more bands should steal the "The Last Time" riff

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

omitting these two from my ballot was painful

gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago) link

will It's All Over Now be the highest placing cover? Not Fade Away, maybe? Love In Vain? surely not Shake Your Hips?

gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link

Not Fade Away will be there--the others, nah

Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link

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

some dude, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link

i think it would be crazy for 'time is on my side' to place over 'mother little helper' but it could happen

balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link

esp if any heinz ppl voted

only voted one Exile track but if I'd voted two, that'd been it.

GREAT pic

balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link

btw my pilgrimage to the Exile villa last summer was fab

Euler, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

Fabulous photo. Beautiful song and pristine solo.

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

Wait, you can go there? Inside?

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

x...p forgot about time is on my side. yeah, that could happen

gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

pristine solo

OTM and TOO LOW >:[

if i'd known you people were going to overlook this one i would have voted for it myself ;_;

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:36 (twelve years ago) link

considered a lot of exile, but not "shine a light". not to say i don't love it, just that i love a bunch of others so much more.

if i'd known you people were going to overlook this one i would have voted for it myself ;_;

Real problem with this poll, so many good songs, stuff just had to go ... probably going to be a common theme

grandavis, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:38 (twelve years ago) link

Exile was my number 2 album and I didn't vote for a single song off of it -- it's an album that I can't break into its constituent parts that easily.

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:39 (twelve years ago) link

I wasn't invited into the villa, no, just stood outside its gates & enjoyed the odor of money

Euler, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link

Yup, not sure I can think of another album that is so obviously most perfect whole.

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link

don't hate me, but while i lovvvvve the slow beginning of shine a light, i'm not crazy about it when it gets a-rockin'.

tylerw, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:42 (twelve years ago) link

never liked "mother's little helper", the combination of condescension and (what strikes me as feigned) sympathy sticks in my craw. reminds me of the ballot thread conversation about "salt of the earth". this is something jagger does frequently, especially when addressing women.

MLH = Stones doing the Kinks

Euler, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 20:46 (twelve years ago) link

xxpost no hatin' here. i love both tbh but totally get that.

I booted Shine a Light in favor of another track from Exile...but goddamn it hurt me to do it. Piano on that kinda gets me.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

love the background singers going 'yeah, you . . . ' on it

mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link

when I was in college I was morbidly obsessed by songs that I would have people play at my funeral
this one topped my list pretty regularly, lol

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:15 (twelve years ago) link

'this one' - shine a light, not undercover, lol

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:15 (twelve years ago) link

I'll admit I didn't really give Undercover a fair shake when I was making out my ballot, and probably still wouldn't have voted for Undercover of the Night, but that's a pretty nice track.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

desparOOOOOOOOOOs

i didn't vote for it either cuz i'll be goddamned i'm gonna have as much from undercover as i do from sticky fingers but it's still pretty great. one of their last attempts at 'contemporizing' their sound that worked.

balls, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

didn't make my ballot Ry's slide on "memo" is just wicked

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

BUT Ry's slide

lol at keith's frippery

mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:46 (twelve years ago) link

jeez was Keef sharing Brian's wardrobe? Crikey.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link

I love the look on Charlie's face

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link

Backstreet Girl is so outstanding, voted it super high

Euler, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link

I love the look on Charlie's face

applies to pretty much any Stones group shot iirc

otm

mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link

he has a wonderful catalog of 'Oh sod off' expressions

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link

Charlie has made a career out of rolling his eyes in outrage in videos.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago) link

I appreciate his grumpiness.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link

"back street girl" is one of those tracks that i love without reservation but that if this were the band that the stones were i wouldn't love them like i do. does that make sense? love the darkness hiding in twee stones but based on this there would have been no way to predict Sticky Fingers ever.

all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:58 (twelve years ago) link

I can see that. and I think I agree.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 21:59 (twelve years ago) link

btw it's worth checking out the point differential between 56 and 52
