can't argue with that really. i mean, 'gimme shelter' isn't 'dead flowers', but it's one of the next best things.

P.S. Thanks for doing this guys. Also thanks for making it end on a Friday afternoon where the diversion is really appreciated.

where did 'you set the scene' place?
Yes. Thx Johnny Fever and seandalai

at least donna got the most votes by quite a considerable margin - 6 more than #1 or #2.

I *do* love Gimme Shelter, listening to it. Actually the first time I heard it I had no idea what it was and had to ask. The only time the Stones have ever come remotely close to making me do that.
Well done ILX for making the second-best song called God Only Knows its number 1
― gospermaban sim gishel (acoleuthic), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, good work Johnny & seandali.

Thanks organizers
― Spectrist, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
no black sabbath & no james brown & no parliament = staggering.
good poll tho johnny & seandalai, only a couple of songs I don't like. thanks!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
agreed with the thanks!
― skip, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Also yeah, cheers folks! :) Don't mind me and my occasional contrariness!
seandalai I mean.
― Gavin in Leeds, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah seriously this the wettest, twee-est Beach Boys song ever
it makes "I Get Around" seem like death metal
(congrats on running this poll guys, good job)
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
can we vote on moka being right about #1 instead?
― phish in your sleazebag (contenderizer), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, thanks for doing this!
― Tuomas, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Quite surprised no Cure placed tbh.
― babel on (pandemic), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
"I Get Around" is my favorite beach boys song!
― captayn cronch (crüt), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
THANK YOU JOHNNY FEVER!
and all y'all, even if you don't like the boredoms near enough

I am way more into this song if we're talking about the Beach Boys in sensitive crooning mode:

Don't get Gimme Shelter at all but obviously a lot of ILMers do. "God Only Knows" is great but I prefer both the other Beach Boys tracks that have appeared (also prefer a bunch of other Beach Boys tracks).
― seandalai, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
yes! massive thanks to the poll runners, Johnny and Seandalai! This was loads of fun!
― the structuralist constructions of (Viceroy), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
you need to hear 'beach boys love you' (or I guess, don't need to)
― iatee, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Should I post the full list on another thread?
thanks for giving me the extension and special thanks for all the work seandali did!
― ZOUNDS! (CaptainLorax), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, Gimme Shelter goes on a bit too long without doing much, maybe it isn't as good as that electrifying first minute and a half makes it out to be
I'm honouring this btw:

yeah that comment is me :D
― gospermaban sim gishel (acoleuthic), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
This has been a really good list with a worthy winner. Thanks to Johnny Fever and seandalai for putting this together.
― Kitchen Person, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Great job! A+++ would vote again.
― Krampus Interruptus (NickB), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, then its easy to access in futurexp
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
WOuld like to nom Johnny & Sean for the 2010 poll tbh.
In My Room is great but it doesn't hold a candle to this for songs about good locations to be depressed in:

― the structuralist constructions of (Viceroy), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks for a quick, well run poll. I couldn't even keep up.
only voted for 'strange fruit,' 'the message,' and 'satisfaction' from the top 10.
I've tried to get into Television and the Beach Boys, but could never.
elis regina singing "aguas de marco," like Ignition Remix, makes fucking happy against my will.
I guess those are my favorite songs then.
― nicky lo-fi, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I just love the vocal arrangement on "In My Room" tbh
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I am a massive Beach Boys fanboy but voted for Good Vibrations and Don't Worry Baby over God Only Knows. not that God Only Knows isn't great but the vulnerability on DWB is IMO the key part of their early catalog aside from the surfing, girls and car.
― skip, Friday, 3 December 2010 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah good rundown

^ this. would happily sub out any of the joy div/new order/smiths on this list (no surprise there) for "fire in cairo" or "close to me"
― phish in your sleazebag (contenderizer), Friday, 3 December 2010 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Yep, Shaggs for #1. Eric B & Rakim #2. It's not so much to ask, ILM.
