I missed 'overplayed' but that puts their worst in the same list as their best...

yeah, feh on a "worst" list. i am in it for the love.

i editorialized a bit with the "overplayed" but it's really the only way to explain this ;-)

5. You Can't Always Get What You Want - 12 points (4 votes, two #1 votes)

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 2 April 2012 07:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

"overplayed" is the worst excuse to dislike a song. Change the station, get new friends, grow the fuck up.

― Three Word Username, Monday, 2 April 2012 07:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

i cut "you can't always get what you want" from my ballot cuz it's overplayed (and crazy long besides), but calling it one of their worst songs seems the sad kind of insane

― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Monday, 2 April 2012 07:31 (1 year ago) Permalink

4/3 - 2 way tie for third place
Far Away Eyes - 12 points (4 votes, one #1 vote)
Harlem Shuffle - 12 points (4 votes, one #1 vote)

far away eyes is awesome fuk u guys

― JoeStork, Monday, 2 April 2012 07:37 (1 year ago) Permalink

...ah, that's more like it. Voted for "Shuffle", but understand "Eyes". Cartoony Stones not lovable after 1968.

― Three Word Username, Monday, 2 April 2012 07:38 (1 year ago) Permalink

I voted You Can't Always Get What You Want because:

• too long
• the line he said one word to me, and that was "dead" is ur clunky
• Ride copied the arrangement on one of their dud singles and exposed it as unbearably feeble

My 'worst' ballot was one track and it wasn't any of these but I can get behind hating 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', it's kind of cloying and horrible. 'Far Away Eyes' is the worst thing on Some Girls but it isn't terrible, just throwaway.

― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 2 April 2012 09:50 (1 year ago) Permalink

far away eyes is essential, wtf is wrong with you people

― thomp, Monday, 2 April 2012 09:52 (1 year ago) Permalink

(i don't know: it's certainly grating, on occasion, but jagger's urge to occasionally prove he's Too Smart For This Shit is key to the band, i think) (and 'some girls' is a big fat mess w/ no cohesion, so the gearshift is less of a problem than it would be in another record) (the expanded edition is awesome mind)

― thomp, Monday, 2 April 2012 09:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

I didn't bother with a worst tracks because I have yet to explore the post-Tattoo You six in all their glory, but I'm glad to see "Far Away Eyes" on it.

― da croupier, Monday, 2 April 2012 10:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

It was cruel of Roger to leave us on this cliffhanger.

Shouldve made a worst ballot; everything except Faraway Eyes wouldve made ir

― the guy was ugly human (loves laboured breathing), Monday, 2 April 2012 11:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

I've never thought of "Faraway Eyes" as overplayed. I doubt that I've heard it on the radio once in the past 10 or 15 years.

― clemenza, Monday, 2 April 2012 11:33 (1 year ago) Permalink

I love all of these songs (the original Harlem Shuffle is one of the best songs ever!)

i had a hard time thinking of songs for my 'most hated' ballot, ended up just challopping and putting 3 non-"Tumbling Dice" songs from Exile on there because that album's gonna be overrated as fuck in this poll

― Eisbaerg Slim (some dude), Monday, 2 April 2012 12:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

I forgot to submit a most hated but eff you guys, Far Away Eyes is BOTH hilar & great!!!!.

Harlem Shuffle can eat a dick though.

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 2 April 2012 13:01 (1 year ago) Permalink

Charlie and Bill hold the beat real well though.

― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 2 April 2012 13:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

"Far Away Eyes" was my #1, such a stinker, with its awful spoken word opening, dumb vocals, & lazy lyric. Mick thinks the joke is on us but the joke is on him, & yes I have an opinion about that.

― Euler, Monday, 2 April 2012 13:21 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah I am proud to have put Far Away Eyes on this list of shame

― Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Monday, 2 April 2012 13:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'm glad I didn't submit a most hated ballot, because "Winning Ugly" would've been on it, and I've come around to digging that song. But "Rock and a Hard Place" can eat my poo. "Far Away Eyes" is kinda like the Flying Burrito Bros "Hippie Boy" to me; I don't out-and-out hate it, but I prefer the album without it.

I don't care for ^^^ it either but it's at worst inoffensive.

I was hoping the haters convention would be over by now and we'd be rolling out the positive votes. Gotta go home at this point though, so just wanted to say it's great that these results just happen to fall in the month of the Stones' 50th anniversary (if Wikipedia is correct).

Also, if you're at a loose end, check out this week's Project Moonbase podcast, which is marking the anniversary in its usual, tongue-in-cheek style:

he said in the first or second post itt that he's on jury duty so it would be kinda patchy.

but that makes it last longer :D

I really hate the way Wes Anderson uses classic rock in his movies. Scorcese, he's ok.

I liked how in the behind the scenes footage on the Rushmore dvd, you could hear his crew listening to the Faces between setups.

― Raymond Dubious Davies (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 April 2012 03:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

Anderson used up all his good music ideas on Bottle Rocket ("Alone Again Or") and Rushmore ("A Quick One, While He's Away"). Every other movie of his has been an exercise in awkward shoehorning.

Best use of music by Wes Anderson: the Charlie Brown Christmas song in Royal Tenenbaums (Alone Again Or and A Quick One are close runner-ups)

― THE SPACEMENT TAPES (loves laboured breathing), Thursday, 12 April 2012 04:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

1. "I Am Waiting," Rushmore
2. "Making Time," Rushmore
3. "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," The Royal Tennenbaums
4. "A Quick One While He's Away," Rushmore
5. "These Days," The Royal Tennenbaums

Probably forgetting something.

I really wish I'd thought more about voting for Monkey Man and Let It Bleed. Just because I would feel better about my ballot. And I wish I hadn't been so reluctant to show love for my favorite Exile tracks. I coulda/shoulda made Torn and Frayed my #1.

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 12 April 2012 21:15 (1 year ago) Permalink

Okay, so with amateurist's ballot plus everyone's thoughtful reconsideration itt clearly "Sway" is #2

"worried about" you timing adds up given that it's Wayne Perkins on the solo, who also plays on "hand of fate"
