but back to sister morphine -- ry cooder *is* really great on that isn't he. wonder if the stones ever tried to just hire ry as their new lead guitarist?

Salt of the Earth is funny and cruel. Sister Morphine is pretty and cruel until the "sweet cousin cocaine" part. then it's funny.

I love Salt of the Earth, I voted it pretty high
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
i remember one week when as teenagers i would taunt my brother by singing "Angie" in a really absurdly over the top Mick voice. good times.

Hey, how many total ballots were there? I assume the 42 was just the amount of album ballots, but that tracks are coming from a bigger pool, correct?
― grandavis, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
It always weirds me out how Hotel California's intro sounds sorta like Angie
it kinda pisses me off tbqh

noted upthread but since it's moving pretty fast:• 67 ballots• 169 tracks receiving votes

tbh, I first became aware of "Angie" via Tori Amos's cover of it on one of her singles or an ep or something. But I got around to the Stones original and really fell for it.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
xxxxp yeah, I used to sing Angie like this all the time. in fact, I still do
shouldn't the number of votes decide the ties?
voted for Out of Time! is it too low?
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks! Sorry, I looked for the total but somehow couldn't find it.

"angie" was one of the staple "slow dance" numbers when i was in junior high
― buzza, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
haaaa, such a raw song for 13 year olds to be dancing to.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
it's weird to think that "Angie" is one of only 8 or so Stones songs that topped the charts in the states. it sure doesn't feel like one of their 8 biggest songs.
― some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
it could, but since there are very few ties and they're all at the tail end of the list I went with more/merrier. rest assured there's no impact once things get serious.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
xp yeah in terms of classic rock radio ubiquity there are a bunch of stones songs ahead of "angie." not that i don't hear it pretty often.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
"angie" is a genuinely great song, top 20 for me, and the only one of these i really care about. damn glad i voted for it, as it wouldn't have made the cut otherwise.
LISTEN TO GOATS HEAD SOUP

interesting. maybe it's just the one i listen to out here, but it seems like i can't go a half hour w/o hearing beast of burden.

Beast Of Burden being third most played seems to square with that! (xpost)

Miss You, Start Me Up, Beast of Burden, Gimme Shelter, Sympathy For The Devil, Satisfaction
I have heard ALL of these w/in the past week blaring from the speakers outside the Hard Rock Cafe across the street from where I work.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
"Ir's All Over Now" was the last one I cut from my list. Something kinda perfect about it.

Actually, pretty much every week. xp
yeah, meant to say it makes sense (which i did not express well durr) xxp.

Aw damn, I went to a party and missed Voodoo Lounge's moment in the sun. I was the no.1 obviously. It's such a striking album to me, part of it is the sound, which is properly fresh and urgent, like they've got their mojo back and stopped, I dunno, following the times or something. You can imagine them kicking back and making the record they felt comfortable making - for a lot of acts that'd be a recipe for lame, but this is The Stones.
They've probably got better sets of songs, though these are damn good in their own right; it's just that I don't think they ever put out a better, truer set.

out of curiosity, where did you find that radio play info?
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
i love the way Mick's vocal comes in on "Out of Time", so.......? "mannered," sure, but that's half their discography--ah, fuck adjectives

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?
― Three Word Username, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
i hope Not Fade Away and Ain't Too Proud and Just My Imagination place but i only voted for originals
