Stones Fans Top Pick Lists - Page 2

Albums | Individual Stones | Movie/Docs/VideosMiscellaneous Stones’ Lists

All of these lists were complied from the results of polls which Rolling Stones fans have been voting on since 1999 at this site’s polling booths; including both Weekly Polls (which are all final results), and the current results from the On Going Polls. In some cases you will see Top Five Favorites, other times just the Top Pick for that week. To view the full, final results from each Weekly Poll, you can visit the Poll's Archive Page and then check out each week's poll archive - or, visit the Poll Menu to join us either in the current voting - or to check out the current results from any of the On-Going Polls. The date(s) in the parentheses next to each list shows on what day the poll was started on, and you can look up the full results by using that info.
