otm

A "minor" track that offers almost everything that makes this band and the jagger/richards marriage great: nasty, funny, knowing, and rocks balls.

me re "Summer Romance" and "Crazy Mama."

woah woah woah woah WOAH - contenderizer i know you did not just dis 'dead flowers' in passing up there did you

i kind of did, but that one pulls it off, imo

i was like 'what's the corny country track on sticky fingers - wild horses?? HOLY SHIT I THINK HE MEANS DEAD FLOWERS'

A "minor" track that offers almost everything that makes this band and the jagger/richards marriage great: nasty, funny, knowing, and rocks balls.

this is pretty much why i love exile best

yep, cosign that

there are 4 stones songs you should 'take seriously'

You might have to add Blinded By Rainbows to that list.

tbh every photo should just be a pic of charlie

The repetitiveness of this kind of drives me round the twist, but I don't hate it.

Grandma on the park bench checking out Charlie's bum imo

Keef wondering if he should just kick Brian in the pond

poll says YES

nice song! kind of slight, but very nice.

Rushmore and "I Am Waiting" on the same day (poll-wise). My #2.

she's my rushmore max

http://youtu.be/WCKKSeNWkJQ

She was mine too.

think I Am Waiting was my #2. stillness & then a burst, YOU'LL FIND OUT

There was no way I Am Waiting was not going to chart on an ILM Stones poll.

Don't mean to hyperbolize, but I think that sequence is among the most beautiful two minutes of film ever--seriously. The shot of Margaret Yang at the window, Max and his dad watching TV (Max watching TV, his dad watching Max), just perfect. And at least half the credit goes to the song.

not gonna lie, wes anderson did play a role in a different stones song being on my ballot

never seen the movie, know nothing about it, maybe I should?

mainly memorable for olivia williams imo

stillness & then a burst

yep -- and both parts are good

It's worth seeing once, if only for Bill Murray :)

yay, the doo dooo doo song!

why didn't they just call it heartbreaker?

(don't say zep)

Mr. D was the flip? Wow.xpost

From the sublime to...the doo dooo doo song!

now this song otoh i have NAILED at karaoke

damn "Heartkbreaker" shoulda been way higher imo

like every little piece of that song is perfect to me

clem can render the definitive judgment on this probably but the hits from goats head soup have always seemed to capture that 70s AM gold vibe in a way that other stones hits from the 70s don't really - 'angie' could be some terry jacks thing, the solo always makes me think of 'jackie blue'.

solo in 'heartbreaker' rather

omg I've been trying to think what it sounds like. Balls otm!!

That seems pretty accurate in that they capture the junkiness of '73 radio perfectly. I wouldn't doubt that "Heartbreaker" even made it onto a K-Tel collection somewhere.

not slick enough for AM gold, but definitely in the right vein.

yeah i was thinking earlier when people were talking about angie being #1 but not really being one of the tunes you hear constantly on classic rock radio that the reason was it is too AM top 40 soft, same reason you don't hear "miracles" by jefferson airplane

i've seen Rushmore at least once and don't recall that scene with the stones song

oops jefferson starship

airplane, starship, wheelchair, who can keep track honestly

(personally I only acknowledge Airplane but that's just me)

"Tumbling Dice" exists in some corner of my mind next to Al Green, the Spinners, the best singer-songwriter hits, and all my favourite music from my favourite year. "Angie" (which I basically like fine) belongs to some bizarre free-for-all with the likes of Vickie Lawrence, Skylark, and "Dueling Banjos." I'm being selective in my memory there, but that's really the difference that that one year makes for me.

one thing that's weird is looking at old wabc charts and seeing (eg. http://www.musicradio77.com/Surveys/1972/surveyjul2572.html) 'happy' popping up amongst 'candy man' and the partridge family covering neil sedaka, etc.
