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

i know a guy who occasionally pulls airplay info from a database for me

i feel like i've heard 'mother's little helper' an awful lot lately considering how little classic rock radio i listen to -- weird

Really? I just keep hearing Guns n Roses songs...

p. sure you mean chili peppers

izzat to me?

Heh, just noticed Goat's Head Soup missing out entirely - that's some consensus, ilm.

wouldn't you rather listen to Voodoo Lounge?

who do? you do! remind me of the lounge

think I cut Out of Time in the end but hs me woulda put it really high, I mean the version on the London Years: such a cheery dis

yay Staples

Mother's Little Helper boldly showing low

more bands should steal the "The Last Time" riff

omitting these two from my ballot was painful

will It's All Over Now be the highest placing cover? Not Fade Away, maybe? Love In Vain? surely not Shake Your Hips?

Not Fade Away will be there--the others, nah

There's some weird effect on the bass right after the chorus in "Mother's Little Helper" that's I've never read an explanation of -- sounds like it's being doubles by an electronic organ or some early synth thing. Anybody know the story there?

i hope Not Fade Away and Ain't Too Proud and Just My Imagination place but i only voted for originals

i think it would be crazy for 'time is on my side' to place over 'mother little helper' but it could happen

esp if any heinz ppl voted

55. Shine a Light - 166 points (9 votes)

only voted one Exile track but if I'd voted two, that'd been it.

GREAT pic

btw my pilgrimage to the Exile villa last summer was fab

Fabulous photo. Beautiful song and pristine solo.

Wait, you can go there? Inside?

x...p forgot about time is on my side. yeah, that could happen

pristine solo

OTM and TOO LOW >:[

if i'd known you people were going to overlook this one i would have voted for it myself ;_;

considered a lot of exile, but not "shine a light". not to say i don't love it, just that i love a bunch of others so much more.

Real problem with this poll, so many good songs, stuff just had to go ... probably going to be a common theme

Exile was my number 2 album and I didn't vote for a single song off of it -- it's an album that I can't break into its constituent parts that easily.

I wasn't invited into the villa, no, just stood outside its gates & enjoyed the odor of money

Yup, not sure I can think of another album that is so obviously most perfect whole.

don't hate me, but while i lovvvvve the slow beginning of shine a light, i'm not crazy about it when it gets a-rockin'.

never liked "mother's little helper", the combination of condescension and (what strikes me as feigned) sympathy sticks in my craw. reminds me of the ballot thread conversation about "salt of the earth". this is something jagger does frequently, especially when addressing women.

MLH = Stones doing the Kinks

xxpost no hatin' here. i love both tbh but totally get that.

54. Undercover (Of The Night) - 167 points (8 votes)

I booted Shine a Light in favor of another track from Exile...but goddamn it hurt me to do it. Piano on that kinda gets me.

love the background singers going 'yeah, you . . . ' on it

when I was in college I was morbidly obsessed by songs that I would have people play at my funeral
this one topped my list pretty regularly, lol

'this one' - shine a light, not undercover, lol

'Well I'm telling you they never got it right / Until they put out Undercover of the Night'
In Praise of The Genius That Was The Videos for The Rolling Stones Undercover LP

I'll admit I didn't really give Undercover a fair shake when I was making out my ballot, and probably still wouldn't have voted for Undercover of the Night, but that's a pretty nice track.

desparOOOOOOOOOOs

i didn't vote for it either cuz i'll be goddamned i'm gonna have as much from undercover as i do from sticky fingers but it's still pretty great. one of their last attempts at 'contemporizing' their sound that worked.

didn't make my ballot Ry's slide on "memo" is just wicked

BUT Ry's slide
