MAD POLL, LOST YER WAY – ILM Artist Poll #16 – The Rolling Stones RESULTS THREAD

Wait, you can go there? Inside?

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

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 ;_;

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.

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

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.

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

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

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'.

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

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

54. Undercover (Of The Night) - 167 points (8 votes)

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.

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

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

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

'Well I'm telling you they never got it right / Until they put out Undercover of the Night'
In Praise of The Genius That Was The Videos for The Rolling Stones Undercover LP

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.

desparOOOOOOOOOOs

53. Memo From Turner - 168 points (7 votes)

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.

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

BUT Ry's slide

52. Back Street Girl - 169 points (7 votes)

lol at keith's frippery

jeez was Keef sharing Brian's wardrobe? Crikey.

I love the look on Charlie's face

Backstreet Girl is so outstanding, voted it super high

I love the look on Charlie's face

applies to pretty much any Stones group shot iirc

otm

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

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

I appreciate his grumpiness.

"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.

I can see that. and I think I agree.

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

51. Jig-Saw Puzzle - 183 points (9 votes)

that's a hell of a 45 imo

Each side has a reprise of the other side

they really were butt ugly though.

who, the Stones, or the 45s?

xp

Love the Mellotron on "Jig-Saw Puzzle"

the Stones!

the hell you say

Brian scares me, I've never understood why anyone found him the least bit attractive. Bill is def creepy.

But Mick, Keef and Charlie all have a certain handsomeness to me. Especially in their young years.

young mick is like a notch below elvis pretty

Mick got better looking in the late seventies -- dunno if anyone agrees.

Bill Wyman's face looks like poached salmon.

and I don't AT ALL get Brian Jones' charisma.
