awwwwww yeah

HORNS!!!
MOAR HORNS!!!
GIVE ME ALL THE HORNS!!

as I said in the last thread, "Bitch" is all about the rhythm/tempo change

also horns

i know what i am saying and i will stand by that.

you don't know what you're saying, and i won't stand for it. but whatevs.

"bitch" is a jam and half.

you don't know what YOU'RE saying triple stamped can't take it back

la la i can't hear you because ov this JAM SANDWICH i am having

not to get too TMZ itt but it kinda boggles my mind that Jagger had 4 wives in something like 30 years 1970-1999). And SEVEN children.

brian fathered six kids before dying at 27.

On 23 October 1961, Jones's girlfriend Pat Andrews gave birth to his third child, Julian Mark Andrews. Jones sold his record collection to buy flowers for Pat and clothes for the newborn and lived with them for a while. On 23 July 1964, another woman, Linda Lawrence, gave birth to Jones's fourth child, also named Julian Mark

Apropos of all this "TMZ" stuff, Bill Wyman's Stone Alone is an excellent book--the guy apparently kept insanely detailed notes of everything that happened and it shows. For real Stones nerds only though

29. Get Off of My Cloud – 324 points (13 votes)

didn't vote for "Bitch" but my for it and "Doo Doo Doo Doo" makes me think i should try and make a playlist of Stones tracks w/ horns

I vaguely remember reading Stone Alone -- my main memory is that Wyman's the one who should have 83 kids all over the globe.

I voted Let It Bleed super high, just such a great love song where love is for your friends & family too, & sex makes us lovers in that way too, & drugs too: we can be together. like that's the 60s dream to me: let us be lovers as a means to come together, & bleed together

I thought people hated Get Off My Cloud

I adore it -- more than "Satisfaction." THIS is what I want from early Stones: it's dangerous and sexy.

and the lyrics are a muddle, of course.

sometimes i LOVE it - such a racket! sometimes it sounds slight. more often i lean to the former but i did leave it off my ballot. never prefer it to 'satisfaction' though - you can make all the racket you want, 'satisfaction' has that riff and that orbison beat.

get off my cloud WAY too low (but great to see it anyway)! such an awesome kiss-off song, something the stones did better than just about anyone, ever.

with "paint it black" and "satisfaction" one of three early classics that i felt i couldn't deny. should have saved space for "play with fire" though.

I love the beat on Get Off of My Cloud, very of its time but it's a sock hop tune with malice

popular entry on 'get off of my cloud' - http://freakytrigger.co.uk/popular/2005/04/ken-dodd-tears/

This was one of the few "classics" I voted for.

Loving Cup is far too low. The bridge is quite possibly my favorite bit of music, ever.

so true, korn-and yes, that is one insanely great bridge

love that hammering on the drums in Get Off My Cloud, doo doo, doo-doo, doo doo BADABADABADABADA

speaking of drums, let's not ignore the drums in "bitch" just bc the horns are loud. the turnaround is tiiiight.

Alfred otm; cloud >>> satisfaction. You could say this was the last song I cut from my ballot intentionally...

28. Sweet Virginia – 326 points (15 votes)

hell yeah

my #2.....TOO LOW! Should've gone all the way. Fuck the canon.

My fave hometown street musician's 2 AM weekend special: conjures up bitterly cold damp nights in front of the library and a random crowd of variously disheveled souls passing by, stopping, joining in--THE great Stones chorus for drunkenly passionate wailing....

Another of my votes! This song is so rad!

my #3

Mick's harmonica is a thing of beauty...the muddy vocals, the handclaps, the languid guitar, the way it turns into an awesome raucous singalong...this is my idea of a perfect Stones song. Just hanging out playing the music they were born to play.

A friend of mine told me once that this song reminds him of me and it was about the biggest compliment anyone's ever paid me. (Though I didn't think too hard about WHY it reminded him of me, lol)

I saw a live clip from '94 in which Jagger's harmonica part was as piercing as ever.

27. She’s A Rainbow – 344 points (16 votes)

loving all these 7" picture sleeves

you would

hell yeah "sweet virginia"! that's some singalong country stones i can hang with. wanna say "too low" or some such, but i had it too low on my ballot, so i can't complain. "got to scrape that shit right off your shoes" kills me every time.

She's a Rainbow! Another one of mine!

otoh, have never liked "she's a rainbow". too treacly by half.

(lol, sorry llb)

I'm not a fan of she's a rainbow either

when i was like 9 i loved this record and this song so much. so joyful!

Even though I voted Sweet Virginia as my #3, Torn and Frayed is my abiding personal favorite on Exile...when I heard Exile for the first time it was the first song that really hit me hard, and I think it was that song that really, truly made me fall in love with these guys.

I couldn't put it on my ballot because it felt too personal, I felt weird even ranking it...but I'm so glad it's got love here because it's a fucking great song.

Just as long as the guitar plays...

<3 that photo Rog, you're doing a bangup job here

Wow, I had no idea She's A Rainbow was so popular. I never thought it would be here, although I like it a lot (though it didn't make my ballot)

wow, sort of boggled that you'd love a song so much you couldn't vote for it, VG, but if you had to pick one to feel so strongly about, "torn & frayed" ain't a bad way to go...

yeah it sounds kind dumb when I say it out loud but I sort of separated it out and thought, well just because it's my FAVORITE song doesn't mean it's the BEST song. And I tried to have a good reason for putting each song in my ballot and "I just fucking love this song" didn't carry enough water, lol

lol, it oughtta carry a lot of water, imo, but i guess i understand. you have to be careful with the things you love.
