almost hear you sigh

I'm getting the Janice-from-Sopranos Stones-boob-tatt especially for the poll results, fyi

You should get that tattoo'ed over your actual mouth

YOU SHOULD

When is RogerMexico supposed to roll out the results? (No pressure! He was a mensch for stepping in on short notice and I know he's got jury duty)

WHEN HE'S GOOD AND READY

:)

no idea

but like I said, plenty of time to work on your results ensemble

ahahahah

he looks like Teen Wolf's dad

what's happening on his feet

JAGGER'S FEET MUST NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND. HE WALKS ON PILLOWS.

"those were different times" #69: when they fillmed Freejack in Atlanta it was a big deal because it meant national exposure for the ATL, & maybe actual celebrity sightings!

Roger's probably agonising over sending some guy to the chair right now, I can't believe he's getting grief over these results.

fry him, post more results

otm

HANG THE SONOFABTICH, LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD, MEXICO

1. It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It) - 17 points (5 votes, three #1 votes)

Boo! Thought it'd be the ghastly Ruby Tuesday.

Surprised at that. It's got Kenney Jones on drums!

It's only rockn roll always sounded like a bored T-Rex song to me

I don't hate it as much as Ruby though

I like It's Only Rock'n'Roll though, especially the dirty scuzzy sounding line before the chorus. It sounds so flat though, the whole album, even though half the songs are good. I wonder how far it could be polished, properly remastered?

Why isn't Charlie on drums?

It's only rockn roll always sounded like a bored T-Rex song to me

specifically bang a gong, yes? this is the only "hate" vote i cast in anger. just always seemed perfunctory + pandering

and yes, i'm on break using courthouse wifi

the poor sucker doesn't stand a chance now

Reasonable choice--playing catch-up at that point.

xxpost: yes Bang A Gong, exactly. That alone gets a lot of ire from me, because they don't NEED to rip it off.

Hated poll is incorrect. Here is my number one, and it should have been yours too.

fyi we're also talking overplayed, as well as hated

Why isn't Charlie on drums?

Dunno, but the only then-Stones on it are Mick & Keith. Ronnie Wood plays guitar, Bowie sings backup, and Willie Weeks plays bass. Watts was always pretty easygoing about other drummers on Stones records, though. iirc, he said to Jimmy Miller something like, "I don't care, it sounds like me anyway" after Miller played on "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

but yeah Indian Girl is yeeeeeeeeeeeesh

Aside from just being kinda wtf, Indian Girl sounds so thin!

and it's like Spanish Harlem being overlaid with Far Away Eyes and something else I can't place, it's like PICK A STYLE jesus

comes off kinda condescending but given that it was released prior to The Clash's SANDINISTA it's surely an interesting choice for a major act

okay i won't lie i find the verses weak but the refrain quite powerful.

ROLLING STONES POLL RESULTS PART TWO: THE ALBUMS

• 42 ballots
• 23 albums receiving votes

23 albums! nice spread

"Indian Girl" is one of my least played ER songs but the lyrics only look condescending, and you cant separate them from Jagger's vocals. Plus, it boasts a great, mysterious bass part.

10. Flowers - 11 points (2 votes, one #1 vote)

Have any of y'all ever spent any time Dancing With Mr. D?

kornrulez with the tough questions. lotta stones songs worse than the bottom 6 finalists. then again, i would have cast a stone at "little red rooster", so what i know?

Flowers is the best, my #1 with a paisley bullet

glad that flowers is so beloved. not one of my top 5, but great and not well known among non-fans.

FLOWERS tracklist

1. Ruby Tuesday
2. Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?
3. Let's Spend the Night Together
4. Lady Jane
5. Out of Time
6. My Girl
7. Back Street Girl
8. Please Go Home
9. Mother's Little Helper
10. Take It or Leave It
11. Ride On, Baby
12. Sittin' on a Fence

and even better, those choruses are only 6 bars, so every time it launches into a new verse it seems urgent
