MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

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:

Yeah, a shame this is moving so slow. :(

(No offense, roger. Dunno what your schedule's like.)

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

yeah i'm in no rush, especially since the comedy poll is still rolling out on ILE today and tomorrow. whenever you're ready we'll be here!

besides I think we still need time to put together our best horrible jagger outfits in preparation for the festivities.

anyone want to volunteer for this?

most horrible use of Jagger package

I'm wearing blue tights like those right now as a matter of fact.

I'm trying to find a good pic of the yellow spandex with knee pads. they're almost as good.

not quite what I was after, but still

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

Nilsson!

ahahahah

he looks like Teen Wolf's dad

aroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

what are the odds of Freejack placing in the comedy films poll?

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

Their best '70s albums. Fact.

I rank their American top forty hits during the sixties.

You're wrong about 'Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?', that's a great one IMO. I love how stuffed the production is, and the middle 8 ("Tell me a story about how you adore me" etc.) is one of their finest.

'As Tears Go By' also a beautiful tune. The Stones were always good at that kind of track.

Yeah, otm about the production of "have you seen your mother, baby" such a wonderful roaring din

I can support the production on "Have You Seen Your Mother..." over the awkward, too pretty Jagger vocal on "As Tears..."

I'll take the beautiful Jagger vocal on 'As Tears Go By' over his pisstakey vocal on 'Far Away Eyes' or when he lapses into comedy Jamaican accents.

"complicated!"

where is "complicated"?!

listen to those instrumental choruses, which are nods to Let's Spend the Night Together, punctuated by mick going "YEAH!" in a different spot each time through. what happened here? something terrible happened

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