). Perhaps the Boys most mellow LP, with only one real hard rocker on it (“Starfucker”), it contains the giant hit “Angie”, along with a few other classics.
To pick whichever album that you like the best, just click on this link: Stones Weekly Poll.
Now let’s head over to the Classic Rock poll.
For week 179 of this poll, we ask: What is your favorite song recorded by Aerosmith? Like the Stones, they are one of the longest surviving bands out there and unlike the Stones, to this day they still have all of their original members in place, even if some stories (see thread a bit below this one) are claiming that front man Steve Tyler is about to split (I don’t believe it). This band has had its ups and downs in the past, with drug addiction being a huge problem for their main players and for a very short while their guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, were replaced after they left the band. But that span of time didn’t last too long (Perry from ‘79 to ’84, Whitford ‘81 to ’84) and the original band got back together for good and became once again just as strong as they were in the beginning.
Thing about this band is they always been compared to The Stones, in part because a lot of their music sounds close, with both band’s roots in the Blues. Tyler and Perry have been looked at in the same kind of light as the Glimmer Twins have; they even have their own nickname (The Toxic Twins). There are some Stones fans that don’t dig them too much because of this, but overall, I’m not sure how anybody who loves the Stones cannot also at least like Aerosmith a bit.
This band has a lot of songs released and we will have 50 songs listed in this week’s poll. Which one will be your choice for the best of the bunch? Just click on this link: Classic Rock Poll, to make your pick. If I didn’t list your favorite song in that list, please let me know before Tuesday and I’ll add it in for you.
Now let’s look at the final results from last week’s Rock poll
The question was: What is your favorite song recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival? Something that usually don’t happen in our final poll picks to often is a top ten list with just 10 songs in it. We often seem to have at least two songs tie somewhere in there, but not for this week. In what was a surprise to me, the top song chosen by fans was “Fortunate Son”, which came out on top with 8% of the vote. This “slap in the face to the rich” song, was written mainly about rich boy David Eisenhower, the grandson of former President Dwight David Eisenhower and who married Julie Nixon, the daughter of then President Richard Nixon while her father was in the White House. Around the same time, Eisenhower got out of being drafted and in turn got out of being sent to Viet Nam to fight in that insane war, a war that he otherwise supported. He got off the hook because of his family’s ties and status. Most of us Baby Boomers were outraged that this was the normal thing in DC politics; rich kids didn’t ever get drafted; only poorer boys did. So John Fogerty (who did get drafted in the mid 60s) wrote this song about the injustice that he saw in this. An excellent song indeed!
Remember, you can check out the final tallies for all of the songs listed in last week’s poll at the Rock Poll Archive page. Or you can check out the poll’s top ten finish only at the brand new Top Ten lists, page 5 over at the Classic Rock site.
Thanks again to all of you who take part in both of our weekly polls!
