I definitely prefer Back to Basics, though Stripped is also excellent.

Stripped >>>>>>>>>>>>

Xtina did the damned thing for 2002-2004.

It's a shame she didn't capitalise on that by 2004 or 2005 though.

Stripped will always be my favourite X record, I also love the variety in visuals she served that era

Stripped has her best song Get Mine, Get Yours so Stripped of course

2 of her best works ever

I think in terms of music, by a hair its stripped but visually I ADORE B2B

Her two best albums for sure. Xtina's artistry during these eras is so underrated. I'll go with Stripped.

Stripped. B2b has too much filler.

b2b is superior in everything

Stripped

Stripped was one of the best pop girl eras ever.

Period.

I love the theme and the consistent visuals of B2B so much more.

While the music itself is good, it feels like the whole concept of Stripped is just to break Christina's blonde girl image from the debut.

STRIPPED, but

Christina Aguilera really was a Jazz Era™ Chanteuse with Back To Basics

I am genuinely impressed with her ability to bring big band music to pop radio. That era was very, very clever and worth stanning.

If B2B cut like 5 songs it would be up there with Stripped but unfortunately the filter kills the vibe.

Bionic has this same issue. If all her albums stopped at 15 of the strongest tracks she would be unstoppable.

B2B for all.

I have never listened to Stripped as a full album before.

Album: Stripped (if you ignore some of the random screaming i.e. Cruz)

Videos: Stripped

Single Covers: Back to Basics

Stripped is a pop bible and i prefer it as an album but B2B is literally flawless visually.

Xtina should really do a Back To Basics Vol. 2 (or 3 because it was a double album)

Back to Basics

Back to Basics is excellent.

I voted Back To Basics but it is pretty close. Back To Basics is a cleverly done concept album. It fuses genres of a time period and the video's and album shoot completely tie it all together.

Stripped is perfection, but just like the songs go different places, the visuals do as well. It's raw, it's different and every new single had something different to offer visually. But it is also one of those albums that I need to be in the mood for. I built memories to certain songs that take me back to things I don't always want to think about. Other songs just lift me up. So I don't always listen to the full body of work.

While Back To Basics, even just sonically/soundwise work for me wherever I am and can also just be in the background, just enjoying the musicality itself.

It was an amazing time back then. Stripped was my coming out album. X helped me a lot with those songs. The concept was perfect.

Back To Basics was a fun album and she was special with that concept. I loved the music videos, the tour and all the imagines. She was one of the most talented artists.
