that's a hell of a 45 imo

Each side has a reprise of the other side

they really were butt ugly though.

who, the Stones, or the 45s?

xp

Love the Mellotron on "Jig-Saw Puzzle"

the Stones!

the hell you say

Brian scares me, I've never understood why anyone found him the least bit attractive. Bill is def creepy.

But Mick, Keef and Charlie all have a certain handsomeness to me. Especially in their young years.

young mick is like a notch below elvis pretty

Mick got better looking in the late seventies -- dunno if anyone agrees.

Bill Wyman's face looks like poached salmon.

and I don't AT ALL get Brian Jones' charisma.

49. Start Me Up

oh dammit

49. Start Me Up - 199 points (11 votes)

xxpost Alfred I feel you on 70's Mick...I might be inclined to agree. There is nothing about Bill Wyman that I like. I just find him to be a total knob. I even hate it when I notice a good bassline and think wow that's cool and then immediately after I'm like, ugh Wyman

"Dandelion" was first of mine to place! Made a strong push with me for some reason, was off my ballot for a while then it jumped up a bunch.

ok in the "Start Me Up" I will admit Mick Jagger looks like the seamstress who used to hem my pants twelve years.

*ago

the "start me up" video is must-watch

Never need to hear "Start Me Up" again

turn the sound off. watch the video.

hoo-ray for "back street girl"! so lovely and nasty and sad. was my #6 and my 2nd to show up (after "angie"). i like the girl songs, i guess.

"start me up" is p great, but agree w grandavis. the world is too much with it.

Woo! Undercover Of The Night made it! I reckon that's probably it for my ballot though :(

btw if i've learned one thing over the past couple weeks of exploration that i wasn't expecting, it's that Mick Jagger can't dance, could never dance, should never dance, and for 50 years now has insisted on dancing at every opportunity. what the hell.

was as over 'start me up' as everyone else and then st sanders revived it - http://bit.ly/HeC2Li

"Jig-Saw" was my #2. "With a blood-curdling 'tally-ho,' she charged into the ranks" is probably my favorite Jagger moment ever.

there's a line that can be drawn between Mick Jagger and Peter Garrett, I'm pretty sure.

HEY, WHAZZUP? MAKE UP!

CHARLIE, HELP!

Just going back over the results so far

Memo To Turner -- I was unfamiliar with it til now, and omg I really dig this.
Backstreet Girl -- I toyed with voting for this but I couldn't find a spot for it in my hard-fought 20. Such a pretty song though.
Jigsaw Puzzle -- this would SO get a place on a longer ballot. I love the lyrical hook of the chorus, I love the lyrics, it's just such a good jam
Dandelion -- I would like this song so much more without the bloody harpischord or whatever the fuck that is. It's not a bad song otherwise, but I don't know that I exactly love it?

The opening gambit in the "Start Me Up" video truly is some next level horseshit. I mean, it's gold in a way, but has Jagger gone on record at all in respects to whether or not his dancing is tongue in cheek at all? But, I mean, between this and the "Dancing In The Streets" video with Bowie, are there enough drugs involved to really explain it, or is it just supremely shining stars needing a flaw to make them human?

Uh, too many "at all"s in there, sorry

I've been watching the Start Me Up video and I feel like Mick dances as though he's only paying attention to every 3rd move the choreographer gives him.

He just JERKS alive in random places, like he just got this new human body and he's trying it out. He's so weird.

englishman tries to pull off james brown and tina turner - you were expecting different results?

Wow, do you think there is a choreographer involved?

okay, now keep this in mind and go watch the early stuff. it's what he's always done. protip: not early stuff at all, but there's some next-level skipping in the "one hit" vid.

fincher showed his greatness early by keeping mick from dancing in "love is strong"

i'm trying to decide if i danced like that at a club if it would make me look cocksure and badass or if it would make me look insane or if it would be like every other time i dance at the club and it would just make me look old.

only heard 'memo to turner' v. recently and not overly familiar with jones-era stones -- checking it out

i thought about voting for undercover! (and one hit!) but didn't.

he always has had pretty good footwork, it's just the rest of his body is so completely out of control I think

oh yeah and Undercover...I don't dig it really at all.

mick don't care if you think he looks foolish

so it kind of works

the influence of drugs on Jagger's decision is way overstated

*decisions

yeah if anything drugs would help, lol

dude was with the exception of Watts by far the most sober person in the band. Ahmet Ertegun's memoir has a couple of anecdotes depicting Jagger acting hammered for the purpose of extracting info from sources.

yeah Mick seems too much like he's working very hard to BE a certain way, that getting fucked up on drugs/alcholol would to him put that in jeopardy somehow. I think we'd know a very different Mick if he had had substance problems of any note.
